Florence - Even with the 100 degree temperature, Irina was an amazing, knowledgeable guide. The Pharmacy and the small, unusual details along the streets and in the squares were things we would have never known about unless we had taken this tour with Irina.

Captivating Private Historical Walking Tour of Florence - Last week, we had a wonderful private tour of Florence, Italy with Irena. Irena was a terrific guide. She presented detailed information about the history of Florence in an engaging manner. She used visuals on her tablet to supplement her stories and the result was a captivating three hour experience walking around Florence's main squares and buildings. I would highly recommend this tour.

The best decision we made for spending time in Florence. - Irina was an excellent guide and was able to convey the amazing history of Florence. We loved the tour and Florence and with her help able to continue to see the best of the city on our own. It was crowded and hot but she was able to navigate the city with the ease of a local resident.

Great overview of Florence, and Excellent Guide! - Irina was an excellent guide and provided a great overview of Florence. Even though it was raining, she made sure that we saw the highlights, and even found a cafe where our large family could stop for hot chocolate and wait out the rain. Irina did a great job of pointing out art, streets, and shops that we would have never noticed on our own. A highlight was the Perfumerie, and she also pointed out a great location that we returned to for dinner. Wonderful!

Wonderful walking tour - Irina is a super enthusiastic guide and managed to share the history and development of Florence in ways to bring in buildings and statues as we walked around. She was also very kind to find places for one of the group who had a leg injury to sit when she was talking about what was around her. Strongly recommend.

I really enjoyed my tour... - I really enjoyed my tour with Irena, she communicates pretty well prior to the tour about timing, place, etc. I fell in love with Florence because of this tour. Irena has a vast wealth of knowledge about the history of the city and Italy in General. She will take you to amusing places and explore hidden treasures. I have been on many historical tours in Italy and this was my favorite. You learn a lot in short time with an enjoyable company. Definitely worth it..
