Excellent - Excellent tour. A lot of history so maybe not great for young kids. Irina had photos on an iPad that helped us visualize the people she was talking about. The Medici family has so much history and she did a great job explaining it in a short amount of time.

Irina is a fabulous tour guide and storyteller! Lucky to get her - Irina is a great storyteller. Extremely personable, knowledgable and professional. I cant imagine a better tour guide to make the 13th, 14th and 15th century seem completely relatable. She knows he stuff and knows how to share it in a way that is both entertaining and educational. Would love to use her for all my tours and very highly reommend!

Best tour, and tour guide in Florence!!! - I LOVED this tour. Irina was so passionate, and so knowledgeable about the Medici family. I soaked everything in as she explained the history of the family, the beautiful sculptures, paintings, mosaics, architecture, and design. I was fascinated with the stories, the information, and the chronology of the museum. The detail in which she shared about so many pieces, is priceless. It was by far my favorite tour in Florence, and I know it was because of Irina's experience, her professionalism, and her love for that museum, and everything in it. I would go on any tour with Irina, she definitely gave me jewels for my memory and experience. Thank you again. Amy

Book this guide! - I am an art fan and put seeing this crypt on the top of my list for our Florence visit. Had I toured it with just my husband, it would have been great. But our guide, Irinia, took it to the level of amazing. Her knowledge of the Medici family and the art of the Chapel of the Princes and the tomb designed by Michelangelo added so much to seeing this gorgeous set of tombs. She truly made this a once in a lifetime experience.

Easy walking and great history tour. - If I could rate this higher I would. Our guide was amazing and this was a private tour. She was so knowledgeable about the history of the Medici family and the building we were seeing. The guide was easy to find and was a great communicator during the tour and in making sure she was easy for us to find at the meeting point.

The Medici Stories - Surprisingly, one of our families, favorite tours. We added this tour as a “filler“ but Irena our tour guide was amazing and we learned so much. She was so informative about all the different Medici family members. Throughout the rest of our trip - things she informed us of were carried throughout Florence. The chapel was beyond beautiful! I definitely recommend this tour.

Great tour with an interesting knowledgeable guide! - Irina was great! She communicated well ahead of time to coordinate. Her presentation was very helpful in understanding all of the Medici relationships. She used her iPad to help visualize the family members and relate them to paintings in museums as well as the Netflix series! We had a good understanding coming into the tour and she provided fun insights and helped us connect the dots. We would highly recommend her as a guide!
