About me
About me, Claudia
Hi, and welcome on The Florence Insider! My name is Claudia Vannucci, I am a native Tuscan and a licensed Florence tour guide with more than 10 years of experience, living and loving Florence as much as I can.
Tour guide is my full time job since 2013. I took my tour guide license here in Florence: that mean that I attended a special school and gave a final exam about the art and history of Florence.
I have a masters degree in architecture, and my studies were focused on history of architecture and history of gardens. I always loved history, art and travels, so seemed natural to me to become a qualified tour guide of my city and put together all those elements in my job.
I am a cemetery lover, and I am giving guided tours of the historic cemeteries of Florence.
I also love traveling and I think it’s great being able to experience both sides of tourism, as a tour guide and as a traveller! I am naturally curious and nerdy so I learn new things all the time both from my job and travels.
I have been mentioned on:
Lonely Planet Florence & Tuscany (2023)
Fodor’s Travel article about the Pazzi Conspiracy
What can I do for you?
- As a licensed and experienced tour guide I can give guided tours of the museums of the city, as well as walking tours (and cemeteries of course). Here you can find a list of my private guided tours in Florence.
- I can help you with the reservations of museums, transportation, accommodation, restaurants, etc.
About the Florence Insider
I created the Florence Insider as an authentic and personal window on Florence. I am here to share with you my best tips and my knowledge about Florence, to show you the very best of my city and to help you planning the best tuscan trip ever.
On the Florence Insider you will find posts about food, places, museums, hotels, touristic services and much more in town, plus a bit of stuff about the surroundings as well (yes, Chianti is always a good idea). And you can book me as a Florence tour guide too!
