Dutch born, I lived in Haarlem until the age of 19, then I moved to Amsterdam to study art history. During my studies I did an Erasmus exchange program and studied in Florence for a few months. I graduated in 1997 in Amsterdam but I had fallen in love with Florence so I decided to come back in 2001 thanks to a research scholarship from the Dutch University Institute of Art in Florence. In 2005, I married a Florentine and started my tour guide career. I enjoy being an art historian and I believe that as a tour guide, one has to know less about art history, but much more about every aspect of this city such as gastronomy, fashion, and music. So combining the two professions is ideal! I love mixing art with other disciplines of culture and seeing people enjoy themselves. The walking tour combined with literature and Italian gastronomy is one of my favorites!

We had two three hour tours of Florence with Norie. She was a delightful person and very knowledgeable. Her English was excellent. We enjoyed spending time with her and learning about all the wonderful sights of Florence. I would highly recommend having a tour with Norie.

Norie was an outstanding person to spend the day with. Her knowledge of art and the museums we visited was incomparable. As someone who doesnt typically appreciate the arts, Norie was able to help turn my eye to the beauty and masters of the collections available in Florence. Her insight was incredible and her education truly allowed her to provide the best tour of such a rich city. Grazie Norie!

Dear Mr. Johnson, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a 'piacere' (as the Italians say) to meeting you and spending the day with you between the art in Florence. I hope you had a fantastic time in Italy and that I will be meeting you again. Grazie e arrivederci! Norie
