Private tour with Anna - Anna was a very knowledgeable and fun guide. We enjoyed our tour through Florence as she explained the sites in great detail while also showing us other places that we could explore and still enjoy ourselves apart from the tour . Anna made sure to tailor it to our preferences . She gets a 10/10 and we would highly recommend a tour through Florence with her.

Wonderful Private Walking Tour with Michele - Michele was excellent. He was very friendly and spoke excellent English and helped us with our Italian. It was a great way to start our trip as it gave us an excellent sense for the city and gave us ideas for additional palaces, churches and museums to visit on our vacation. It was well worth it.

Informative tour around Florence. - Our guide was quite interesting and knowledgeable about the city and the locations we visited. Because it was a private tour, we were able to visit parts of the city not listed on the tour description. It is a bit pricey, but we're not sorry to have done the tour.
