I am very passionate about my job and I like sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge with my guests. Being myself a traveler and having lived abroad for a while, I easily understand foreign languages and cultures and show greater empathy with those who visit Florence with me, managing to identify myself more in their shoes. For this reason my tours are never prepackaged and are always adaptable and customizable according to your requests and needs.
