We’re a group of friends and authorized tour guides of Florence, although we’d prefer to introduce ourselves as storytellers! Explaining history as a TALE is part of our NAME, BRAND and SOUL. We’re in love with our hometown and we’d like to transmit it to you, through its many stories, funny anecdotes and curiosities, that will make you travel into the past and LIVE IT as if it was a tale, and you, the main character. Afterwards, you'll be able to decipher Florence's symbols and read its architecture and statues on your own, like you're wearing Renaissance glasses.

Hi, I'm Chiara, a tour guide specialized in the Tuscan and Florentine territory, together with other authorized guides we offer various free tours in Florence and Pisa. I was born in Sicily but I grew up in Florence and that's why I know the city better than a native Florentine ;-) So I will try to make you experience the visit in the most genuine way possible! I lived in Spain for several years and this is why I hope to be able to communicate with you with the right nuances, always trying to build up good energy, hoping to make you feel at home. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me.
