Hi there! Nice to meet you

Cristina

Ciao ,my name is Cristina and I’m an authorised Tour Guide in Florence with a huge love for art and history, and not the last: FOOD.

If you are looking for a fizzy experience, here I am, ready to make your trip a memorable one.

Since I was a child I have been in loved with the city of Florence that I admire and I think has different experience to offer for any kind of traveler. During my university experience I had the chance to obtain a deep background related to art history and medieval history of Europe.

Travelling is the only healthy activity that we still have in the 21th century and it is our duty to enrich this unique experience, take the best of it and share it with the other ones.

I have started many years ago my amazing activity as a local guide and day by day I am more thirsty of knowledge and beautiful sights.

I adore to spend my time surrounded by people, food and good energy, telling stories about my beautiful Florence.

Full time mom, so also a friendly guide.

I can organise visit of any kind, just contact me. The platform shows only few offers, but my background is able to cover more: uffizi Gallery, Accademia Gallery, Medici's chapel-burriel, Santa Croce, Palazzo Vecchio, Palazzo Medici-Riccardi's palace and many others,

EVEN YOU WILL SEE THAT I’M NOT AVAILABLE, TRY THE SAME TO CONTACT ME AND TOGETHER WILL FIND A SOLUTION.

Looking forward to it! Florence is simply wonderful!

Cristina was a wonderful tour guide. The whole family enjoyed the tour. She was able to share tidbits and details that were interesting to each of us on an individual level. We loved the added bonus of being shown best places for local foods, gelato, and other shops/buys.

Knowledgeable, friendly, engaging are the first things that come to mind when thinking of our experience with Cristina. From initial contact she was very responsive and attentive. She understood exactly what we wanted to do and put together the perfect experience for our group. We will be coming back to Florence for more exploring and will certainly look for Cristina!Thank you Cristina!

Cristina came recommended, and rightfully so. We booked our tour a few months out and had ample opportunity to discuss with her about our requests, for example what to do with kids in Florence. We spend about 6 hours walking through the city, with the kids (and us) engaged the whole time. From the highlights (when was this build, what building is that) to more modern angles (eateries, artisan places etc.). All in all highly recommended.Must book if in Florence

Cristina was a wonderful guide, she had such a warm and lovely personality and made sure the tour was not only informative but also engaging and fun for our teenage children. They especially loved the gelato stop! Thank you Christina for sharing your local knowledge with us on our tour, we highly recommend you as a guide. A fabulous tour!

On our visit to Florence we wanted to know all we could about the Medici family and their influence on Florence. We decided a private tour was the way to go and we got extremely lucky when we found Christina. She was patient, kind, very knowledgeable and thorough. We did not do the Pitti Palace but did everything else. She listened to what we wanted to do and incorporated that into what we also asked her to include using her knowledge and judgement. We communicated before the tour and never once did she hesitate to answer our questions and concerns. Get lucky like we did. Christina rocks!!Christina made our trip special

Because of train delays, we were a few minutes late in meeting Cristina, but that really caused no problem. She was waiting for us, very welcoming and with a big smile. We had a group of 8, including our granddaughters who are 7 and 9. From the very beginning, Cristina included them in everything. Even though they didn’t respond much, they both said afterwards how nice she was. Cristina was extremely knowledgeable, added interesting stories, and asked questions to stimulate conversations. I highly recommend Cristina…I’m confident you will enjoy your experience with her.A enjoyable tour with a great guide.
