"Ivana brought the monuments and history of Florence to life. She was friendly and personable and customized the tour to our needs. Trust that she will create a wonderful Florentine experience for you."
"Within minutes of meeting us, Antonina switched gears to personalize our little tour to match our personalities. We wanted to try authentic and humble food away from the crowds. It was delicious! She took us through a section of Florence where we were able to see a lot of street art, based on what she saw us taking pictures of. She matched our need for a faster pace, so that we could see more. We were enchanted by her, and would have loved to spend the rest of the day with her!"

"Matteo beyond exceeded our expectations with his extensive knowledge and showed us some amazing sites in Florence that we would have never knew even existed! This experience allowed us to have an even greater appreciation for the beauty and history of Florence.
Matteo is a great guy and is very dedicated to sharing this amazing city with others. He went above and beyond to provide the most amazing, memorable experience! I would highly recommend booking with Matteo-you will not regret it!"
"We loved our tour with Maria through beautiful Florence. She was warm, friendly and knowledgeable, and she was fantastic with our daughter. She knew wonderful information about the city and its history and pointed out many things we never would have found on our own. She was also easy to reach before the tour and took the time to chat with me via message to help me make some plans. I absolutely highly recommend her and I hope we get to see her again."
"Cristina provided an enjoyable, informative tour of the Uffizi. She provided a history of the Medici family and gave a good background to the city of Florence. She did a great job curating the art and focusing our visit. I’d highly recommend a tour with Cristina "
"Lots of patience with our two young girls. Made it fun for them while bringing the interesting notes for the adults as well. Highly recommend "
