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.
$550/ per group
