Wonderful tour! - Alessandro was such a wonderful tour guide! Being local he was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about Florence. He was flexible and showed us the things we were most interested in and gave us so much historical info which we loved. We felt like we were exploring Florence with an old friend!

This is the guide you need and want - Miguel or Michell was a great tour guide I love that he gave us history and details about items and things around Florence that we didn't know. The fact that he took his time with us I was very patient one of my relatives is very old and she wants to raise slow and I love the fact that he really just took the time to make all of us feel like family truly appreciate his time and I would definitely use him again as a tour guide and would definitely recommend them to someone else. Couple of the things that I really appreciated was that he took the time to take us to places that honestly were like one of those like you know places that are really known only if you are a local I like the fact that we came out of this experience feeling like we understood Florence so much better. And I want to thank him because he took the time out to help us out to figure out where we needed to be since we had to be at a certain location and again time from his from his own self and again truly thank him again and would recommend him.

Florence highlights - We booked the 2 hour private tour with a local guide. I highly recommend this tour. Our guide Mara with "City Unscripted" was very knowledgeable and took us to areas of Florence that we would not have ventured to on our own. She made recommendations for things for us to do on our own and places to eat that were not in touristy part of Florence.

12/10 - Mara is the best guide ever for food and wine in Florence! You can do no better. She’s kind, smart, attentive, funny; she’s the best.

Excellent guide - Michele was an excellent guide. We were able to see everything we wanted in 4 hours. His recommendations for food were spot on. He was waiting on us in our hotel lobby prior to the start time. I would 100% use him again and I’ll be recommending him to my friends.

Fabulous Florence tour with Martina - Martina was amazing! She met us at our hotel and gave us a tour of a bunch of different neighborhoods in Florence, sharing the history of the churches and landmarks we passed and pointing out details in the art and architecture that we wouldn't have noticed on our own. It was so nice to be able to go at our own pace - we're fast walkers and city people, but we had spent most of the week on group tours, slowly moving with a large crowd and not seeing as much as we'd like to see. Martina knew the city so well, and we really felt that she gave us some unique insight into what life is like for locals. She recommended some great places to visit and eat! Would definitely recommend a tour with her to friends and family.

Great Orientation to Florence! - My husband and I had a great tour with Mara! We took the 2 hour tour and it was just enough time to give us a great overview of Florence and help us determine what we wanted to do during our stay. She was nice enough to take some pictures for us and give us historical knowledge of the different neighborhoods and places. Great value for the tour and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.

A perfect overview of Firenze - Jacopo was a great guide showing and explaining all the key highlights of Firenze. We received just the right amount of information and history. Sometimes guides can be overwhelming with information which you cannot possibly retain.
