I speak Italian as mother tongue, fluently English and fluently Russian. I was born in Florence, I grew up in the most beautiful city of the world, I'm in love with my homeland since I opened for the first time my eyes on it. I like its History, its Art, its Food, its Landscapes, its Traditions, its people. . . well. . . I'm a little bit proud of my Tuscan roots and so I cannot be neutral! If you are looking for a real true Italian experience, not the stereotyped one, if you are interested in discovering the cradle of Renaissance and western modern culture, if you are curious as I am and you don't want just the most beaten paths. . . well. . . I think you should contact me and book one of my tours here displayed. I can offer you a full tailor-made service, high quality tours, a great time to spend in this amazing land. I can help you solving the issues that may occur during your stay in Tuscany. I wait for you in Florence!

A half day walking tour discovering traditions, legends and figures of Florence
Overview of your Florence tour
This is a tour for very curious travellers aimed to show the highlights of Florence from a special point of view. Florence has important ancient traditions carried on by Florentine people among the centuries. During this tour we discover these traditions strolling in the most important places of the city (Santa Croce Square, Signoria Square, the Old Bridge, Duomo Square and so on) and talking about special events occurred in those places during the millennial history of the city. Do you know football was invented in Florence? And do you know we have a chariot exploding every Easter morning? Our bread is unsalted, do you know why? To answer all these questions, you need a 100% local guide, one who was born in Florence and whose family is Florentine since forever. That local guide is me! You can read many books and articles but there is something special when it is part of your DNA. In my veins flows Florentine blood and talking about these traditions with you is like telling you about my own history.
