Having Consuelo as a tour guide was like having a master class in art history. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and incredibly kind and thoughtful. She exceeded our expectations in every way.

Hi everyone! My name is Consuelo and I'm looking forward to guide you through the most beautiful city in the world: Florence! I was born in Spain and there I started my studies in Art History but my love for art and the beauties of Italy made me move here in 2010. Firstly I landed in Rome, where I not only finished my degree but also got my licensed as tour guide. There I lived several years but a good day me and my family decided moving to Florence and becoming an official guide here too, because this city is magical and unequalled! Florence is not always an easy city but I love challenges and although it meant to start from scratch again, now I can say that I have become an authentic local. I not only know its history, but also its secrets, its best corners, its whims, its defects and its virtues. I am an inquisitiveness person, very curious and I have thirst for knowledge. I don't settle for easy things and I love to keep learning. I feel lucky and privileged of living here and I also feel deeply respect to the incomparable historical and natural Italian heritage. So I try to transmit my passion for art and history on the respect of the environment and nature. But definitely, what I like most about my work is to see that my guests enjoy and have fun on my tours. I have years of experience as tour guide: I have guided big groups, small groups, big families, small families, couples or singles. Short tours, long tours, full days or half days; by bike, by segway, by feet, by car, by boat, by horse-chariot , by golf cart or even by helicopter, as you prefer! The most important thing is to spend an unforgettable time during your visit, according to your needs, preferences and expectations. In short, I am completely in love with Florence and I want you to surrender to its charms too! Please remember I'm also ready to customize the tours according with you expectations. What are you waiting for? I am a licensed guide in Florence, Tuscany, Rome and Lazio. Degree in History of Art. I can prepare for you customized tours (full day or half day) with luxury private car and driver Even if my calendar shows no availability, feel free to get in touch. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. Just to clarify, I only arrange hotel or port pick-up and drop-off through the driver. I will meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

A walk around Piazza della Signoria and Duomo with the Uffizi Gallery Tour
Overview of your Florence tour
We'll embark on a delightful stroll through the city's most beloved landmarks, starting with the awe-inspiring Cathedral's square, home to the remarkable church and its storied Dome. Then, we'll marvel at the exquisite Baptistery with its doors to paradise, a true testament to Florence's architectural prowess. As we meander through Ponte Vecchio, let the charm of its storied past sweep you off your feet before we make our way to the picturesque Piazza della Signoria. Here, amidst the open-air museum, you'll be treated to breathtaking views that will leave you spellbound. But the pièce de résistance awaits as we venture into the hallowed halls of The Uffizi Gallery. More than just a museum, it's a treasure trove brimming with masterpieces of art and history. Allow me to be your guide as we uncover the secrets, stories, and symbols tucked away within its corridors and rooms. Are you ready to be swept away?

Consuelo was terrific and very knowledgeable. She customized our tour around our timeline and interests which was terrific. The only suggestion I have is that the walking tour combined with Uffizi was almost too much for us (hey, we are almost OLD!!!) I would break this tour up in to two separate tours as it will be less exhausting, but I would want Consuelo to guide us on both.

One of the best tours/guides we've EVER had! Consuelo led a fantastic tour of the Uffizi, providing superb insight as an art historian to put key pieces into context and elaborate on the finer points of the art. She kept us moving through the museum, stopping at the important pieces and moving past some of the less significant one. She also spent time during our walking tour pointing out palaces and other locations. In addition to being knowledgeable, she is very personable and speaks wonderful English!

We had a wonderful day touring Florence and visiting the Uffizi Gallery with Consuelo. Consuelo was so knowledgeable about the history and art, and made it very interesting. I don't have an overly long attention span in museums, but was never overwhelmed. Consuelo is very personable and fun to be with. What an amazing day. Couldn't recommend Consuelo more highly as an excellent tour guide.
