Hi there! Nice to meet you

alessandra

Ciao!

I was born and raised in Tuscany and have always been a curious art lover, so that I have been organising exhibitions and art events for over ten years out of passion. A few years ago I embarked on the new experience of becoming a tourist guide and I am looking forward to sharing with you stories, anecdotes, familiar places and hidden corners of my Florence, a city of great traditions which still thrives on a great fabric of artisans and artists who still enliven our streets and who are willing to share with your their stories.

We were a group of friends, some of us had been to Florence before and some for the first time. We wanted to explore the city with an expert guide, someone who had the inside track on not just the most popular spots, but also those hidden gems which only a city with the history of Florence can offer. Alessandra was an amazing guide with whom we spent the entire day. She knew when we needed a coffee break, just to rest the feet for a bit. She also took us to an amazing local restaurant where the pasta was absolutely delicious and only €7 a head. There were so many interesting sights, including a rooftop view of the city from an ancient tower, a boutique perfumery which was originally run by Dominican friars and several frescoes and paintings in small churches you would never find yourself. I can really recommend Alessandra if you want to delve into this historic city. A wonderful day exploring Florence

Fantastico tour a piedi per Firenze Abbiamo trascorso una mattinata molto piacevole con Alessandra passeggiando per le strade di Firenze e ascoltando le storie delle famiglie e dei potenti che hanno plasmato la città e la sua architettura. Alessandra è estremamente ben informata sulla storia ed è stata felice di rispondere a tutte le nostre domande e adattare il tour ai nostri interessi. Abbiamo adorato scoprire aree della città che altrimenti non avremmo saputo.Fantastico tour a piedi per Firenze

Eravamo un gruppo di 4 persone, con interessi sia nel cibo che nell'artigianato, quindi Alessandra era la Guida perfetta per noi! Lei era flessibile con gli accordi così abbiamo adattato il tour alimentare per soddisfare i nostri altri interessi. La comunicazione è stata estremamente facile mentre stavamo pianificando, e anche il meet up è stato facile. Alessandra ci ha portato a vedere una fabbrica di seta, una dimostrazione di marmorizzazione della carta, un orafo e altri, oltre a trovare il tempo per i gusti alimentari in un piccolo bar e un viaggio in un mercato alimentare. È stata una giornata molto memorabile e piacevole. Grazie Alessandra xOttima Guida turistica, soprattutto cibo e artigianato

Our tour guide Alessandra was very flexible, working through the tour with whatever we got to do. Any addition to food, she toured us through the smaller parts of Florence pointing out the history of this part of town; stopping in on a local stone maker and many other things. So enjoyable spending the afternoon with her.mazing - Much More Than a Food Experience

Our tour guide was amazing. She had the opportunity to show us various locations and expose us to foreign dishes that we hadn't experienced before. I cannot stress enough how much I endorse Alessandra Bini; she is unparalleled in her excellence.Incredible

We were a group of 4, with interests in both food and crafts, so Alessandra was the perfect guide for us ! She was flexible with arrangements so we adapted the food tour to accommodate our other interests. Communication was extremely easy while we were planning, and the meet up was easy too. Alessandra took us to see a silk factory, a demonstration of paper marbling, a goldsmiths and others as well as finding time for food tastes in a tiny bar and a trip to a food market. It was a very memorable and enjoyable day. Thanks Alessandra xFabulous tour in Florence

Alessandra was a great host. She has a very thorough knowledge of the city and although it was a food tour she pointed out historical landmarks while walking around the city. She took us to a few great local spots that we would have never gone to having traveled on our own. The gelato that we ended our tour on was to die for! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a food tour in Italy.Great tour with Alessandra!
