Hi, I’m Jacopo
I’ve lived in Florence for 22 years
I speak English, Italian and some French, Spanish
I am Contractor
My name is Jacopo, twenty-five, I work in political communication. I’ve lived in the US, The Netherlands, and Germany, before moving back to my be-loved Florence a couple of years ago. Love traveling: 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

Jacopo was a great guide showing and explaining all the key highlights of Firenze. We received just the right amount of information and history. Sometimes guides can be overwhelming with information which you cannot possibly retain.

Jacopo was very informative and set a good pace to the walking tour. He took extra time with us showing and explaining details and historical facts. He showed us wonderful places to look at on our own and places to eat or stop for a refreshment. Jacopo was most accommodating to our needs and interacted with everyone in our group.

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!
