Hi! My name is Valentina, I was born and raised in Florence. Since I was a little child my mother used to take me around the city telling me stories and curiosity, and this is how I fell in love with my city. When I grew up I decided to study art history and go deeper inside the history of Florence. After travelling around the world for few years, to improve my language skill, I have decided to come back to my birthplace and become a tour guide. I love to welcome people from all over the world to show them the beauty of this place. Florence is full of history and art and It will be my pleasure to tell you about the Medici family, the renaissance, gossips and much much more. I'm looking forward to meet you!! Licensed tour guide for Florence and Lucca. Licensed tour leader I'm not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or arrange a separate private car and driver.
