Florentia... Florens...... Firenze............ Florence!
The civilization of art and architecture are synonymous with Florence - the city whose more than 2500 years of history have contributed to the greater part of Western European culture.
Florence is civiltà - civilization. Unravel its mysteries with Florence Art Guide, Eugene Martinez.
Eugene is a a licensed Art Guide of Florence and its Environs with a degree in art history and graphic design from New York University. A native of New York city, he has been in Tuscany since 1982.

Eugene has two passions: Florence and sharing his love and intimate knowledge of this place with visitors who come from near and far to discover its secrets.
Let Eugene accompany you on a walking tour of Florence's historic center and learn why people have been traveling from afar for so many centuries just to bask in its civiltà. Or visit the city's many incredible museums - but don't just visit them, learn from them! Eugene puts the art on the walls into the context in which it was created. Your experience will be meaningful as you come to know the artists, their personal lives, the patrons who hired them and the world in which they lived. Visit Florence's medieval churches filled with sculptures and frescoes that changed the way we think of visual reality, and learn how these churches were remodelled and modified through the ages to adapt to changes in political and religious life. Walk through the monumental gardens of Boboli and Bardini to see how nature was groomed and modelled to reflect the Florentines evolving concept of Leisure!
Florence holds so many secrets, so many hidden treasures and the stories of so many generations of real lives - real people whose creativity and lust for life produced some of the greatest art in the world. Come, let Eugene turn your visit to Florence into an experience that will enrich your life forever.
All tours are private - Eugene gives you 100% of his attention, 100% of the time. All tours can be fully personalized to focus on whatever your particular areas of interest are, be they a specific artist or architect, period in history, genre.
Need a break from the city and its cultural overload? Tour the florentine countryside and discover the food, wine and crafts and gorgeous scenery of Tuscany. Visit the home town of Leonardo da Vinci and see the landscapes he reproduced throughout his life in his paintings, then walk through the halls of a Medici Villa. Or ride through the hills of Chianti, covered with vinyards and olive groves and dotted with castles and villas! Explore the medieval country churches and abbeys, seats of power during the middle ages, and climb the ramparts of a fortified village! Or... live Tuscany in all its facets with the 'Total Tuscan Civiltà Experience' - the marriage of art, food, history and wine along with Chef Antonio Alfani. Eugene and Antonio will fill your day with art, food, history, folklore and nature - a day you will never forget.
