Florence Private Tour Guide

My name is Paola Migliorini- I am an independent licensed guide in Florence, Siena and its provinces in the Tuscany region.  I am a member of the AGT, a national qualified association of guides.  I organize private walking tours and private driving guided tours all around Tuscany by van with 8 seats (+ 1 seat for driver / licensed guide, me!).  I have the NNC license which allows me to enter in all traffic limited areas of the city centers of Tuscany.

My City- Florence, the art capital of the world.  From the statue of David by Michelangelo to the Pitti Palace, from Santa Croce church where the most famous Italian glories are buried, to Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral, I don't know where to start or end describe my city.  Our history and our families such as a the Medici and their banks made Florence in the late XV century as big and as powerful economically as Paris was.  

I always tell my clients to discover Florence from its hills, from villas in Fiesole, to gardens in Bellosguardo surrounded by olives tress and cypresses.  Don't forget our countryside with its vineyards where we produce Chianti wine and extra-virgin olive oil.  Take roman roads past castles and all this will be a real 'under the Tuscan sun' experience!

About Me- I am 36 years old, born and live in Florence.  While studying art history I was working as tour leader leading Italian groups abroad.  Now, I enjoy much more to deal with foreigners, showing them my Tuscany.  I passed all written and oral exams of the local government to become a licensed guide.  I guide in English, French, German or Spanish.  I work with my husband Giuseppe and we have 2 vans, the same size.

My Past Guest's Comments

"Wow!  I never thought I'd appreciate a museum tour like I did Paola's.  She was awesome and I learned a lot about Italian art.  I'll never view Venus in the same way again."  Monique H., Fairfield, CA June 2006

"We had a fabulous time visiting Florence with you.  We especially liked the stories behind the paintings and sculptures.  You are the BEST!"  S. & M. Fisher, Windsor CT, USA June 2005
