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.

A walking tour to remember! - Chiara was a fabulous guide, very personable and knowledgeable. She brought Renaissance Florence to life. The hidden gems were the highlight. Thank you Chiara for a wonderful tour and for the restaurant and gelateria recommendations. I would thoroughly recommend this sightseeing activity.

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 !

Amazing!!! - Martina provided a tour of Florence that was completely customized to our interests. Her knowledge of city history and passion for storytelling made the city come alive for us. We got to visit some artisans working in their shops, which is something we would have never found in our own. You cannot go wrong booking Martina.

A great way to start our visit to Florence! - We met Maja at the agreed meeting point spot on time. During the following 3 hours Maja gave us a fascinating insight into the history and culture of Florence as we walked through the city. We would highly recommend others to follow in our footsteps.

Brilliant introduction to Florence - Having a 3 hour private tour on our first morning was such a brilliant way to be introduced to Florence. Matteo was great, so friendly and informative showing and telling us about such a wide variety of topics from the birth of the city and it's evolution through time, to the best places to eat and drink, and a raft of sightseeing and experience recommendations for the rest of our trip. We all thoroughly enjoyed every minute, and truly felt we discovered hidden gems that we'd otherwise have not come across

Meet Florence! - First of all, our train to Florence was delayed, and our guide, Giulia, could not have been more accommodating. We met upon our arrival, and had the most magnificent walk around the old city. Giulia was knowledgeable, engaging and a wonderful storyteller. In a very short time, we felt we got a perfect orientation to the city. AND gelato!!! It’s was, for us, the perfect introduction to Florence.

Unique Florence walking tour - Sometimes you meet someone with incredibly positive energy and enthusiasm who has the gift to makes you feel like a long lost friend. This is Zeynep! From the moment she met us at a convenient meeting point, she exuded the kind of warm vibe that makes you want to spend hours with her. Zeynep showed us Florence through her eyes with enough nuance and creativity to make it “not just another walking tour.” She took us to places that were more locally known (example, her favorite gelato store), mentioned some cute clothing stores we passed (which I visited myself later that day) and gave us a taste of the usual sites along with the not so usual (example: a bookstore/theater, the Jewish ghetto /synagogue). She also gave us a lot of invaluable advice about what we could do on our own, where to eat, and interesting museums off the beaten path. By the end, not only did we feel like we had gotten to know Florence on a more intimate level, but we truly felt as if we had made a new friend. This woman is so incredible. I had to give her a hug goodbye at the end.

Very informative - Federica was very informative and knew a lot of history of Florence. Also she was sincere the whole time with us. We had a baby that couldn’t sleep and she accommodate us when needed. Not to forget she shared with us a list of good gelato to have in town. Thank you
