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

Probably you have already heard about the Medici family, but not everyone knows how this dynasty became the Lords of Florence and the Grand Dukes of Tuscany. Let me take you for a 3-hour walk through the streets of the city where the stones speak, revealing all the secrets of this extraordinary dynasty. How did the family manage to get to the power? How long did the Medici rule? Are there any family members around nowadays? Join the tour and I will answer all your questions as we visit the Palazzo Vecchio inside and pass by the other two residences of the dynasty, the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi and the Palazzo Pitti. We will also see where the Pazzi conspiracy took place, where the Medici members are buried and the secret walkway used by the family to cross the city on the top of the Old Bridge.

Your Florence tour itinerary
