  "Having visited Florence with my wife and 3 friends, we decided that the best way my to start was with a walking tour. We booked online and met Camilla at our start point of a 2 hour tour. The tour was packed full of great information and historical facts and Camilla did a wonderful job of keeping a large group entertained for the full 2 hours. We would have no hesitation in recommending her services and her knowledge about Florence to anyone. Thank you Camilla"

  my friend and i went on a morning tour of florence with camilla on our first full day in the city, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction!! from the very beginning, camilla was warm, kind, and clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about florence’s history (with the added depth of her experience as an art historian and florence local). she walked us through a cohesive and engaging story of florence from the medieval ages to the renaissance era including several notable medici family members, and offered several different perspectives throughout the tour (from the sacred/religious in the medieval, to the scientific/monetary in the renaissance). we especially loved her female-centered review of influential characters (shoutout to flora, eleonora, and ana maria)! i started taking notes on my phone because i didn’t want to forget the connections she drew!! i can’t recommend her enough :) in the end, she also answered questions with patience and sent us recommendations via whatsapp. grazie mille, camilla!! ????

  I enjoyed very much Camilla’s guided tour today in Florence. A lesson of history narrated with passion and sensitivity, which transposed me 500-800 years back in time and seated ideally the scene for my personal deep diving 3 days trip into renaissance era and the masterpieces of its immortal representatives. I warmly recommend.

The essence of Florence with Camilla an alternative tour about the hidden gems of Florence

Discover “The Essence of Florence” with Camilla, your passionate guide, ready to take you beyond the usual tourist routes and give you an authentic and unforgettable experience, through an alternative view on the city that reveals its hidden treasures, giving a unique and fascinating experience in beautiful Florence. The essence of Florence with Camilla, an alternative tour about the hidden gems of Florence offers you the opportunity to explore the city’s best kept secrets. As we stroll through narrow alleys and lesser-known neighborhoods, I will reveal fascinating stories and anecdotes that only true Florentines know. This is a tour I have personally created as I felt the need to share with you travellers, more than what people come here for: the Renaissance.

Well, Florence is so much more: together we will discover picturesque corners, artisan workshops where time seems to stand still and secret gardens where the friars and the monks used to make their medicines 800 years ago. We will smell incredible essences coming from past times, we will enter medieval churches with ornate chapels and dark crips and we will make Gregorian meditations surrounded by their silence. My goal is to make you feel Florence through the five senses: eating, touching, smelling, seeing and listening. Florence’s history comes alive through its lesser-known monuments, hidden churches and museums off the main tourist routes. Join me to discover the essence of Florence with Camilla, an alternative tour about the hidden gems of Florence and be enchanted by the beauty and timeless charm of this wonderful city. I look forward to sharing together a unique and authentic experience that will make you fall even more in love with Florence.
