About me, Claudia

claudia vannucci tour guide in florence

Hi, and welcome on The Florence Insider! My name is Claudia Vannucci, I am a native Tuscan and a licensed Florence tour guide with 10 years of experience, living and loving Florence as much as I can.

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:
