I’ve lived in Florence for 24 years
I speak English, Italian
I am a Somelier
I'm Val - a passionate local who’s endlessly inspired by Florence’s charm, from its tucked-away wine bars and artisan shops to the warmth of its people. I know the city like the back of my hand - from the lively streets of Santo Spirito and San Lorenzo to the elegance of Fiesole and Santa Croce. Whether I’m discovering a new trattoria, enjoying a glass of Tuscan wine, or exploring hidden art beyond the galleries, I’m always chasing the soul of Florence. I love sharing its flavours, stories, and beauty with curious travellers – especially through its food, wine, shopping gems and art.
Get ready to have a super fun and unique tour. Unique because Val gives you super unique history and locations that are not on most tours. She is a super guide, family oriented, and a wealth of knowledge about Florence. A+ Thank you from Georgia. We will send Mom soon.
