About Tour Guide Valentina L.

Hallo! My name is Valentina,

I was born and raised in Florence and I’ve been a tour guide for 10 years.

I’ve studied languages and I speak English, French and Spanish.

I’ve always loved traveling, It’s my great passion! I leaved for a while abroad, in order to improve the languages I studied but especially english, for this I spent a long time in Australia.

But there was another passion in my life, the art and history of my homeland, Florence. Since I was a little girl my mother used to take me around the city and tell me the stories of the artists, the renaissance, the Medici family. So, since I was little I began to study the art and the history of Florence.

When I came back from all my travels, I decided to combine the passion for my city with the one of traveling.

Being myself a traveler I know what people expect when here in Florence.

So I studied to became a guide and took the license.

Now I do the most beautiful job in the world, I meet people from everywhere; the world comes here and I’m so happy and proud to show the beauties of this fantastic city.

The David Experiencecover image

The David Experience

Florence
2 hours 30 min

The story of David would inspire many sculptures and paintings during the Italian Renaissance, with Christian themes being prevalent within art at this time. It would be the specific tale of David overcoming Goliath that would be featured most often, as artists looked to harness this powerful tale as inspiration for their own work. Even just within this single art movement, there would be many different interpretations, and each generation would influence the next with their own innovations.
