12 Years Abroad, Back in Florence — Let Me Show You the City I Call Home!
Hi! I'm Francesco, a Florentine who spent over a decade living abroad and came back with an even greater appreciation for my city. I speak Italian, English, and French fluently, and I love meeting people from different cultures. I'm passionate about history, art, technology, travel, good food, and conversations that can go from ancient Rome to artificial intelligence in minutes! Whether you'd like to explore Florence's hidden corners, visit a museum, discover authentic local restaurants, enjoy a coffee, or simply have someone to talk to, I'm happy to join you. I'm easygoing, curious, open-minded, and always up for spontaneous adventures. No rigid plans or tourist clichés, just genuine company, great conversations, and a local perspective. Solo traveler, expat, or local? Let's make your day more interesting!

Florence Through a Local's Eyes – Hidden Gems, Food & Stories
Discover the Florence I grew up in, beyond the typical tourist routes! We'll explore charming medieval streets, hidden squares, artisan neighborhoods, local markets, and some of my favorite spots for authentic Tuscan food, wine, and coffee. I'm passionate about Renaissance history, art, and the fascinating stories behind Florence's famous landmarks. But this isn't a scripted tour: we can explore at your own pace, follow your curiosity, and change plans whenever something catches your eye. Fancy visiting museums, discovering local restaurants, enjoying an aperitivo, taking photos, or simply having an interesting conversation while walking around? It's entirely up to you! Fluent in English, French, and Italian. Solo travelers, couples, expats, and curious explorers are all welcome. Think of it as spending a day in Florence with a local friend rather than following a tour guide.
