This tour will be fully customized, so I would like to suggest you some of my favorite must-see or hidden gems in Florence to choose together some of them. Imagine how much fun it would be if we start with a museum, then walk through a palazzo from 1200, then stop for coffee, then wander on to visit a beautiful church. Then you might be hungry and I will take you to a special restaurant away from tourists to make you experience simple, delicious, home-cooked food. Freshly nourished, we will wonder on to have a stroll along the banks of the Arno, a hidden place with beautiful views. Ice cream might sound perfect at this moment and then we segue into another museum for a bit of mind-blowingly beautiful art. This list of possibilities is simply a taste of what a day with me could be like. My tours are a storytelling of the history of Florence and the lives of the most intriguing families with juicy details and a little gossip. I can't wait to hear from you to get the planning started.

This time we toured the Chianti region, had a wonderful lunch and tour at Casa Emma and concluded at San Giminiano for walking/shopping/gelato, etc. Mau is an excellent guide with a great command of the history and interesting anecdotes to keep our 12yr old engaged. When we return to Tuscany, we will absolutely hire him again. Highly recommended!
