Florence Travel Planning Services

Are you planning a trip to Florence, Italy or maybe exploring Tuscany, but not sure exactly where to start?
Maybe you’ve already saved a list of restaurants, wineries, or museums, but you’re wondering which ones are actually worth your time, or even still open.

If you’ve ever wished for an insider’s opinion to make your Florence itinerary unforgettable, you’re in the right place.


Why Book a Personalized Florence Itinerary?

I’ve lived in Florence for over 15 years and started Girl in Florence to share real tips on what makes this city so special. Think hidden rooftop bars, artisan workshops, vineyards in Chianti, the best negroni in town, and cultural gems beyond the Uffizi.

Florence is a city that rewards curiosity, but the internet can feel overwhelming with endless “top 10” lists that aren’t always up to date. Booking a travel consultation with me means:

  • You get recommendations that match your interests instead of generic guides

  • I help you skip the tourist traps and focus on authentic experiences and supporting local businesses and artisans

  • You leave with a curated plan that blends food, art, culture, and a little bit of slow travel magic


What You’ll Get in a Travel Consultation

Here’s a taste of what’s included, depending on the package you choose:

  • Honest, insider feedback on your existing itinerary

  • Customized suggestions for restaurants, wine bars, artisan shops, museums, day trips, and more

  • Guidance on where to stay and how to make your trip family-friendly if you’re traveling with kids

  • A personalized Google Map with pinned recommendations

  • A follow-up email with extra notes and resources

  • Practical tips on transportation, timing, and booking


Pricing and Packages

  • 30-Minute Florence Itinerary Review – €150
    A casual Google Meet chat where we go through your plans together. You’ll walk away with clear feedback and new ideas to make your trip more memorable. We can bounce ideas off one another and you will receive a follow up email. 

  • 1-Hour In-Depth Consultation – €350
    A deeper dive into your itinerary with insider tips, a personalized Google Map with all of the pins, and a follow-up email with extra recommendations (plus a few secret spots I usually keep off the blog).


How to Book Your Florence Travel Planning Call

To book, just send me an email with:

  • Your travel dates

  • Number of people traveling

  • The things you’re most interested in (food, art, wine, shopping, family-friendly activities, etc.)

  • Any special requests

I’ll get back to you quickly so we can set up a time.

✨ Fun fact: I also lived in Switzerland for three years, in Zug just outside Zurich. If your trip includes Switzerland, I can share tips for combining Florence with Swiss adventures.


Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best way to plan a trip to Florence?
A custom consultation gives you recommendations that match your style of travel, plus insider knowledge that guidebooks and AI can’t really provide. There is so much information online and tiktok experts but rarely do those people have a true expert knowledge based on facts. If you’re looking for something more slow, sustainable and fun, I am your girl. 

Can you help with Tuscany day trips too?
Absolutely. From Chianti wineries to Siena, San Gimignano, or Pisa, I can suggest routes, drivers, and a few hidden stops along the way.

How do I book a consultation?
Just email me here with your travel details. I’ll confirm availability and share next steps.

Do you only cover Florence?
Florence is my specialty, but I also advise on Tuscany, Liguria and Switzerland near Zurich/Zug.
