Buongiorno! I'm Karine, your private licensed guide for Lucca, Pisa and Florence provinces. I live in Italy but I was born in the south-west of France in 1970. I'm a professional working in tourism and have been organising and escorting individual customers and groups for 30 years! I have a limitless passion for Italy and one of my dreams came true when I settled in Tuscany in 1991, after obtaining my national guide's licence in France. I work as a tour leader in Tuscany and Italy since 1993, I am a licensed guide in Florence, Pisa, Lucca and their respective provinces. I'm a member of the National Association of Touristic Guides (ANGT) and the European Guide Federation (FEG). During these thirty years, I've met all kinds of obstacles in organising trips and, above all, a sea of emotions with customers who've always been ready to share experiences and knowledge. On the other hand, I've learned that customers aren't all the same, to be offered the same tours as everyone else. I like to understand what people like so I can offer them the programme they really want. Working in travel agencies has allowed me to understand the work from the organiser's point of view and my experience behind a desk, together with years and years of contact with customers, has given me the professionalism that only the most varied and numerous experiences can give. Authorized and licensed guide in the provinces of Lucca, Pisa and Florence.

I won't try to hide my passion for this fascinating, mysterious town! Populated during the first civilisation in Italy, 3000 years ago (seventh century B. C. ), Volterra was one of the twelve capitals of the Etruscan kingdom and was three times larger than it is today. We can really feel the authentic atmosphere by walking in the streets of this enchanting town. It's one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Tuscany and also one of the gems of Tuscany, far away from the mass tourism. The narrow streets lined with 13th-century tower-houses, 17th-century palazzos with a Florentine influence and the spectacular Piazza dei Priori, the natural framework from the Middle Ages, synonymous with artistic splendour and rigorous civic architecture will seduce you. Stephanie Meyer's saga New Moon was greatly influenced by Volterra with Velathri, the old name for Volterra, being the name of one of the families in the book.
We will visit the Etruscan Volterra. External visits of: - etruscan gate. - the Roman theater and spa. - the medieval town walls and the Priori central square. - the Buonparenti tower-houses. internal visit of: - the 12th century cathedral. - the octagonal baptistery. Eventually the Etruscan museum with the extra ticket and a workshop of an alabaster craftman. Any special request you may have, do not hesitate to ask. I can always customise this tour just for you!
