I am a lively well-spoken tour guide and tour leader from Florence, and a person who has the ability to motivate different sets of audience; to communicate effectively and possesses a high degree of energy and enthusiasm. I am able to manage multiple tasks, self-motivated team player with excellent communication skills. I am proficient in Italian, English and Norwegian and possess a strong love for art and culture and enjoy passing on this passion for our land to my guests in an exciting and educational manner which will leave them not only with a lasting memory of the country that they have visited but also of myself and the company I am working for. Come with me and explore the best Florence has to offer. From world class museums and galleries to famous sites such as Santa Maria del Fiore, Santa Croce, Santa Maria Novella and the Palazzo Vecchio! I will ensure guests get the most out of their visit. I can show off Florence and Tuscany's hidden treasures such as narrow medieval street, hidden gardens, unique shops, and the quirky details that make a tour memorable while discovering Florence's past, present and future. Where did my passion for art come from? My mother was an art teacher and raised me among museum visits, catalogs, paints and brushes. To this day I still paint and have brought back to the walls of my room some of the works that I like best. I am very adaptable and flexible with guests' interests and taking into account any special events or the weather. With me as a private guide, guests will have the time to fully experience Florence - stopping to take the perfect photo or popping into one of the shops, cafes or pubs. I am also an enthusiastic well-spoken language teacher who has the ability to motivate different student ranges and a freelance translator for English and Scandinavian languages! I have a great passion for art and cooking, and consider cooking to be a high art form, so I suggest how to pair food and wine, while also looking for the right setting, as eating should be an all-around experience. I love cooking and make my own pasta, bread and pizza!

A full day, departing from Florence, to see the extraordinary beauty of the city of Siena and another famous Tuscan gem, San Gimignano, perched atop a hill and dotted with so many tall towers that it has been called the Manhattan of the Middle Ages. We will begin with a tour of Siena, which is famous for Piazza del Campo, where the Palio, or horse race, is held 2 times a year, and is equally famous for its districts, stunning cathedral and baptistery. We will then visit visit San Gimignano, which owes its name to the bishop of Modena who defended it against the Huns. I will show you the main squares and the most charming stores. Many of the towers can be visited. At the end of the tour we can finish with an ice cream from the famous three-time world champion Dondoli or a rich aperitif/lunch to taste the local dishes.
