Hi there! Nice to meet you

Ciao! Benvenuti!

My name is Dina. I want you to experience Florence in an UNFORGETTABLE way. My goal is for you never to forget Florence and your time touring its mysteries and historical wonders.

I'm always excited about learning new things, discovering new places, and meeting new people. I enjoy art in all of its formats, from the ancient to the modern, from the museums to the streets, from conventional art to tattoos; all of it has beauty and meaning. I am passionate about food, wine, history, and, of course, art! I live by the mottos "life is too short for bad food and drink, " and "if you take art and history and mix it with a little wine, you have perfection. "

I live and work in Florence as a full-time tour guide and want to be able to show you Florence through the eyes of a local.

My goal is to give you a different kind of tour experience: informative and fun at the same time! I don't want to just offer a description, an art lesson, or a regurgitation of dates and names; I want you to have an authentic experience introducing you to our local traditions, legends, food, and wine. I will show you the connection between what you see and the stories of the IMPORTANT men and women who built and lived in Florence. This will give you the chance to see Florence as I do, with a historical passion and a reason for that passion.

I would love to walk with you into the past. As we walk through the renaissance alleys and streets of Florence's inner city, we will follow in the footsteps of some of the greatest artists and learn their fascinating tales. These stories are not just at the most popular sites, such as the Uffizi or L'Acadamia, but also in the Palazzo Vecchio, the Bargello Museum, and the Pitti Palace. Truly, everywhere you turn in Florence, there is history at your fingertips

Together we can attach happy memories to your Florentine vacation, ensuring that you will never forget the city or your time here.

Memorable storytelling, delicious gelato, and a big smile are the main ingredients of my tours. Choose me as your guide; I guarantee you will have an unforgettable experience!

My tours can be customized and adapted to suit your schedule. Please send me a message with your interests, and I will personalize the tour just for you! If you are traveling with children, let me know, I can also make the tour fun for them!

EVEN IF YOU SEE I AM NOT AVAILABLE ON THE CALENDAR, PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE. WE CAN ALWAYS MAKE THINGS WORK! IF YOU WILL LIKE A PERSONALIZED OFFER PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE!

Our experience with Dina was truly exceptional — one of the best guided tours I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she took the time to create a customized itinerary that thoughtfully considered the diverse ages and walking abilities in our group. Her deep knowledge of Florentine history, combined with her engaging storytelling, brought the city to life in a meaningful and memorable way. Dina has a warm, friendly, and patient presence that made everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. She masterfully blended historical insight with modern-day context, helping us understand Florence not just as a museum city, but as a living, evolving place. The use of audio earpieces was a thoughtful touch, ensuring that all eight of us could hear her clearly despite the hustle and bustle around us. I’ve used WithLocals for several years across many countries, and I can say with confidence that Dina has been the best guide we've had. Her preparation, passion, and personal touch made our time in Florence unforgettable. I’m already looking forward to returning — and when I do, I won’t hesitate to book another tour with her.Dina Made Firenze Come Alive for Our Group

Well, my tour couldn’t have gone better! It was totally tailored to me, as I wanted a mix of artisanal makers, food and drink. Dina was lovely and we chatted naturally as we meandered around the streets of Firenze, she introduced me to makers creating stunning, one-off artisanal pieces. I loved watching the process (and buying some beautiful things)! There were sweet treats and surprises along the way! And I feel I know the city a little better now. A wonderful wonderful tour, that felt like a mooch with a friend in the know! Fabulous, tailored day

Dina was extremely helpful and a great resource for us in Florence! She showed us the best spots for Gelato and food on our tour, made sure we saw what we wanted, and left plenty of time for questions. Her english is also very good and she makes things super easy to comprehend! We booked her for two different tours and I 100% recommend booking her for your experiences in Florence! Great Tour Guide in Florence!

We took two tours with Dina as our guide and they were exactly what we were looking for. The 3 hour tour of Florence gave us an idea of the history of the beautiful city and where we wanted to explore more. The tour of the UffizziTours with Dina

Dina was our host through the Uffizi Gallery for our family. She was delightful from beginning to end and so very knowledgeable about the beautiful works of art in the gallery. Experiencing the Uffizi was SO much more meaningful with Dina to help us understand what we were experiencing. She brought the art and artists to life, as well as those who commissioned the art. Her English is wonderful, too! Thank you Dina for a wonderful experience! Dina is Wonderful!

Dina took us on a great tour of the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery. She was very responsive in planning our tour and made adjustments based on what I requested. She was willing to do less than the usual 4 hour tour since we thiught that would be too long for us. Dina was such a great guide that she made our time at the museums one of our favorite activities. She knew just the right pace to go and how much detail to give us to keep it interesting for our group of six. Aside from being so informative she was so fun and easy to be with. We highly recommend Dina!!Fantastic tour of museums with Dina!
