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!

Half day tour to discover the other side of the Arno river
Overview of your Florence tour
With this tour we'll visit the "oltrarno": the other side of the Arno River (South side). We'll start with a visit to Pitti Palace, once Medici family residence combined with gardens, beautiful views and lavish rooms that house one of the finest collections of works of art including paintings by Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Rubens, Van Dyck, . . and others. We will continue with a visit to the Boboli Gardens, splendid examples of Italian garden art with a breathtaking view of Florence. I am not going to give you a lecture, 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, and I'll be happy to accommodate your requests by going faster through sites that don't interest you or stopping longer to see what's more relevant to you.
