Hello! My name is Armando, I am an expert of Italian art, history, archeology and culture, and I have been working as an official tour guide for over twenty-five years. I am originally from Rome, I moved to Vinci, Tuscany a few years ago - birth place of the famous Leonardo da Vinci, 25 miles West of Florence -, and I am specialized in private tours of Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca, Vinci and all of Tuscany. I provide my guests a great summary of some twenty centuries of history most cities boasts, telling them about art and archaeology, past and present, local culture and every day life, and how all is inextricably combined. I am not going to give you a lecture - unless you want to - I will be informative but I won't overdo with too many dates and names, I will make your visit fun with anecdotes and legends: I know you are here on holiday and your holiday is meant to be enjoyable and fun! Whether it is your first visit, second or third time in Florence and Tuscany, I will be happy to create a customized itinerary based upon your interests to make you experience a unique, relaxing vacation. Ciao! No restrictions at all!

My husband and I enjoyed five wonderful mornings with Armando. He developed our itinerary, purchased our tickets in advance, and provided us with an easy-paced tour of Florence. Armando is a master of the history of Florence, its art evolution, and the intrigues of the city. He demonstrated a wealth of knowledge that he easily conveyed to us. As a native Italian, born in Rome, being a guide in Rome for approximately 20 years, and then subsequently moving to the Florence area where he has been continuing his splendid tours for the past seven years, he is an historian with an encyclopedic memory of the riches of Italian culture and art. We highly recommend Armando as your tour guide. You will be happy that you did.
