Eva G.
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.

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!

During my experiences, you’ll step into a journey where your thoughts, choices, and emotions become part of the story. You’ll explore Florence through moments of surprise, laughter, and connection that blur the line between imagination and reality. What begins as a simple walk soon turns into an unforgettable adventure of the mind. I’m Darus, a professional mentalist with years of experience performing for companies and private groups across Italy, dedicated to creating meaningful, emotional, and truly human experiences.

Florence Tour Reviews
Brian S.
“Eva G. Is an excellent guide”
Eva toured us through Florence and was excellent! Eva is attractive and personable; we all enjoyed being with her, especially our teenage granddaughters. She is so knowledgeable, highly educated in Tuscan history, and her English is easy to understand.We have seen Florence before, but she is the first guide to show us the Roman stone with grapestomping and shipping , which is reused on the side wall of the Duomo. We saw Santa Croce, Piazza Signoria, Ponte Vecchio, the Loggia Medici, some gift shops we were interested in, a wonderful old restaurant Eva knew about, the Accademia, and finally, after spending longer than we had arranged for, Eva delivered us to the Uffizi Galleries.She was well-prepared, with lots of old pictures of areas on an ipad to illustrate the changes in Florence and its city plan. Eva is a fine guide whose tours would benefit anyone.

Thank you Brian, it was really a pleasure to meet you and your grand daughters! I hope they bring back home great memories of Florence!
Ellen C.
“Uffizi and Accademia Galleries”
Amazing. Veronica met us at our Airbnb and led us on a wonderful tour. She is extremely knowledgeable and her English is incredible. She also arranged transportation from Castelina in Chianti to Florence. Cannot recommend her high enough.

Veronica R.
Ciao Ellen! :) Thank you so much for your review. It was a pleasure spending the day with your fun group. I’m glad you had a great time and I wish you all a great rest of your stay in Florence.
Mary P.
“amazingly attentive and informative!”
Eva bent over backwards to be accommodating, helpful and considerate to our tour group of 8 (ranging from 7 to 75 years old). She made all of the arrangements beforehand for transportation, found us a great spot for lunch, and chose perfect spots for us to see in Siena and San Gimignano. She had tons of insights and knowledge about the places and things we were seeing, was flexible when people wanted to stop to shop or take photos, and was compassionate about the pace in the heat and sun. I would recommend using Eva to everyone I know without hesitation or reservation!

Dear Mary, thank you for choosing me and trusting me your day! I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was really nice to meet you and your family! All the best!
