Hello, This Is Florence

Eszter Kiss – Tour Guide

Life brought me to Florence a few years ago, where I still live with my Italian husband and our adorable little son. I’ve always felt that it would be selfish to keep all the wonders, discoveries, and experiences I’ve had here to myself. That’s how I became a tour guide, with the mission of making my guests’ Tuscan excursions a lifelong memory.

Florence

About 15 million people are curious to see Florence each year. Visitors from all over the world come to witness iconic landmarks like Brunelleschi’s dome or the Gates of Paradise, which Ghiberti worked on for over 20 years. The Medici family’s fame spread far and wide; they made their city strong, wealthy, and renowned by supporting young sculptors, painters, and architects. This is how Florence became synonymous with art and the Renaissance.
The Uffizi Gallery still houses some of the most famous works in art history, such as Michelangelo’s only painting, Leonardo da Vinci’s early but visionary creations, Raphael’s beautiful figures, Botticelli’s Venus and Madonnas, and Caravaggio’s Medusa, capturing the moment between life and death.
An immeasurable wealth of art in a single city.

Tuscany

Florence’s artistic, cultural, and historical heritage undeniably makes it the most visited city in the region. However, smaller, calmer, yet remarkably rich towns are becoming increasingly popular destinations. Siena’s cathedral stood tall even when the people of Florence were just planning theirs. The Palio, the heart and soul of the city, is far more than a horse race and certainly not just an event for tourists.

Lucca’s city walls conceal an almost untouched, wealthy town filled with legends, anecdotes, and spirits that still tell their tales in the narrow streets — even stories about the city’s native son, Puccini. The unique liqueur made from an original recipe is sold in only one place, and visitors should not miss tasting the sweet bread reminiscent of the city’s ancient Roman era.

The Silver Altar of Pistoia was crafted by the greatest goldsmiths, leaving an invaluable treasure for the city. Pilgrimage routes crossed the town, leading to countless churches, some of which still testify to its golden age.

San Gimignano is often called the “Medieval Manhattan,” as several of its towers still stand today, once symbols of the residents’ wealth and power.

Vinci is inseparable from the name of one of the most famous Renaissance figures. On his native soil, Leonardo inherited something that shaped his thinking and values for life. That’s why it’s worth visiting his birthplace and the museum named after him.

My Tours

Amazing!

Eszter was amazing. She went above and beyond to get to know us and what we were intereseted in and did the best to tailor the tour to what we wanted to see and do. I highly recommend raking a tour with Eszter if you have the opportunity.

We had the greatest time!

We had the greatest time touring Florence with Eszter! She was incredibly knowladgeable and asked us at the beginning what our interests were so that she cater the tour towards us. If we had more time we would have booked more days with her!

4 hours went so quickly

We had a wonderful morning with Eszter – she was very accomodating and met us early. With just my husband and I on the tour Eszter tailor made the tour to suit- including a few less touristy sights as requested. She was a great story teller and brought to life the history of Florence – just the right amount of humor mixed with many historical facts which we loved. An easy way to spend the morning and 4 hours went so quickly. We also got to enjoy a quiet coffee with a fantastic view, try a few delicious Italian specialities and learn a lot about Florence.

I would definitly recommend her services.

It was such a special treat spending the day with Eszter! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the histroy and traditions of Florence. Because it was just me, she curated a special experience based on the things that interested me most. We even visited one of the remaining shops near the Ponte Veccio that still produces their own jewerly and I found some beautiful earrings. She is very friendly and charming and I would definitly recommend her services to anyone looking for a good tour of Florence!

Eszter took us on a beautiful walk…

“Eszter took us on a beautiful walk through the streets of Florence. Her rich knowledge of the beautiful history of Florence, her storytelling, and her laid back pace, made enjoying this city, so densly packed with stories, so much more enjoyable. She was absolutely amazing. Generally a great day really well spent.”
