When it's better to travel with a guide. . .
choosing the style you prefer
....when you want to get a lot without worring too much about details,
when you get tired of listening to audioguides telling everyone the same and not answering your questions,
when you feel willing to interact with a local, helping you optimize your time, smiling and understanding when you need a break
Hiring a guide you can get a classical touristic proposal,
but you can even let your private guide introduce you the history and the tradition of the tuscan territory her own way, dealing at the best she can with your interests , your available time and your budget.
A professional guide can offer you a full immersion in art in city museums, or rather guide you in pleasant walks in small villages full of history with relaxing breaks to taste local flavors in unformal but charming places.
A local guide can be available also before your arrival in Italy to provide you via zoom an introduction to local culture ; history ; italian language ( brief lessons, 1 hr aprox, for adults or for young students )
