Francesca G.

Benvenuti in Italia! Welcome to Italy! Bienvenidos en Italia! My name is Francesca and I am a qualified guide for Florence and its province. Photography lover, food lover, sea lover…well why does the sea has something to do with Florence? Because I was born, raised and I still live in Livorno, a nice sea town created by the Medici family. As I had been lucky to live an exchange student experience in Australia I can understand the sense of wonder a tourist could have in a place like Tuscany and its cities. Visiting a place like Florence it is not only art, history, museums but it is our daily life, curious things as a local could see and live. Or imaging how locals like the Medici, Michelangelo or Leonardo. . . could have lived in their times. I can accept groups up to 6-7 persons so I can tailor the tour on the visitors'needs. I always update myself with courses expecially based on two of my greatest passions: photography and food. And all this work enables me to enjoy my work, wandering in these streets and talking about the importance of tasting a good gelato or taking family pictures of the clients with the most important or curious highlights of the city and to have good memories of the visit. Some fun facts about me: - favourite painting at Uffizi: just to name one "La Lippina" painted by Fra Filippo Lippi - favourite dish: not only one of course ;-) But if you are in Tuscany "Pici all'Aglione" - favourite street food: schiacciata with prosciutto - favourite wine: in Tuscany Bogheri DOC, out of Tuscany Ribolla Gialla
