Engaging and Informative - Carlos was wonderful. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable (he's a native Florentine) he was also very careful to engage every member of our group of 4. He shared fascinating historical tidbits and did so with Italian charm.

A must visit when in Florence! - Loved the skip the line Accademia Gallery and Michelangelo’s David Tour. Impressive collection of art and sculpture of David. Enjoyed the sculpture and the musical rooms too. Liked the fact that this gallery wasn’t as busy as the Cathedral and other monuments we toured. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable too. Meeting point was easy to find and for a 8:00 meeting time, it was a safe and easy walk.

Leonardo…. Not just a famous artist. - Leonardo was our guide. Do not settle for less. Request Leonardo. We were staying at the Saint Regis and Leonardo used our location as an opportunity to see other interesting sites on the way. He took us by the oldest pharmacy in the world, the oldest building in Florence, the Piazza della Republica, and the Piazza del Duomo where the Florence Cathedral. All of this on the way to give us historical content on the way to see the David. He was full of terrific information and spoke perfect English. The David was spectacular. Seeing it in person was breathtaking. It stands almost 16’. No pictures in books can give you any idea. I’m serious when I say this, a private tour with Leonardo is worth whatever the cost. Bravo Leonardo!

Florence toyr - Leonardo was the highlight of our visit to Florence! We were there with a group of 12 friends. We were running a bit late so he met us at the restaurant that we were having lunch at and told us to take our time and he waited outside. He proceeded to take is on a walking tour that was both informative and entertaining. No easy task! One of the couples in our group went back again for another tour with Leonardo a couple of weeks later with a different group. they said that he gave them a completely different tour that was equally interesting. Leonardo is the best!

Tourist - Leonardo is a fantastic guide and historian who took two separate groups of friends on different days on tours of Florence. He is a great guy with fascinating insights into the history of the city and Italy as a whole. Highly recommend
