My first time to Florence was in July -92 and it just felt right. I loved everything I saw and all the people I met so six months later I was living in Firenze and I have never had any regrets. Florence is my hometown and I live in the busy area of San Lorenzo. I have been working as a licensed tour guide in Florence since 2004 and in Siena since 2008. I consider myself very lucky because being a tour guide is not just a job. It is a lifestyle! One of the best things in my job is that every day is different and that I have the privilege to meet people from all parts of the world. I believe that a good tour guide has to love people and be willing to interact and share experiences. If I had to describe myself in three words they would be positive, outgoing and dynamic. My idea about giving tours is that they have to be more than just pleasant and informative. I think it is equally important to have fun without being superficial and to deliver an experience. I want you to fall in love with Florence and Tuscany like I did in 1992 and make you want to come back over and over again. I hope to see you soon! Ciao ciao Bachelor Degree in History. University of Stockholm. 1992 Licensed Tour Guide in Florence since 2004 Licensed Tour Guide in Siena since 2008 Member of the Association of Official Tour Guides in Florence, AGT I am not a driver but I can arrange for a car and driver.

Half Day Walking Tour
Overview of your Florence tour
Is this your first time in Florence? Experience with me the highlights of my city and a bit of daily life! Walking the streets of Florence is simply the best way to enjoy this fascinating and beautiful town where every single stone breathes history. Though I have been living downtown since 1993 there is always something new to discover even for me. I'll take you to the overwhelming Cathedral area, the elegant squares Piazza della Repubblica and Piazza della Signoria with its fantastic statues of David, Neptune and Perseus. We will stop by the 14th century bridge Ponte Vecchio and stroll the narrow streets of the Medieval area where Dante lived, the elegant fashion street Via Tornabuoni and visit the buzzling markets (the Mercato Centrale, where locals buy their food, and the Porcellino market for souvenirs).
