Fantastic Florence, Inspirational Irina! - Irina is simply the best! My wife and myself were lucky enough to have done another tour of the Uffizi with her 6 years ago which we still talk about today. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and passion for Florence inspired us to make another trip and we couldn’t come without trying another tour. This time a private tour which was worth every cent. So much more intimate. Irina took special care of us to make sure we had the best experience possible, taking her time to explain the history of Florence and answer any questions we had. Her knowledge is incredible. We got all the best view points of the major sites but also were shown more intricate secret details and places of Florence which would otherwise be missed and are so much fun. Our understanding of this beautiful city has grown because of Irina and we will be making another trip back! Don’t hesitate, just book in a tour with her! Fantastic. Thank you so much.

Amo Firenze! - This is the second tour we have done with Irina. The first one we did was the Uffizi 6 years ago and we loved how passionate Irina was. Once we knew we were coming back to Florence we looked Irina up again. We had the most incredible few hours walking with Irina. She has an incredible way of sharing the history of Florence. She is passionate and fun and has plenty of recommendations for where to eat as well! Irina has inspired us to come back to Florence again! Could not recommend Irina highly enough!

One of the best tours in Italy! - We had a fabulous time and Irina was the BEST host a detour guide. She showed us everything expected and discussed in detail information regarding all the exhibits (but not too much). She also recommended “real” gelato and gave us time to purchase some!

Amazing Private Tour of David and Florence! - There aren’t enough positive things to say about Irina! She was immensely knowledgeable about art, history of Florence and made multiple recommendations which we took her up on! It was amazing and I cannot possibly summarize the experience in a post other than to say - worth it and so much more! She was an absolute delight and her love of the city is so apparent!
