YOU, ME, FLORENCE.
LET ME SHOW YOU THE CITY I LOVE.
Limited Dates for Dec 2026 - March 2027
I have spent years looking at Florence as an artist. I am interested in the things that are not necessarily in the guidebooks: shopfronts, signs, architecture, objects, colours, cars, food, people and the small details that make the city feel like itself.
Now you can spend a day - or two - with me, exploring the city of Florence through observation, conversation, drawing, great good and the places that have become part of my own relationship with Florence.
This is not a tour.
Each experience is only available in the late Autumn through Winter and early Spring. We do not have a fixed itinerary, it is a relaxed day together at our own pace.
The day, or two, is about seeing Florence — together.
HOW IT WORKS
Before we meet, I will talk to you about what interests you, what you may already seen in Florence and what you would like to get from the experience.
From there, I will put together a loose plan, leaving plenty of room for the day to take its own course.
I might introduce you to some of the people I've come to know, take you somewhere that means something to me, or show you details of the city that I think are easy to miss.
Importantly, you do not need to be an artist, and you do not need to know how to draw.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Breakfast - Coffee, pastries in Oltrarno.
A walk through the parts of Florence I return to again and again.
A look at Italian architecture and design on the streets and in stores.
Visiting a gallery, studio or exhibition.
If preferable, sketching or taking notes together.
Lunch - I can suggest, you choose.
Discussions about art, Italy, creativity, collecting, food, cars, people — or whatever the conversation happens to become.
Most importantly, I want the day to feel natural.
I want you to feel as though you've spent a day exploring Florence with a friend who happens to be an artist.

I take a maximum of two guests at any one time. That might be one person travelling alone, or a couple travelling together.
Two days are ideal if you would like more time in the city. We can have dinner at the end of the first day or second day, re-visit favourite locations, get immersed in a particular exhibition or delve deeper into the more local areas of the city.
The Price quoted will include my time, food and any entry tickets required. The cost of your travel and accommodation is not included, but I am happy to suggest places to stay. Due to logistics and the bespoke nature of each encounter, I cannot offer refunds and full payment is required at the time of booking. in the unlikely event I have to cancel, you will receive a full refund within 7 days of me informing of the cancellation.
