Travel in Style with Purpose
Tour Guide and CEO of
Florence Connection
I’m Heliana Vogli, a professional Tour Guide and founder of a boutique limo car service in Florence, Tuscany. For over 23 years, I’ve been designing meaningful, immersive travel experiences that go beyond sightseeing—connecting visitors with local culture, people, and traditions.
Travel is constantly evolving and l’m sure that with the right guidance, it can be a force for good—supporting communities, preserving authenticity, and creating real human connections. But without care, it can contribute to over-tourism and strip places of their soul.
That’s why I believe travel should always be intentional—crafted with purpose, emotion, and respect. When you have someone by your side who knows the land, the people, and the story behind every stop, your journey becomes something truly unforgettable.
SERVICES
Private Walking Tours
Every tour is tailored to your pace and interests, whether it’s Renaissance art, hidden churches, or local legends. You’ll stroll Florence’s cobblestone streets and see the city through a local’s lens. Want something slower or faster? I’ll adjust the itinerary to suit your rhythm and curiosity.
Countryside Wine Tastings
Just outside the city, you’ll find rolling vineyards and family-run wineries offering unforgettable tastings. From Chianti to Super Tuscan blends, we’ll explore the region’s signature flavors. Let me know if you’d prefer a relaxed afternoon or a deeper dive into wine culture.
Hands-On Cooking Classes
Get inspired in an authentic kitchen, surrounded by olive trees and Tuscan views. Together with local chefs, you’ll prepare regional favorites like handmade pasta or tiramisù. If you’re looking for something more advanced or vegetarian-focused, we can personalise the menu.
Scenic Day Trips
Beyond Florence lies a world of enchanting villages, hilltop castles, and open countryside. Whether you’re dreaming of San Gimignano or Montepulciano, I’ll plan your perfect escape. We can include food stops, artisan visits, or photo ops—just tell me what calls to you.
