I’ve lived in Florence for 11 years
I speak English, Spanish, Italian and some French
I am Wine & Food Tour Leader
Hey there! I'm Mara, your local host here in beautiful Florence! This city has stolen my heart from the mouthwatering food and rich wine culture to the vibrant arts scene and stunning architecture. One of my favorite pastimes is strolling through the streets at sunset, soaking in the beauty of this magical place before enjoying an aperitivo with friends. I'm passionate about the performing arts and love attending shows whenever I can. You can find me in Centro, Santo Spirito, or Oltrarno in Florence, or perhaps in the historic neighborhoods of Bologna like Santo Stefano and Quartiere Saragozza. Consider me your go-to expert for all things Bologna! Whether you're in search of the best food and wine spots, hidden gems, or fascinating curiosities, I've got you covered. Let's make unforgettable memories together in this incredible city!
Mara is the best guide ever for food and wine in Florence! You can do no better. She’s kind, smart, attentive, funny; she’s the best.

My husband and I had a great tour with Mara! We took the 2 hour tour and it was just enough time to give us a great overview of Florence and help us determine what we wanted to do during our stay. She was nice enough to take some pictures for us and give us historical knowledge of the different neighborhoods and places. Great value for the tour and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.
