Amazing guide
"Our family of 4 visited Pitti Palace with Eduardo Allan Adazzi as our tour guide. Our experience was wonderful. Eduardo was engaging, informative, and fun. His English was amazing and he told us about so many interesting details about the Medici and Habsburg families. I wish we knew about him earlier, I would have booked him for every tour he offers. AMAZING GUIDE!"
"Michele is a very knowledgeable guide full of anecdotes of history that kept us enthralled. We’re usually “do it our selfers” but discovered so much on this day which Michele tailored to our requests for a bespoke itinerary….we highly recommend him for any tour."

So educational!
"I know we go on walking tours to learn things. However, Eddie’s tour was packed with more so much wonderful information about Florence. In the tow hours we spend with Eddie, we learned what felt like everything about Florence (though I know that is impossible). We learned the history of the world bankrupt! We are still talking about that days later. Eddie answered the kids’ questions kindly and patiently. He really seems to know so much, we loved it. "
"Cristina was exceptional! Prior to our visit she tailored our 3 hour walking tour to items of most interest to my family. In perfect English she communicated well and easily connected with all of us. Not only did she share vast knowledge about Florence’s famous history and sites, but throughout the tour she offered additional recommendations for my family to do during the remainder of our visit; and she even followed-up later with even more recommendations. Cristina is a fantastic guide and I highly recommend her!"

Dive into the depths of florence history
"We had an amazing tour throughout Florence with Laura. We had been already 2 days in Florence and walked about everywhere already but Laura pointed out so many amazing details in the buildings and architecture, people totally miss. And details of the history of buildings and people who are involved, the competition between the families at that time and how they shaped Florence culture and history.
It was truly an immersion going back in time."

Fantastic time
"Booking with Dina was the best thing I did for our Firenze visit!
It was not our first time, but we never took a guided tour. So, when I saw someone passionate about history, art and food, I thought it might be worth a shot. And it was fantastic. Most of all - Dina is flexible. She is knowledgeable about everything and what ever we asked about and asked for - she delivered. So the tour ended up being completely tailored to our family’s love of food and art and history, and we had the most fun we ever had in Firenze!"
"We thank you for your excellent tour, Maja!
You excellent explanations and insightful comments made our visit to the Uffizi THE highlight of our trip to Florenz.
Thank you so much for that!!"
"Maria is wonderful with communication before the tour, and during the tour. We did the ten tastings (not ten different stops), and the 3 hours flew by! Her knowledge and her kindness both make the yummy food experience one to remember! Thank you, Maria! "
