Ciao everybody! My name is Veronica and I'm from Florence. I've been a tour guide since 2008 and the goal of my tours is to offer you not only an artistic and historical overview of Florence, but an immersive visit into the typical aspects of the Italian life and culture. I used to live and work abroad: first as a student at UEA (University of East Anglia) in Norwich (UK), then as an apprentice in contemporary art galleries in Sevilla (Spain) and finally as a teacher of Italian and History of Art at Marist College in Poughkeepsie (New York). I have also worked as a Tour Leader around the world: USA, Africa, Russia and Europe. In short, I love travelling and whenever possible I leave my hometown to explore different countries and cultures. I'm an art historian. I love art as I think artworks tell stories and through those stories we can understand history. I'll show you the monuments of Florence not just in terms of style and beauty, but disclosing the social and historical context in which they were conceived and unveil the tales they hide. As a local, I'll also take you to my favorite places and to some of the artisan workshops who make Florence unique. Another passion of mine is wine. That's why I've become a certified sommelier. I believe that wine represents a very important part of Italian traditions. Behind a glass of wine you can discover history, nature, landscapes and lives of people. If you share my passion, I'll be more than happy to arrange for you a wine tasting in Florence! Recently I've been trained in accessible tourism for visually and mobility impaired people. So, let me know if you have specific needs. We can design together a trip that fits you. Btw, all my tours are customizable according to your requests and interests. I hope to see you soon in Florence! 2002 Degree in History of Art 2003 Master in Museum management 2007 Certificate as teacher of Italian as a second language 2008 Tour guide license of Florence 2019 Sommelier certificate I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

An English speaking driver will pick up you up at the Port of Livorno and will take you to Florence, where I will be waiting for you to show you my beautiful city. We will start with Piazza del Duomo where you will be awestruck by the magnificent architecture of the Cathedral with its iconic red-tiled dome. We will stroll through the charming streets of the Medieval District to piazza della Signoria which looks like an open-air museum. From here, we will make our way to the picturesque Ponte Vecchio, the stunning bridge that spans the Arno River. Our tour will end with a visit to the charming neighborhood of Oltrarno with its artisan workshops that make this district so unique. This area is also known for its local trattorias so, if you like, will have the opportunity to sample some delicious Tuscan cuisine before heading back to the Port of Livorno. Whether you are an art lover or just a curious traveler, this tour will leave you with unforgettable memories!
Veronica was amazing, very very knowledgeable about Florence and the history of Italy in general. This tour was awesome! She was very flexible with our schedules and I would highly recommend using her for the tour. 10/10! Honestly cannot say enough about how good this tour and Veronica was..... If coming from Livorno, make sure you build in the time to get from the port to Florence, which is about 90 minutes one-way.
Driver Kristian confirmed pick up the day before the tour and was promptly at the ship. He took us to Florence meeting guide Veronica who provided a great tour of Florence, She adapted quicly to our interest and needs (mobility) considering the enourmoua crowds visiting Florence. We enjoyed our time and her expertise explaining the history and life in Florence. On our return to Livorno, the driver stopped on Pisa, so we could see the tower site in great wether.
Veronica was a wealth of knowledge and provided a great experience. She was very accommodating and we could not have asked for anything more. I would definitely recommend her for families as she kept all ages engaged the entire time.
Veronica was FABULOUS!!! Great English, great sense of humor and she listened and collaborated so much in advance that we had the perfect Foodie tour of Firenze! She seems to know everyone in town and we enjoyed every moment with her - whether you're into food, history, art or all of the above, we highly recommend letting Veronica plan your perfect day!
We really enjoyed our tour with Veronica. Very knowledgeablemand excellent tour! We give her 5 stars if the system would allow us to.
Vero was an excellent tour guide. She was vivacious and extremely knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm for the history and character of Florence was delightful. She treated us like we were old friends and made our tour personal and exciting. Vero also was very flexible in customizing our tour. Clare and Jodi - United States
