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!

We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Florence with Michele as our guide, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, Michele impressed us with his deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and above all, his clear love and passione for what he does. What stood out the most was how genuinely invested he was in making our experience special. He even treated our entire family to gelato during the tour—a small gesture that spoke volumes about his kindness and generosity. Michele never once repeated himself or fell into a routine; he kept us captivated with fascinating insights, fresh perspectives, and a great sense of humor. We walked away having learned so much about Florence—its history, culture, and hidden gems—all thanks to his enthusiastic and thoughtful guidance. We wholeheartedly recommend Michele to anyone looking for a guide in Florence. He’s not just a guide—he’s a storyteller, a historian, and someone who truly brings the city to life. Grazie mille, Michele!Knowledge, Passion, and Gelato!

Hiring Michele was one of the best decisions we made on our trip to Italy. He was great and we got so much more out of our visit to the Uffizi than we would have on our own or in a large tour group. He was so knowledgeable and just a great companion to spend a few hours with talking about Italian art. Well worth it. Great Experience

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.
