"Beatrice made our tour around Pistoia feel more like a walk with a friend. She knows her town, her people, and her history. Bright and energetic with a great sense of humor. You can’t go wrong by choosing to spend your time with her. Grazie Mille, Beatrice! "

"Right from the beginning, Emma introduced us to the charm of the locals in Pisa. We tasted different wines, cheeses, drinks and other foods along the way while learning the history of Pisa. We travelled off the beaten path and were able to see the true beauty of this Tuscany city. "

"Our tour of Pistoia was fantastic, Beatrice our guide was very knowledgeable and very personable. Since my grandparents came from this city it made for a very satisfying day. We learn about the history, great pastry shops and had a delicious lunch in one of the squares."

"We are on a short visit to Italy. This was Karen’s first visit. I wanted for Karen and myself a more personal visit to a smaller city. Our guide was Beatrice. Our visit certainly met optimistic expectations and more. Beatrice is a lovely person, knowledgeable (she is a archeologist), attentive to needs and it was easy to feel comfortable during 2 hour trip. Pistoia is a lovely town with much history that Beatrice related well. This is less tourist centric but people we encountered were all friendly. Beatrice loves her city and shares her positive feelings as we toured. Beatrice is very engaging, communicated city history and travel logistics well and would strongly recommend to all. We had the added treat of seeing Beatrice’s 3 month daughter sleeping peacefully in stroller push by grandmother. We had a lovely and easy trip from Florence to Pistoia by train. "

"We had a fantastic time in Pistoia with our guide Beatrice. She was extremely knowledgeable, interesting and spoke very good English. She was so accommodating in getting us to and from Florence and letting us extend our time in Pistoia to have lunch. This was our first time to Pistoia and we were pleasantly surprised with the town and all there was to see. We would not have discovered many of the historical areas or local restaurants without Beatrice’s help. Generally we are not big fans of tours, but this one was great and I would highly recommend it. A good way to take a break from Florence. "

"Wir hatten einen tollen Nachmittag mit Emma verbracht. Die kulinarische und historische Tour in Pisa war ein sehr schönes Erlebnis. Emma führte uns zu vielen Stationen mit besonderen Leckereien und tollen Getränken und zwischendurch haben wir auch sehr viel interessantes über die Architektur und Geschichte der Stadt erfahren. "

"We really enjoyed Emma and her local knowledge. Helped us take full advantage of our time in Pisa. Highly recommend!"

"I'm from Los Angeles and Emma exposed us to local Pisa experiences. Our kids are still raving about the walk, the history, the food, and the wine. I highly recommend - this will be a highlight of your Italian experience. Far exceeded my expectations. Joe Marando, Burbank CA USA"

"We really enjoyed our tour with Emma. It was a \"down to earth\" and authentic walk through parts of Pisa with snacks different places. We can only recommend this way of seeing parts of the city we would otherwise not have seen."

"Beatrice was an efficient, capable, personable and pleasant tour guide before, during, and after our trip. She helped us navigate by train from Florence to Pistoia, where she met us. Beatrice shared with us in a knowledgeable way the information she had about Pistoia’s history and culture, and took us to really interesting spots there including the Duomo, Baptistery, and a local bar/cafe with lots of history, where we enjoyed delicious coffee and pastries. Being a Saturday, we also walked through the local open-air Saturday market, which was very colorful and enjoyable. After a satisfying tour, Beatrice took us to a little place to get a local focaccia to-go, and then helped us get tickets to Lucca, our next destination. We were very pleased with our tour of Pistoia, and our choice of Beatrice as a tour guide, and highly recommend both! Laura "
