More about me
I'm a licensed guide of Florence and Lucca with more than 15 years of experience. When I was a student I loved studying foreign languages, art and history so it was perfectly natural for me to become a Tour Leader and then a Tour guide! Florence is my home, my passion and my job. All my love for the history, art, good food and culture of my city is in every guided tour I give. I love sharing all that with my guests and taking care of them every second of our visit doing every tour with unrelenting passion and always a smile on my face!
