Hi, I’m Jacopo
Hi, I’m Jacopo
I’ve lived in Florence for 22 years
I speak English, Italian and some French, Spanish
I am Student
My name is Jacopo, twenty-two, student of International Relations. I moved back to Florence, the city where i grew up, last September. Before that i lived in the US and The Netherlands. I love travelling: whenever i have some free time i do not hesitate to pack my backpack and go exploring. Bus, train, airplane, everything works! Nevertheless, solo travelling doesn't mean dirty hostels, bad food and no nights out. Quite the contrary: with the right tips, everything is possible! If you’re looking for someone to show you the best Florentine food, cozy cafes, vintage markets and off-the-grid attractions you’re in the right place. So open your heart and your mind and let me guide you through the history and culture of this amazing city and its amazing people!

My reviews

Florence is a city that I have wanted to visited for many years and I could literally not have picked a better tour guide than Jacopo in that he is a local Florentino and what better way to see the city than with a local? Jacopo took his time in guiding me around the city as we went to explore the many Architectural wonders and artifacts that Florence has to offer and places that I wanted to see of personal interest and explanation of the historical importance of the river Arno and the connection with the development of the city. I have been on many public and private tours and have felt that at times they were sometimes rushed but I like the ease of Pace that Jacopo took to make sure that I did not miss anything and helps the fact that he is pretty open to be able to ask anything and might add he does have a great sense of humour in which I discovered he is also a stand up comedian which he probably will not like me mentioning

He was knowledgeable, kind and funny. I appreciated the perfect blend of touristy sights and local hidden gems. Our Florence experience wouldn't have been this amazing without him. Thank you Jacopo!

Jacopo was an excellent guide. He was able to share his knowlege in an easy manner that I enjoyed. In addition he was courteous and pleasant to be around. I'm happy with the experience. Florence is a wonderful city to visit. Having a competent personal guide only added to my enjoyment.
