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.

Overview of your Florence tour
Let's emerge in the lavish lifestyle of the Medici! The Pitti Palace is the largest palace in Florence and the last residence of the Medici family.. Built by the Pitti family, the dwelling was sold to the rulers of Florence in the 16th century who bit by bit created a home of opulence. We will visit the Palatine Gallery which houses a great art collection in an exclusive environment. Let me show you the paintings by Raphael, Caravaggio and Rubens in the incredible rooms used by the Medici dynasty. I am sure you will be overwhelmed by the amazing frescoes and stuccoes. The Boboli Gardens at the back of the Pitti Palace are simply astonishing for the size and the beauty. I will show you around and take you to the most interesting parts of this immense Italian garden.
