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 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!

Jacopo was awesome!! I highly recommend booking this tour! He is so accommodating with whatever you would like to see and offers suggestions as to what you need to see. Gives tips and emails sights/food/drink places to go explore on your own. Book this when you first arrive so you have an idea of where to go!

Jacopo was very accommodating!! He showed us everything we wanted and didn’t know we wanted to see! He didn’t let us miss anything! Even when we had questions he said he would send us a list of things we needed to go back and check out and even local suggestions of food/drink/sights. I HIGHLY recommend booking this private walking tour!! You get the local experience. A MUST DO!!

Our guide Jacobo was personable and knowledgeable on local history, culture and food. He took us to the market where locals shop and eat. Highly recommend Jacobo while in Florence.

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.
