Hi, I’m RiLi
Hi, I’m RiLi
I’ve lived in Florence for 2 years
I speak English, Italian
I am Tour leader
I am a positive and creative person, with a big passion for illustration and scenography, related to cinema and theatre. I love architecture, photography and I have a strong eye for details. I am an enthusiastic and easy going person. Most of all, I am very curious, so I love spending time together with new people of any age. I moved to Florence to study in order to take a license as tour leader…just the best job, isn’t it? I love traveling - I would love to visit the whole world! So, I am a sucker for any kind of art, but we will explore so much more together! I’m looking forward to meet you and I will be glad to experience all the beauty Florence has to offer with you!

What an absolutely wonderful tour with Marilisa in Florence! She is very welcoming, engaging and informative. From the moment we started our walking tour she pointed out special gems that most people would walk right by. She brought to life the many sculptures, buildings and points of interest with connections to the history of Florence. Thank you Marilisa!

We had a wonderful walking tour of Florence including Oltarno. RiLi showed us interesting places that a newcomer would miss. The tour was tailored to our interests and We specifically avoided the typical busy area of the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio. We saw interesting architecture, hidden gardens, and areas where locals lived. The Odeon Bookstor/ Theatre was a great final stop.
