Daniela Carboni
Hi, I am Daniela. Nice to meet you! I will now introduce myself. I am a foreign languages major, I work, both, as part time teacher, and tour guide in Tuscany and Florence. I find what the city of Florence and the region all has to offer to be unique, above all the great masterpieces such as Leonardo’s and Michelangelo’s. I am so blessed!
I have always been interested in art, and every day I go on learning more of the beautiful art all around me. Studying art never really ends, you keep on learning and being surprised, amazed of what you discover, I love it!
Art is not the only passion I have. My other passions are gardening, dogs and…cakes!
Giovanna Liberotti
Hi everybody! I am Giovanna, a fully licensed tour guide and archaeologist with wide experience abroad. I have a PhD in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and I worked in many archaeological sites around the world. In Florence, my humanities background and my knowledge of classical art made me able to communicate cultural information in a very passionate way. I love showing museums of art and archaeology but also walking through the city admiring churches, old buildings and relevant houses.
I am a very flexible person if schedules may have to change and I will be more than happy to customize a tour that suits your needs.
