"I highly recommend this gift to yourself!!"

An afternoon with Lisa is a perfect blend of Florence, Food, Fashion and Friendship! I couldn't have enjoyed it more and it resulted in a deep love for Florence (and Lisa)! Lisa does a great job personalizing the experience to match your interests and tastes and at the same time giving you secret morsels of history along the way.
