Elena Saltini
Florence

Meet Elena!

Hello! My name is Elena and I’m a licensed tour guide in Florence.

I was born and raised in Pistoia – a lovely medieval town in Tuscany. I consider myself to be very luck since I’m doing the perfect job to combine my passion for foreign languages with my love for art, history, food and local traditions. After getting a degree in foreign languages at the University of Florence (that’s why, besides Italian, I can speak English, Spanish and German), I became a tour guide – to share my knowledge with visitors and lead them to explore my city’s gems.

In my free time I enjoy travelling, teaching foreign languages lessons, playing sports, spending some time with my family and friends.

Can’t wait to meet you and lead you through my gorgeous city!
