About this tour...
Palazzo Vecchio is one of the most beautiful and important symbols of Florence, built at the beginning of the fourteenth century to house the city’s supreme governing body. During the centuries it has been subject to numerous extensions and transformations.
In the 1500’s Cosimo I de’ Medici appointed the architect Vasari to transform it into a splendid palace for the grand-ducal family.
During our visit, we will admire the elegant courtyard by Michelozzo, the famous “Hall of the 500”, the beautiful private apartments of Eleonora of Toledo, and an incredible series of frescoes, paintings, decorations, and statues by some of the most recognized Renaissance artists like Michelangelo, Donatello, Vasari, Ghirlandaio, and Bronzino.

Buongiorno!!! I was born with an innate love for art and history. As a little girl, I adored looking at the many art books my grandfather owned and dreamt of being in those places. After finishing high school I wanted to follow my passion of studying fine arts and I became a textile designer. My life journey led me to Florence, Italy, where I went to study the beautiful Italian language. Spending time in Florence, learning the language, the culture, the people, the customs, the history, the fashion all made me fall in love with Florence and Italy. Like they say " I left my heart in Florence" ❣
While I was there I found the Italian culture to be very similar to the culture of my own country, Bulgaria. That helped me make my final decision to stay in Florence to continue my exploration of all that is Italian.
I was privileged to be employed by well-known designer houses in Florence. While working in the fashion industry I never forgot my passion for the fine arts. During my free time, I loved to explore the rich Italian history and architecture. I loved walking the beautiful narrow streets of Florence with my Cavalier King dog - Junior. We both admired the breathtaking architecture around the city on both sides of the Arno River. I love architecture, it stimulates my hungry brain and is food for my soul. On those walks, I started learning and researching the unique and diverse collection of architectural buildings in Florence. All that beauty led me to further educate myself to become a professional tourist guide. I am extremely happy that my work incorporates the things I love the most: art, history, and fashion.
It is my pleasure to create tours that will create unforgettable moments for you during your visit in beautiful Florence and to share this city with you during your stay!! I am looking forward to your call! Ciao and buona giornata!
