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!

Overview of your Florence tour

I will start giving you a historical presentation from the foundation of Pisa as an Etruscan city, to its growth as a Roman colony, until the heyday of Pisa in the Middle Ages as one of the most powerful maritime republics. I will show you the monumental complex of Piazza dei Miracoli: Cathedral, Bell Tower, Baptistery, and Cemetery. We'll then drive to Lucca where I'll tell you about the foundation of Lucca as a Roman colony, up to its growth in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance as one of the most important cities in Italy. I'll show you its beautiful historic center surrounded by intact Renaissance-era city walls, with its Romanesque Cathedral of San Martino and its famous Piazza Anfiteatro. I am not going to give you a lecture, I'll be informative but I won't overdo with too many dates and names; I'll make your visit fun with anecdotes and legends, and you'll have time to enjoy a typical local meal, coffee or ice cream: I know you are here on holiday and your holiday is meant to be enjoyable and fun!
