Ciao and welcome to Florence! I'm Eleonora, a licensed local guide born and raised in Florence, and I'd be delighted to help you discover my hometown. I love sharing Florence with visitors, not only through its famous monuments and masterpieces, but also through the stories, traditions and everyday details that make this city so special. Whether it's your first time in Florence and you'd like to explore its main highlights, you're interested in Michelangelo and the Renaissance, or you'd prefer to discover local neighbourhoods, food and traditions, I'll be happy to plan a tour around your interests and expectations. My tours are private and flexible, with a relaxed pace and plenty of time for questions and conversation. I'm not just here to show you Florence. I'm here to make you experience it.

Eleanora was delightful and knowledgeable!! She was patient with us when we were running a tad late, and gave us a wonderful tour.

Our tour guide Eleonora gave us a private tour of the Duomo, the Crypt, the Baptistery, and the museum. She was knowledge, polite, and lovely to tour with. She answered all of our questions and gave us additional information as well. I left with an excellent understanding of the history, culture, and ideology of the Duomo. I felt right at home with Eleonora.
