Michele

I got my degree as an Art-Historian in Napoli, my birth place. I fell in love with Florence and Tuscany when I was 25 during a trip and I settled my self in the city of Renaissance. Ex bartender, theatre actor, professional tour guide. I like to create a cocktail with these three ingredients and shake everything to get a magic tour...to drink with you!

This walking tour through Florence was absolutely unforgettable! “The History of Florence: Famous Medici Family & Pitti Palace Tour” was the perfect blend of rich history, beautiful architecture, and fascinating storytelling. We began at the iconic Odeon Theatre, a wonderful spot that set the tone for the tour with its old-world charm. From there, we explored the grand Pitti Palace, once home to the powerful Medici family, where we learned captivating stories about their influence over Florence and Europe. One of the unexpected highlights was a visit to the official Santa Maria Novella perfumery, a hidden gem full of centuries-old recipes and heavenly scents. Right nearby, the majestic Santa Maria Novella Church left us in awe with its frescoes and peaceful beauty. We were especially moved by the Medici tombs and museums, where history came alive through the stories of power, politics, and art. The tour also included time at the incredible Florence Cathedral (Duomo) — a true masterpiece of Renaissance architecture — and ended at the Museo di Palazzo Vecchio, the heart of Florence’s political history. Our local guide, Michele made all the difference — he was passionate, knowledgeable, and an incredible storyteller. Every stop felt like stepping into a time machine, guided by someone who genuinely loves and understands this city’s legacy. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dive deep into Florence’s storied past while walking through its most iconic landmarks. An unforgettable cultural experience!Journey Through Florence’s Past

We had no time to research Florence or learn very much Italian. Months before we arrived we booked a tour with Michele, then there we were. And he didn’t judge. He just told us stories about how Florence became what it is. We only have two days here. Not enough. He made us want to come back. Thank you, Michele. Transform from a tourist to a neighbor.

Our guide, Michele, was excellent and English and speaking ability was excellent as well. His style is more of that as a story teller, which related well with us. He also made sure we could ask questions and responded to which of us had asked. Uffizzi tour

We learned so much from Michele about the progression of art and about the political climate of Florence. He navigated us so well through the gallery.10

Michele was AMAZING. Super accommodating as we were late due to an unfortunate communication with our driver about which Piazza Della Republicia ….note - there’s more than one in Florence !!! But the tour was everything we’d hoped it would be, lots of great information and story telling which really made everything come alive. Michele also recommends times to see the busiest museums etc. If you’re looking for a tour guide then Michele is our 5* recommendation The Host with the Most

We have been to the Uffizi before, but this is the first time we secured a private tour. Michele was amazing from the first introduction! He was funny, engaging, and brought the art to life with his historical information. We enjoyed the experience so much and would definitely encourage everyone to do this!Pure Gold Uffizi Tour
