Intimate, Knowledgeable and Welcoming - Manuel knew the best paths to take when walking us around the city. He referenced entering “Diagon Alley” and he wasn’t wrong. By taking us down lesser known, less crowded streets, we were able to take in a much different and intimate perspective of Florence. Also, my partner showed up a little late and Manuel was very helpful in coordinating between him and I so that he could find us on the tour. I’m this extremely crowded city, Manuel was able to help my partner find out small group of four. AMAZING!

Great Florence tour - It was an awesome tour. The guide explained well, told us stories/history of the past and highlighted places that we should know. He was very conscious of the extreme heat during the tour and provided shade where possible. My family and I enjoyed the tour immensely. Thank you.

Friendly guide with lots of insight into Florence! - Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure to keep us in the shade as much as possible! Would definitely recommend, especially if you have an interest in the Medici family’s physical traces in the old town.

Thank you Martina! - Martina is an incredibly kind and knowledgable tour guide. She communicated the meeting time very clearly, had an engaging way of sharing lots of info (Florence has a long history!), and was very keen to share her secret recommendations.

Fabulous Insight! - What an absolute wealth of information Camilla is!! She is so knowledgeable and personable she made this tour extremely delightful. She does art restoration herself and she approachedo each piece as if it were her own. Plus, she knew all the history about the palace and beyond and constantly encouraged questions. She knew short cuts to the top of Bobili Gardens to keep us out of the hot sun and took us to all the best viewpoints. This was a remarkable tour.

Truly sublime experience in Florence - Manuel was an excellent tour guide. He made our tour a walk through the history of Florence and added a touch of showmanship to make it really special. It might sound silly, but it made my next few days wandering around Florence much more enjoyable. I would see constant evidence of the history that he explained to us. Having gone on many guided tours, I cannot recommend this two or more.
