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 destinnations 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 crucial 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 will 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!

Hi, I'm Eva! I've been living in Florence since 2012 and I've become a professional licensed tour guide in 2016, since then I did a lot of private tours around Florence and in Tuscany, working with families and small groups of friends. I'm still very curious and constantly learning new things about local history and artists, and Florence always gives you an opportunity to discover something interesting. I'm in love with my city and I live quite an active life, so I can tell you a lot of things not only about history, but also about modern life of Florence. During pandemic period I have finished the Wine Courses, so now I'm also professional sommelier, working in wine industry, and I can share my experience with you. We also have a nice wine cellar in the city center, where you can join one of our wine-tasting evenings. My concept of exploring Italy is doing it with taste and style. So during our tour we will have no rush and you will have an opportunity to really enjoy Italian style of life. Yes, I give a lot of historical information, but I'm very flexible and I always put your needs and wishes at the first place. So every tour is adopted to the client's preferences.

“Great opportunity to see this fabulous city”
Bianca substituted for Veronica. I enjoyed all aspects of the tour and learned many new things about the wonderful works of art on view. I especially loved that David. Such an incredible work of art that brought tears to my eyes. The same for the two beautiful Bottecelli paintings that are known throughout the world. The only thing that I disliked was fighting for space with all the other tourists. But that was to be expected. The most helpful part of having Bianca, as a guide was knowing which of the many lines you had to stand in. That was so confusing. Only an experienced guide could provide that sort of assistance. I enjoyed Bianca’s company as a person also, she was very lovely. Thank you for a great tour.

Veronica R.

“Awesome experience! ”
Eva was a wonderful guide- very knowledgeable and thorough. Great communication throughout the process- she was very transparent and detailed. The actual guided experience was exactly as we had expected- she took us to all the key spots and gave a detailed tour of the academia. She also helped us with us some shopping, particularly with helping us get great ceramic art! Highly recommend!

Thank you Dipanjan! It was my pleasure to be the tour guide for your family. You did very well to resist our heat wave! And the kids were great! I'm happy you got some nice souvenirs from Florence. All the best, Eva
