Your Local Guide, Your Private Tour

Hi, I’m Valentina! I’m a licensed tour guide based in Livorno, and I’ve been welcoming travelers to Florence, Pisa and Tuscany since 2007.

Whether you’re arriving on a cruise or staying nearby, I’d love to show you around. From Florence’s famous sights and Pisa’s Leaning Tower to Livorno’s canals and lively Central Market, we’ll plan a private tour around what you enjoy.

For shore excursions from Livorno, I can arrange a private minivan with a professional driver, with an itinerary that fits your ship’s schedule. You’ll be in touch with me directly, so we can work out the details together.

A little about me

Art, history, good food and a great glass of wine, these are some of my favorite things, and I love sharing them with my guests.

For me, discovering Tuscany means enjoying its famous sights and getting a taste of everyday life: exploring a lively market, trying a local specialty and hearing the stories behind traditions that are still part of life here.

That’s the feeling I bring to my tours: a warm welcome, stories worth sharing and time to enjoy the places we visit. Whether we’re wandering through Florence, exploring Pisa or tasting our way around Livorno, I want you to feel like you’re out with a local friend.

Come explore with me!
