Hi! I’m Mik, your friendly and enthusiastic local host here in Florence. You’ll often find me running through Cascine Park, just a few steps from the city center. It’s my favorite spot to recharge and enjoy a bit of nature. And speaking of recharging, nothing beats sipping a glass of Chianti red wine in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Whether it’s the vineyards of Chianti or the narrow, bustling streets of Florence’s downtown, I know all the best spots to experience the city like a local. Of course, no visit to Florence is complete without tasting its incredible food! I’m passionate about sharing the best places to try traditional Tuscan dishes and local street food—trust me, you’ll love it. Whether you’re here for art, history, food, or all of the above, I’m here to make your time in Florence unforgettable. Let’s explore this amazing city together!

My reviews

Michele was an excellent guide. We were able to see everything we wanted in 4 hours. His recommendations for food were spot on. He was waiting on us in our hotel lobby prior to the start time. I would 100% use him again and I’ll be recommending him to my friends.

Michaela was so articulate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We covered several areas of the city, stopped for a cappuccino and were able to enjoy the city so much more after our tour. He even gave some great recommendations for restaurants, shops and other areas of the City.

Michele was Great! His warm and friendly personality as well as his professional knowledge and art history background gave us a super advantage on all the history, traditions, architectural design of the city! Would highly recommend him and this tour!
