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.

If you are passionate about dark stories, this tour is definitely for you. Crimes, passions and intrigues, murders and poisonings, prostitution and homosexuality, ghosts and public executions. Today, we see the beauty of the renaissance, and we idealize this period of history. But ours Michelangelo and Leonardo walked the streets full of violence and superstition. Discover it with me.

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.

I have planned a half day tour in Florence, kids oriented with a lot of curiosities, games, questions and funny facts. We will obviously visit the Florentine highlights like Piazza del Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio etc but I will talk more about details, mythological and biblical histories and things that keep your children's attention high. We can finish the tour with an ice-cream.
