Delightful time in Florence - My wife and I met up with Maja in the morning at a square and strolled around Florence like friends on a walk. We had specified we did not need her to guide us thru museums and such, just the streets and the history. The morning was a delight and Maja was open to any possibility.

He guided us through Florence’s enchanting streets, revealing hidden gems and immersing us in the city’s rich culture. Mateo’s passion for Florence was infectious—he gave us fantastic food recommendations, must-visit spots, and insider tips on where to shop like a local. His knowledge and enthusiasm made us feel like we were discovering the heart of Florence alongside a friend. Mateo is a gem himself, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Exceptional - This was our first withlocals tour and we were blessed to have the inestimable Matteo as our guide. He showed us the well known & lesser known gems of Florence, interspersed with fascinating historical (Game of Thrones are amateurs!) & personal stories, all weaving Florentine history together. There were so many highlights - a few would be Michelangelo’s crucifixion made when he was only 17yo, that art & politics are not separate (we see the Piazza della signoria with new eyes), and Matteo himself. Excellent recommendations for coffee, an enoteca, and an aperitivo were acted upon. We cannot recommend the knowledgeable, friendly & personable Matteo enough - if you were at a dinner party, you would want to be sat beside Matteo.

The beating heart of Florence - Michele was Amazing! We cannot praise him enough for his incredible personalised tour of Florence. Through the eyes of this knowledgeable and delightfully friendly local expert, we experienced many of the famous historical sights that depict the splendour of this beautiful city. But perhaps best of all, we were treated to a heartwarming sense of the real essence of Florence through its local people and its lesser visited places, where local culture abounds. Thank you Michele for memories that will last a lifetime!

Fantastic tour with Virginia - Virginia was a fabulous guide. Super knowledgeable about the architecture and history of the main attractions. But she also added bits of insight into art and it’s development within the context of an evolving Florence. Lots of hidden gems along the way and very good recommendations for restaurants and gelateria off the tourist track.

Art, history, food and shopping - my ideal tour! - I loved my tour with Virginia. Saw so much which was fascinating and beautiful in just a few hours and felt I was understanding what I saw. Virginia really gauged my interests and tailored the tour accordingly. She has a wonderful wealth of interesting history and art insight which she explains in a light, engaging way as well as great recommendations for the true Florence artisans.

Fantastic Two Hour Tour - We did the 2 hour tour, Maria was excellent and gave us the perfect overview of Florence. I have no doubt we would have missed sights if we went about the city in our own. She also pointed out some great places to eat and shop. Maria was a wealth of info and a lovely person !
