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.
