Knowledgeable and Friendly - Irina is well and truly amazing guide. Her knowledge of Florence and its hisory is tremendous and she will find a little story to tell you about so many things you would have missed. She will answer all your questions thoughtfully. It almost feels like you are studying about Florence in real time with her which was an amazing experience for a history buff like me.
All in all - I will definitely book another tour with her when I am here next time and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Overall, 5/5! Will definitely recommend her tour to our family and friends 👍🏽 - Irina is a very experienced tour guide! We (my relatives and I) availed of her tour package and was not disappointed. She contacted us minutes before the specified time to make sure we can easily find her in the midst of the crowd. She took her time to tell the story of how Florence came to be and she also used visual guides to understand her better. The tour was at a relaxed pace and did not feel rushed at all!

Great Florence orientation - Irina gave us a wonderful tour- perfect for getting oriented to the city on our first night. She gave us enough detail to be entertaining without my 11 and 13 year old boys being bored. When we saw museums afterwards, both boys remembered things Irina had taught them. Highly recommend her tour!

A favorite individualized tour with Irina - We really enjoyed the small details that brought Florence to life for us. The stories of the Medici family and the intricate details of how Florence became the birthplace city of the Renaissance were uniquely Irina. She told the stories that made the experience interesting and put us in the “virtual world” of the bourgeois class of the 15th century. Do yourself a favor and book her. You won’t regret. Gratzie Irina.

The Walking Tour with Irina - This tour with Irina was excellent, which was expected as this was my third tour with her. This tour was informative, interesting and whetted my appetite to learn more about Florence. This tour was also different as we weren't confined to a specific building and could walk around and see the energy of the city of Florence. This tour encouraged us to ask many questions about the different buildings, the people who build them and how Florence has changed over the years.
I can see how this tour will always be different as the people attending will ask different questions which will lead to more questions an so on. I liked this idea very much. Irina answered every question and seemed as interested in questions as we were curious about the answers.
This tour, as with all tours with Irina, was very entertaining, educational and definitely worth every penny.
I highly recommend Irina for any tour of Florence/Tuscany.
