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. I have a degree in Art History and a true genuine passion for art, food and the city where I grew up, and I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and sharing my knowledge with them. I'll be happy to share not only the beauty of Florence, but also some useful tips and local suggestions to help you make the most of your stay. I look forward to meeting you and exploring Florence together!

Welcome to the Uffizi Gallery, one of the world's greatest collections of Renaissance art — and one of the places where Florence's extraordinary history comes to life. During this private tour, I will take you through the highlights of the Uffizi while helping you understand the stories, people and ideas behind the masterpieces. We will admire works by some of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance, including Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael, while discovering how Florence became the cradle of the Renaissance. As a Florentine and a licensed local guide, I love bringing the paintings to life by telling you the stories behind them: the powerful Medici family, the artists who competed with one another, the patrons who commissioned these masterpieces and the fascinating details hidden in the paintings. You will learn how to look at a Renaissance painting, recognize its symbols and understand why these works were so revolutionary for their time.
Eleonora really made the Uffizi Gallery come alive with her knowledge and enthusiasm. Our group was tired from a day of sightseeing, but she had our attention as she described various works of art and told stories. Our granddaughters (age 12 and 14) totally enjoyed the adventure too.
Eleonora was informative and provided a very unique look into the past and how the art reflected the period the artists lived in. She was punctual, answered our questions and was very well versed in her knowledge of art.
Eleonora was everything we had hoped she would be. She was immensely knowledgable about art history but even better, her general knowledge of history helped to bring the art history alive and give it context. She had a delightful personality, was patient with our many questions, and we actually wished we had booked her for other tours in addition to the Uffizi. Thank you Eleonora!
Eleonora brings the history alive and makes you feel like you are living in the times. She is charming and accommodating and pointed out some good local restaurants and helped us find the best shops to visit. Eleonora is very knowledgeable and clearly enjoys her work.
Eleonora was a fantastic guide! She gave us the perfect overview of the Uffizi. She was knowledgeable and passionate about the beautiful pieces of art she introduced us to. Great tour!
We enjoyed our tour very much. Lots of information and anecdotal notes. We had interesting art conversations. Very accommodating. Would recommend.
