Private Florence
experiences with a local host chosen for you

I’m Italian, born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Florence has been my home for almost half of my life. For nearly 20 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working as a tour leader, turning my love for travel, history, food, and great stories into a career. I specialize in wine tours, Vespa adventures, city tours, and sightseeing. But what I enjoy most is showing people the Florence and Tuscany that you might not find in a guidebook. From the enchanting vineyards and centuries-old castles of Chianti to charming villages and breathtaking views, there’s always another hidden gem waiting to be discovered. I love sharing stories from my travels and life experiences, but just as much, I love hearing the stories of the people I meet along the way. To me, the best part of traveling isn’t just the places you see..it’s the people you meet, the conversations you have, and the memories you take home with you. ??✨
