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 was a delightful, knowledgeable, flexible and reliable.”
We were three Canadian adults who spent a full da with Eva on a walking tour of Florence highlights. She met us punctually at our B&B and gave us an overview of the day. We visited two museums, had lunch at a local restaurant and answered many questions about history and modern life in Florence. She provided good advice for shopping and other tours such as food tours available. Eva is a sommelier.
