I am Professional tour guide in Florence
Hello, I am Claudio, I’m an Italian who was born in Johannesburg, SA. I’ve been living in Florence for half of my life now and have been working here as a tour leader for almost 20 years. I am an expert in wine tours, Vespa tours, city tours, and sightseeing. I love bringing people to the cities’ hidden gems like in Chianti where you will find enchanting vineyards and castles built centuries ago. I honestly don’t have a favorite place yet because there is so much more to explore in Tuscany, here we have Cinque Terre, San Gimignano, and Pisa, and the list is endless. I love sharing my life experiences and travel history with people as much as I love listening to others as well.
