Get a Private Tour of Florence!

Want to plan your own itinerary and have all the attention of a professional tour guide for yourself?

Well, then a private tour of Florence is the perfect solution!

FlorenceWebGuide will put you in touch with a certified local guide named Lucia who will ensure that your sightseeing visit of the city is unforgettable and unique.

Lucia is an Italian tour guide who was born in the much-loved and ever popular Chianti area of Tuscany.

A certified tour guide with a degree in English and a wine tasting license to boot, Lucia regularly accompanies private individuals and groups to visit and learn about the main sites of Florence.

Not Just a Guide, but a Wine Taster too!

If you are interested in Italian cuisine and Italy's wine culture, Lucia offers the added advantage of being a professional wine taster (called 'sommelier').

As a sommelier with a professional diploma, Lucia can explain and elaborate on the process of making wine to her guests.

You can also hear anecdotes about the famous Chianti “black rooster” wine, and be given suggestions about how to match wine with traditional Tuscan food.

And, of course, you can even opt for organizing a wine-tasting tour and visit a famous winery in the Chianti Classico district.
