Ciao! Hello! Hola! Benvenuti in Italia! Hello, Welcome in Italy, Bienvenidos en Italia! My name is Francesca and I am a qualified tourist guide. Photography lover, food lover, sea lover…well do you know that there is a relationship between Florence and the sea ? The city where I was born and I still live live, Livorno, is a nice sea town created by the Medici family. As I had been lucky to live an exchange student experience in Australia, I can understand the sense of wonder a tourist could have in a place like Tuscany and its cities. Visiting places like Florence, Lucca, Livorno. . it is not only art, history, museums but it is our daily life, curious things as a local could see and live. Or imaging how locals like the Medici, Michelangelo or Leonardo. . . could have lived in their times. I can tailor the tour on the visitors'needs. I always update myself with courses expecially based on two of my greatest passions: photography and food. And all this work enables me to enjoy my work, wandering in these streets and talking about the importance of tasting a good gelato or taking family pictures of the clients with the most important or curious highlights of the city and to have good memories of the visit. Some fun facts about me: - favourite painting at Uffizi: just to name one "La Lippina" painted by Fra Filippo Lippi - favourite dish: not only one of course ;-) But if you are in Tuscany "Pici all'Aglione" - favourite street food: schiacciata with prosciutto - favourite wine: in Tuscany Bogheri DOC, out of Tuscany Ribolla Gialla And now. . . vamos, let's go . . . andiamo! Please - before booking any tour contact me to ask for my availability: I always update the calendar but better be sure. - contact me only for the publicised tours in Livorno, Lucca and Florence, do not contact me for other destinations - do not contact me for shore excursion.

Livorno "the open city" created by the Medici family, its colours, its history, its flavours
Overview of your Livorno tour
Why should you choose this tour? I was born and I still live in Livorno, this hidden jewel that we will unveil together. For many people Livorno is the place where the cruise boat stops to go to Florence, Pisa or Lucca but if you want to discover this city you would be surprised by its history, flavours, colours thanks to the contribution of many communities; the Jewish, the Greek, The English ones. . . just to name some) The Medici family molded this little fishermen's village, building their own military and commercial harbour, creating a free port and a multicultural city. We will have a stroll more in the old "Pentagon", as it is called due to the old walls, you will discover that Livorno has its own Venezia and a street where, once upon a time, every foreign community had its own church. And as a local I just love it! (Please before booking, check on the calendar given with the tour description or contact me about my availability, thank you) Let's go. . Vamos. . . Andiamo!
