Лариса Звершховская
Official Russian/Italian Tourist Guide

Hi! my name is Larissa Zverchkhovskaia.
I am an official tourist guide, in Italian and Russian, my mother language, for all the beautiful provinces of Tuscany: Florence, Siena, Lucca , Pisa and all the others!
My friend Stefano, as a pure Florentine, would say ” But what are you saying? Florence and Siena are simply the most beautiful provinces of the world”. As there is so much to see and do, it took me some time to realize it, but now I definitely agree with him. I still remember my first vision of Florence’s Duomo (The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore): we were riding on a Vespa 50 and I was sitting behind, all of a sudden, as we rounded the next corner, it stood in front of us in all its magnificence, I just fell in love with it !!! I now live in Florence since 1998 and my love for this city is still growing stronger every day.
In my web site you may read a lot of information and see photos about Florence, Siena and other Tuscan wonders, I hope you will find them usefull.
I can suggest any kind of tours or help you in planning your personal itineraries, no matter whether you are a first time or repeat visitor, I will try my best to make your visit interesting, educational, an unforgettable unique experience, a precious memory that will last a lifetime!
My tours include what’s world famous but also what’s usually Rarely Seen, often Missed but More than Worth Visiting. You will be also able to discover the secrets of Florentine artisans, goldsmiths, leather and mosaic craftsmen who will welcome us into their workshops, so typical of Florence, and explain the methods they use in making their precious products.
I prefer a relaxed, non-invasive style of tourism, respectful of the past history and present life. This is why I propose enjoyable slowly paced tours, for small groups, convinced that this is the best way to see and enjoy the beauty of the places we visit.
A different way of tourism, as less invasive as possible, in less crowded places, off the beaten paths, with delicious stops to taste the extraordinary wines and food of the world wide famous Tuscan cuisine.
If you hire me I will be more than happy to tell you all about the history, the traditions, the people and their customs, and guide you through these two marvelous territories. Heading down from Florence to Siena we will drive through Chianti and Val d’Orcia and come upon a lot of minor but very famous cities like San Gimignano, Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano and also an incredible number of well hidden treasures, not to mention the food and the wine that go hand in hand with them!
In collaborations with other professionals I can also organize several activities, like cooking classes, lunch & dinners in special locations like castles and villas, cars and bikes tours and events such as wedding and anniversaries.
I’m looking forward to be your personal guide!
