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 knows her stuff! She led us for 2 and a half hours of interesting facts about the Medici family, complete with many sites and pictures of the important members of the Medici family. She has SO much information to share, and showed us so many interesting sites. I can't say enough about the wonderful time she spent with us!Knowledgeable and Engaging Host

Cristina was a wonderful guide. She explained every thing with much patience and detail and tailored it to our mixed group. She has an excellent knowledge of Florence and I would have booked all my tours in Florence with her if I had me her earlier. Cristina was good with both teenagers and older people. I would really recommend Cristina as your Florence guide. Brilliant Florence tour

We booked a Florence city tour with Cristina and we had a brilliant experience, easy to book, well known meeting point, Cristina's knowledge was incredible and she walked at our pace, showed us so many buildings and sites, which info about all of them. Cristina speaks really good English as well as understanding English humour, which made the whole morning such an enjoyable experience, she was friendly and generous with her time, even sent us some restaurant recommends afterwards. This was the first time we'd booked something like this, our friends recommends WithLocals and we absolutely loved it. Thank you Cristina for getting our Florence birthday trip off to a brilliant startBrilliant Way to explore Florence

I booked this tour for my in-laws, specifically as part of a surprise trip for my mother-in-law's 60th. They have not stopped talking about how brilliant this tour with Cristina was. My mother-in-law is very knowledgeable about Art and she said Cristina really knows her stuff. She was also able to tailor the tour to them so they got lots of information they were personally interested in. She also recommended they visited the Royal Apartments which have recently opened and helped getting them a ticket as there are limited spots. They loved this. She also helped them find somewhere for lunch. Overall Cristina has been amazing. For me communicating with her it was perfect and she was very organised. Thanks so much Cristina. Cristina is a beacon of knowledge

Christina was so lovely, and gave a really great tour! My kids were tired and cranky, and she was so patient with them and explained things at their level. Absolutely recommend! Wonderful family tour

This was our first trip to Florence. To be honest when we first arrived, we thought Florence would be a one and done for us, but after our tour with Cristina, we are definitely going back! Cristina is native to Florence and her love and pride for her city is so evident and infectious. She is extremely well-versed about the city ‘s history and showed us all of the hidden gems including the most delicious gelato! When the tour was over, she recommended wonderful restaurants that we enjoyed and directed us to some really nice authentic local shops. We really enjoyed our day with Cristina and she completely turned our limited first impression to an authentic awesome experience that we want to revisit! Don’t miss seeing Florence with Cristina!

We did a 1/2 day tour of San Lorenzo area plus David and loved it. Christina’s depth of historical knowledge is very evident in her descriptions of all the art and history. Plus she is a delightful person with great English. 10/10 for us. Christina is awesome

Our family recently did a "Florence Walking Tour" with Cristina. It was wonderful! It was absolutely our speed - my kids (Ages 11, 9, 5) were able to see the beautiful sights of Florence while walking and moving our legs. Cristina was so knowledgeable and personable. She relayed so much information, and more as she patiently answered my son (and husband's) endless questions about the Medici's - she knew it all! She also read the kids so well - knowing when a change or venue or rest was needed. Our kids noted this as a highlight of our entire trip to Italy! We look forward to our next time in Florence with Cristina!Florence walking tour with Cristina
