Exceptional guided tour of Florence - Yesterday afternoon my family and I were very lucky to visit the historic center of Florence next to what is sure to be one of the best tour guides in the area. We did a route of about two hours with Sonia who explained the history of the city, its sculptures, its architecture and a lot of anecdotes about Florence, its inhabitants and customs. My kids really enjoyed themselves. And we really do too! Thank you so much, Sonia. We will repeat for sure!!!

There will be a third time with Sonia - Our first experience with Sonia dates back to 2015. The second one now in 2024 and choosing it again is already indicative of the magnificent impression it left us the first time, more than confirmed and with an added value worthy of a great professional. When we traveled from Rome, only for that visit, the train arrived almost an hour late and was able to explain to the rest of the group the incident to begin the visit with us. Needless to say or say anything else

Without a doubt, the best official guide to Florence... We recommend it 1000% - We have no words to thank Sonia, her company and explanations in all the guided tours we have done (Uffizzi Museum, Academia, Palazzo Vecchio, Church of Santa Mª Novella and tour of the historic center of Florence). We loved the city and its beer... Hahahaha. We recommend her 1000%, she is charming!!!!
