Barbara Lafratta is a local tour guide in Florence, Italy offering private tours and excursions

A bit about myself: 32, born and raised in Florence: 100% Italian but a global trotter. I love art, painting, photography and travelling. I have been working in Tourism for about 10 years, since I graduated in Tourism Management at the University of Florence. My passion for foreign languages and travel led me to choose the job of tour leader, accompanying travelers from all over the world throughout Tuscany and the most famous cities of Italy. In 2013, after a course in History of Art I became an Official Local Guide of Florence, and since then I am working as free lancer offering tailor made tours for English, Spanish and Portuguese speaking travelers. During my academic career I lived long periods in England, Germany, Chile and Brazil for exchange projects, getting fluent in foreign languages and in touch with different cultures, two of the reasons that made me choose this job! It is a seasonal job, so in the winter, you probably find me travelling to a warm place or enjoying the Dolce Vita in Tuscany: painting, reading and taking care of the family\\\'s bed&breakfast (B&B FLO). My job is to take care of you and show you the secrets and highlight of this magnificent city!
