THIS IS A SLOW AND NON-TOURISTIC TOUR!
Together we are feeling the holy side of Florence related to an incredibly deep sacred identity, to flowers, to perfumes, to music. We will feel Florence through the five senses like people used to do in the Middle Ages. We are talking about a diverse way to see Florence in its deep and most authentic nature: We are entering empty yards and deserted cloisters, feeling the silence of this city and being completely out of the crowd. Follow me to join my tour about the Renaissance too! But never forget this: before being the city of beauty, this city was a holy place, let’s experience it together. Grazie :)

Passionate and meaningful tour - The tour was great. We got to meet hidden places in Florence and truly grasp what's the city beyond the most touristic places.
Camilla is a passionate and careful tour guide, with a beautiful soul and an artistic mind. You can tell she loves what she does and all that passion is what makes the tour so great. We experienced profound and meaningful moments with the group, with Camilla, but especially with ourselves and Firenze.
Highly recommend going on your first day in the city, because it'll unlock places you can enjoy during your stay.

Discover Firenze with a local art historian that loves her city - Amazing tour with Camilla. She showed her view, knowledge and love of the city. We discovered local places with no tourists.
I definitely recommend it, especially at the start of your stay because she'll give you many tips for restaurants, museums and of course gelaterie.
Grazie!

A wonderful, unique experience - I had the most wonderful day in Florence with Camilla! She speaks so passionately and has a genuine love for this city, I learned so much on this tour. In most tours I’ve been on, we mostly walk around the touristy, busy parts of cities but with Camilla we got to enter some interesting and beautiful places. She took me to places I wouldn’t have thought to enter. I was captivated by the whole thing and would highly recommend this tour and when I come back I’ll be sure to taste my way through the city with Camilla next time I come to Firenze, the city of flowers.
Grazie Camilla!

Camilla is the best! - Camilla was honestly the best tour guide I've had in all of Italia. She knew so much about the history of Florence and had stories for literally everything we walked past! She was so kind and patient. If you get a chance to go on one of her tours (if it isn't full!) then you would be crazy not to book it as quick as you can! We'll be coming back to Florence just for her in the near future!

Authentic Firenze - Camilla is very knowledgeable and passionate about authentic Firenze art and culture, and that came across in both her public and private tours. Great experience and highly recommended for a smaller, more intimate experience.

The best tour I’ve taken! - I could not recommend Camilla and her tours more highly. I took a tour with her on Tuesday and loved it so much I booked another for Wednesday! She is smart, engaging, articulate, and thoughtful in her presentation of information and the structure of the tours. I learned so much. The Essence of Florence, especially, is one of a kind. (Just wait until she sings! It’s magical).
The first tour I took had about 40 people in it, and the second tour had only 3. I of course preferred the smaller tour since she was able to cater to our interests better, but had no complaints about the larger tour either.
Also - her recommendations about where to eat/drink have all been fabulous and off the beaten path. It’s worth it just for this!

The best experience - If you have a chance to attend only one tour in Florence, it should be definitely the one with Camilla. I have attended many walking tours all around the globe, but this is for sure one of the best so far. If you are looking for something special and different, go for it. Camilla is local with great knowledge of local history and with the charm of her own she will tell you the stories that you won’t hear about and will show you the places that you won’t see on other ordinary walking tours. I'm very glad that I took part in walking tour with Camilla and when I'm next in Florence, I will be happy to go again. Apparently, walking tours are not only her job but also her passion, and that's why she brings a piece of herself into them. Once more Camilla, grazie mille per tutto. Ci vediamo a Firenze.

TAKE THIS TOUR! - If you do ONE thing in while in Florence, take a tour with Camilla. She is a master storyteller and brings medieval and Renaissance Florence to life. She has incredibly deep knowledge of both art and history that she shares in a charming and entertaining way. Her tours truly enriched my understanding of Florence. AND, it was so much FUN. She is gifted-take any of her tours! (And you will also learn about the best gelato!)

The BEST tour EVER (with Camilla)! - I recommend Camilla!! She is an incredible guide. She clearly loves what she does, and with her you will experience the art of Florence in a much deeper, and more meaningful way. We’ve taken many museum tours and I can honestly say that we’ve never enjoyed a tour as much as we did hers. Not only that, we saw Florence in a completely different way after we met her. She is one in a million! Ask for her. You will not be disappointed!!

Patient, passionate & fulfilling. - I greatly appreciated the flexible pricing for those that truly need it. My mother & I asked to tip after with a credit card via SumUp on Camilla’s mobile. Be prepared for stairs & small/perhaps crowded public spaces to experience the best moments!
