Deeping down into the aromas world! Many people these days think of France as of the capital of perfume, but it was Cathrine the Medici who brought first perfume from Florence to France and started the fashion of wearing perfumed gloves. During our walking tour we will visit the Oldest Pharmacy in the city, the Museum of Aromas, some artisan perfume shops and the shop of niche perfumes. You will learn about the history of perfume and how the concept of it developed in time.

About Tour Guide 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.

“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.

“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!

Eva is a warm, knowledgeable guide who is fluent in English, Italian, and other languages.

Florence Mindgames – A Mentalist Experience with Darus
I offer a very unique experience that combines mentalism, storytelling, and the city’s atmosphere in a way that’s both emotional and entertaining. It’s not a typical tour — it’s a journey through the mind, inspired by Dante Alighieri, Galileo, and other great Florentines. It’s perfect for curious travelers looking for something unforgettable and off the beaten path.

With 35 minutes ride from Florence, passing from the medieval town of Impruneta, homeland of the “terracotta”, one of the oldest artisanal tradition in Tuscany, we’ll get to the Chianti wine area and meet one of our favorite organic winemaker. We’ll visit the winery, the vineyards, the cellar and then we’ll have a tasting and a Tuscan light lunch. Don’t worry, you can drink as much as you want, we’ll be driving!
