During this tour you will explore the less visited part of the city: Oltrarno and you will admire the most panoramic views in the town. You will know more about local food, traditions, street art and you will have the unique occasion to visit one of the oldest churches and pharmacies in Florence, San Miniato al Monte.
This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!
Piazza Santa Croce
We will start at the piazza Santa Croce, in front of the Franciscan church.
Discover the amazing views over the Arno river and step into the Oltrarno district, a favorite place to grab some local food and discover Florentine workshops.
I will show you the garden full of roses, aromatic plants and... sculptures. But above all, this place offers stunning views.
We will pay a visit to the one of the oldest churches in Florence. I will reveal you some mysteries about its facade, show you the historical benedictine pharmacy and again...the views from the hill are stunning.
The panoramic spots are not over. From the piazzale dedicated to Michelangelo, you will have almost 360° vision of the city.
We will talk and discover some street art in Florence. You will have an occasion to see an authentic workshop of the Florentine street artist.
Taking a walk over the river, the tour will finish at Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in town.

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.
“Joanna is a wonderful guide!”
My friends and I had a great experience with Joanna. Her knowledge of Pisa and its highlights is extensive. Five-star recommendation!
