Hey there, I'm Gianmarco - your local host in Florence! I'm passionate about this incredible city, where you can reach every location by foot if you want. Florence is an immortal city, thanks to its art, cuisine, and breathtaking landscape. When I'm not guiding visitors around the city, you can find me having a lampredotto with friends, walking through the city center, or enjoying a coffee from one of the city's rooftop cafes. I know Centro, Campo di Marte, and Oltrarno like the back of my hand, and I'm an expert on Florence's secret spots, lampredotto street shops, theaters, rooftop cafes and bars, and breathtaking landscape locations. If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience in Florence, I'm your guy. Whether you want to explore the city's historic landmarks, indulge in delicious cuisine, or discover hidden gems off the beaten path, I can show you the best of Florence. So what are you waiting for?

We had an amazing experience on our private tour of Florence. Our guide, Gianmarco, was incredibly kind, professional, and passionate about the city. His deep knowledge of Florence’s history, art, and hidden gems made the tour not only informative but also really enjoyable. He gave us great tips and recommendations to make the most of our stay—from local restaurants to lesser-known museums that are truly worth visiting. It was clear that he loves what he does, and he made us feel like locals for a day. Highly recommended!

On October 22nd, Gerry from City Unscripted took my wife and I through the beautiful old town of Tivoli. We began with a walk through the city streets, and Gerry took the time to explain how life in the middle ages affected the architecture of the city. He showed a deep knowledge of the area, its history and explained it very well. For Lunch, we ate at a small local restaurant where fresh pasta and wine from the owners' vineyard were provided - we didn't have to wait long, and the food tasted great. We then went through the Villa d'Este UNESCO World heritage Site, where we were given in-depth explanations on the meanings of the frescoes found in the villa, and looked upon many beautifully crafted fountains and well-maintained gardens. As we were running a bit short on time, our last two stops - The Tivoli Duomo Cattedrale di San Lorenzo (where we were allowed to see the ancient structure of the church) and the outer area of the Villa Gregoriano (where we saw a Roman temple) - were quite short, but Gerry wanted to fulfill my request of seeing more ancient structures from the Roman period, which was appreciated. Overall, I think we may have bit off more than we could chew, but Gerry was an excellent guide through the whole day.
