Hello! I am Ilenia , Florence local guide, and I will be happy to guide you through the streets of the most beautiful town in the world: Florence! What I offer are experiences that will make you discover Florence in different aspects: history, art, food, and traditions. I love this town and the surprise I can see in the eyes of my guests when I show them Florence. I was born in Modena, the town of balsamic vinegar, Ferrari, and Pavarotti. When I was 23 I left home to go to London to learn English. That experience has been really unique and made me feel like I wanted to discover the world. After that, I started working for an Italian tour operator in hotels in Maldives, Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt, Greece, Germany, and Switzerland. This experience helped me to improve my English and learn how to find always the best solution for any of my guests. But as I reached Florence. . . I fell in love with the town, history, and masterpieces. Any corner of this town hides a secret, legend, or piece of history. That's why I decided to become a local guide, to have the possibility to share my passion with Everybody. When I do not work. . . I sing! Music is a passion and I try to find also some time to play with my band. I really hope to meet you here in Florence and help you to discover this beautiful town. See you in Florence!! - License as a local guide and tour leader, since 2016. - 15 years of experience working in Hotels as guest relations, receptionist, bookings. I can not drive a car with tourists, but I can find a driver with is own car/van.

Tuscany is famous for jills, medieval towns, food and wine. With this tour, you will enjoy all of them! We will do this tour using a minivan, and to reach any place, we will need about 1 hour of driving. We will start by visiting Siena, Florence's eternal enemy. We will see her beautiful streets, Campo Square, and I will tell you about the traditional Palio there. We will have lunch in a farmhouse near San Gimignano, which specializes in saffron and honey, where you will have lunch made with their products. If you prefer we can have lunch in a winery where you can taste some wines during lunch. Then, we will drive to San Gimignano, passing through the Chianti area, which is surrounded by beautiful hills and vineyards. San Gimignano is a typical "medieval borgo," a little town built on top of a hill that preserves the original medieval style: towers, a small alley, and amazing views. Let's go!
The tour starts in Florence: - First drive in about 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach Siena - Then we have about 45 minutes driving to San Gimignano ( driving in the cianti area) - The winery or farmhouse is close to San Gimignano, about 20 minutes driving - The way back to Florence is about 1 hour. All timing depends on the traffic
