WHY TOURING FLORENCE WITH A PRIVATE GUIDE
Being a Florence Private Guide is more than a profession: it is a true passion! I truly love my job and I do it with great enthusiasm. The tour guide profession could appear to be a simple job. Many times when I say that I’m a tour guide of Florence, people enthusiastically say that it must be great. This is the truth! However, you need deep human skills and a considerable cultural and linguistic background, obtained through years of study and work experience. Furthermore, working everyday in the rain and in the sun, many times with 100 degrees, it’s not easy! This is my full time job and I have been doing it since 2008. I’m aware that in the most of the countries being a tour guide is a hobby or a volunteering part time activity. Italy is fortunate to have 60 UNESCO World Heritage sites out of 1,001 all over the world (in 161 countries). If you are curios, you can read the list here. Many graduates in Italy, just like me, have decided to be “ambassadors” of our beautiful country, and believe me, you never stop learning and studying!
