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!

This is the second time we used Cristina for a Uffizi tour. The first was in 2021 but my wife and my buddy’s wife both caught Covid and were restricted to their rooms while my buddy and I did the tour. Now back with my wife, we used Cristina again. Highly recommend her. Very well informed and knowledgeable about the museum and the arts’ history, focused on what mattered and gave good advice with respect to what else to do (and avoid) in Florence.

We had a wonderful morning with Cristina doing a Medici tour in Florence. She was so knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about her subject. She has really sparked our interest in finding out even more about the Medici family. She also gave us tips on where to eat and other places to visit. . She is a proud Florentine and we really enjoyed her company. The Medici tour in Florence

Great morning seeing the highlights of Florence art and history. We were 2 families traveling with kids 14 to 18. Christina was energetic and incredibly engaging with both adults and kids. Our kids can become a bit bored/uninterested with history/art, but Christina drew them in and interacted with all of us. We learned a lot and had a beautiful taste of Florence! Fantastic taste of Firenze!

Cristina was our best guide in Italy. She is so knowledgeable and makes everything relatable to all ages. Our children ages 17, 14 and 12 said it was their favorite tour. She even took us to an amazing spot for lunch and introduced us to the owner before going our separate ways. My kids say “she kept us interested and was to the point”, “super, super and customized our tour perfectly”, and “she actually made me fully enjoy the tour even though I don’t like tours.” Haha Do not hesitate to book with Cristina. I will recommend her to all of my friends. Buon Natale!! Amazing Tour

Cristina recently hosted me for a local Medici/Pitti Palace tour. She was very friendly from the get go and immediately impressed me with her level of knowledge during the walking tour portion. Along with discussing the life and relevance of the Medici family she was additionally good with small talk about family and life and was extremely welcoming. She gave an outstanding tour of the palace and Boboli Gardens (as an extra) and gave me some great food and shopping recommendations. I would definitely recommend her and would reach out to her for another tour on a return to Florence. Educational, fun, and friendly.

We booked this tour as a way to introduce our children (15 & 18) to Florence & its history. Christina was early to meet us, very friendly, knowledgeable, & engaging. She kept us moving through time & Florence, showing us the major Medici sites & providing us with a lot of interesting information on the family, history, architecture, & art. I would recommend this tour specifically & any others she leads. We all had a good time. Wonderful introduction to Florence
