ITALY
Who visits us?
We help people who don’t want to organize things on their own. We serve people who need/want flexibility. We like people who are curious about art, history, food and wine. We enjoy people who want to know more than what can be found in a guide book. We love people who want to go more in-depth about art and history. We can help people who want to see something a bit out of the ordinary (not your cookie cutter tour). We serve people who want to travel privately or people who want to travel in a small group.
What to do here?
Florence tours: Elizabeth is not your normal guide and that’s what makes touring with her so memorable. She has studied art history at Smith College, has a masters from Syracuse University and worked in art restoration before giving it up to follow her passion. My Italian Treasures was born of her enthusiasm to share the beauty of her home, Florence Italy. But Elizabeth can also introduce you to the wonderful artistic creations located all over Italy - the monuments, the churches, the artists, and their secrets. Itinerary tours: Elizabeth boasts over 20 years of hands-on-experience guiding and organizing unique single and multiple-day programs and events throughout Italy. My Italian Treasures can arrange transport, accommodations, guides, and suggestions for experiences “off the beaten track”. Not just focusing on Florence and Tuscany, we can design itineraries in all the major art cities and many other destinations throughout the peninsula.

Our Story
My Italian Treasures
My Italian Treasures is an outpouring of years of living in Italy, of academic studies of art and history, of savoring and discerning culinary traditions and wine, of admiration hiking the majestic mountains and the sweet rolling hills, of swimming in the crystal clear turquoise blue waters, of trying to understanding the cultural nuances and the linguistic play of words. Italians are resilient and optimistic by nature. Now more than ever, we celebrate an Italy that somehow always arises from confusion and chaos to remind us to enjoy the simple things in life. We are waiting to share our Italy with YOU.
Of course I can't do it all by myself. Over the years I have garnished a great support team, selecting collaborators that reflect my philosophy of travel and who go the extra steps to ensure top quality experiences. In addition to all the necessary professional licensing credentials in their area of specialty, my chosen collaborators are also art historians, archeologists, painting conservators, translators, writers, graphic designers, sommeliers, chefs and cooks, cyclists, skippers, yogis, parents, fashion designers, painters, interior decorators and jewellery designers. Like me, everyone is very passionate about what they do and enjoy nothing more than sharing their own love of Italy with others.
