I am an expert local guide in Tuscany, half Italian half Brazilian with a great passion for Art! Throughout my life I have done numerous courses about art history, painters, theatre and music. I love going to museums, concerts, art galleries, theatres but also walking in the nature and relaxing on the beach. I love being around people from different cultures. I graduated in Art and Drama and I concluded a Master and a Doctorate Degree in these areas. Professionally, I've been working for 20 years as a touristic guide, a teacher and an actress. I've been living in Florence for 12 years. During this period I have taken people from all over the world to see the gorgeous landscapes in Tuscany and to visit the beautiful medieval cities such as Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Val D'orcia, Chianti, Pisa, Lucca, Volterra and many more. Visiting the historical buildings, the museums, squares and parks with so much history is a unique experience!

Born and raised in Rome, with family roots in Sardinia, I developed a deep appreciation for Italy’s regional diversity and cultural identity from an early age. For years, I have accompanied my guests across Italy, gaining hands-on knowledge of the country’s landscapes, traditions, and local communities. My approach is rooted in authenticity, meaningful connections, and a true understanding of how Italy works beyond the surface.

Hello, I’m Eleonora. I was born in Tuscany, just outside Florence, where growing up surrounded by history, shaped my curiosity and love for art. I studied Art History at the University of Florence, specializing in the Renaissance. I began guiding students early on, and it was there that I developed a passion for storytelling — because there is nothing more challenging than engaging teenagers and young adults. I later expanded my focus to the broader history of Italy, leading groups throughout the country, from Venice to Sicily. Eventually, I moved to Rome, where I now work as an expert tour guide, leading visits to the city’s most iconic sites, including the Vatican and the Colosseum, as well as off the beaten path, to some of its hidden gems. In my free time I love to drive around Italy to its myriad hilltop medieval towns, where each one is a new discovery, both architectural and natural and also, of course, culinary! Over the years, many travelers have asked me for advice and suggestions to help plan the rest of their itineraries. That is why I’m happy to connect with you even before your trip begins, sharing my insights and helping you make the most of your time in Italy.

Hi. My name is Michele, I was born in Naples, the city of pizza, and I used to work as a bartender.

Ciao, I'm Sara and I'm a professional tour guide working in Lucca and Pisa, who, after dreaming for a lifetime to live abroad, heard an unexpected call to come back to her roots.

I was born in the picturesque village of San Quirico, located in the hills between the Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Fiorentini regions. I spent my childhood and early youth there until my schooling and university took me to Florence. In the area, I always experienced the typical way of life of these places, taking part in village festivals, sagre and exhibitions that brought something new and promoted the area; but this wasn’t limited to where I was born, but extended to many parts of Tuscany. Thanks to the friendships I’ve built over the years, I’ve been able to broaden my horizons and get to know the region even more deeply: termal springs, hiking, wild camping, local specialities and hidden gems hard to find on any social media platform, exhibitions and events.

My passion extends beyond work: I regularly explore art exhibitions, attend concerts and theater shows, and discover the best venues with friends. This genuine local lifestyle enriches the travel advice I provide, offering insights no guidebook can match. While Florence is my specialty, I also have solid experience in Pisa, Siena, Lucca, the Tuscan coast, Bologna, Venice, and Rome.
