We live and breathe these places together with our local Italian family, and know them from the inside โ the way only those who truly call them home can.
Fully personalized
Every tour is built around you โ your pace, your interests, your food, your needs. No “one route fits all” โ every experience is shaped around the people taking part.
Personal & caring
At your pace โ no pressure, no “tourist” feeling, but like family or a good friend. You can always write, before arrival and after the day ends.
Authentic places
Real corners you won’t find in guidebooks โ restaurants, wineries and people who love what they do.
We save you time and money
Instead of hours of planning, complex logistics and rules you don’t know โ or the risk of spending a lot on tourist-trap attractions and restaurants that don’t match your expectations or budget โ we take care of every detail, so you can simply enjoy the day.
Photos to remember
During the tour I capture special moments for you โ landscapes, smiles, magical corners โ and send the photos after the day. No extra cost, just ask in advance.
๐ We don’t do large groups
We don’t do large groups โ one of our goals is to give you the personal attention you need when you’re away from home and want to feel at home. Private, fully customized tours and day trips in various languages including English โ with direct personal care from Anastasia, based on availability.

Nice to meet you, I’m Anastasia โ your English-speaking local in Florence
Born in Kiev to a Jewish family with deep generational roots โ people who had to hide their identity for years, but never let it go. As soon as it became possible, my family founded the first Jewish school in Kiev. Soon after, they fulfilled their lifelong dream of moving to Israel โ where the very first thing they did was their chuppah.
I grew up, lived and studied in Israel. Then I came to Italy for a year. And I stayed. For over 20 years now I’ve been living here in Tuscany, and together with my husband we created a Jewish home for our kids โ a real Israeli-Italian family.
Thanks to this story, I understand both worlds โ the culture, the language, the flavors, and what matters to international travelers coming to Italy. I know what will make you feel at home, and what you absolutely shouldn’t miss.
With us you’re not “tourists” โ you’re our guests. I and a small, dedicated team welcome you like friends, not like clients.
This project was born from my desire to turn an everyday dream โ Florence and Tuscany, landscapes, good food and people โ into a profession. After years of training and experience, today I live this dream anew with every tour, combining knowledge, stories, attention to each person in the group, laughter and small moments of happiness.
