After years of working with the public, I decided to hone my love for history, and combine it with a passion for art, so that I could pass along the knowledge I have acquired of my home town, Florence. Since 2016 I have been a certified Tour Guide.
It is a common place that Italy is a treasure trove for art and history, and I have been fortunate to be born in Florence, the jewel in her crown. It is well known that Florence alone has 25% of the world’s art treasures: the Uffizi Gallery, the Academy, Palazzo Pitti, Santa Croce, Brunelleschi’s cupola, the Doors of Paradise. But there are many unexplored corners that I would love to share with the discerning tourist.

Imagine experiencing past and present through a different lens. You can choose from a number of tours tailored around your needs and interests. From exploring Florence’s Roman past, through her Medieval period, through her glorious Renaissance with Michelangelo, Botticelli and Da Vinci, all the way up to her present, epitomized in the hip Oltrarno neighborhood.

Please feel free to contact me with any suggestions or specific interests because that will help us create the perfect tour for you. Cristiano- Florence Insight
