This Florence walking tour will give you an introduction to Florentine city, considered one of Italy’s most beautiful treasures. My three-hour tour takes you to some of the most outstanding monuments in the city centre of Florence with a lot of curiosities and funny stories. We will visit most places from outside, maybe entering some church, courtyard or loggia. I would like to give you the introduction to the history of the city, to the renaissance, the Medici family and the main artists.

About Tour Guide Joanna C.
Hello!
I'm Joanna, I was born and raised in Poland but since 2004 I have lived in Florence. I'm a tour guide in this stunning city but also in Siena, Pisa and San Gimignano.
I would like to offer you some tours "off the beaten path" to enjoy and discover Florence differently. I'm especially passionate about symbols, hidden meanings and dark stories. I quite enjoy working with older kids, let's say from 8 years old. They have always some difficult questions for me...
In my free time, I love hiking, visiting new places and writing on my blog about Tuscany.
I speak English, French, Italian, and obviously Polish.
Feel free to contact me for any question.
