Know before you go

I am a licensed guide, which means that I can explain the whole city's history, as well as its museums, art, and Italian culture to you.

Maybe you have already visited other important art cities in Italy and feel tired. Maybe you want a light introduction to Florence before going deeper into its exploration. Maybe you want to relax with a "local friend" and seek a quiet place to enjoy food in nice company. If this is your case, this is definitely your tour.
