"Elizabeth was a wonderful guide and showed us around the less touristy part of Florence. We enjoyed sampling the locals favorite foods and spend some time in the market. We tasted things that we wouldn’t have ordinarily tasted with her guidance. I’d highly recommend any tours with this company. It was an intimate tour with only the four of us and we learned so much!

Don’t miss seeing Florence with Cristina!
"This was our first trip to Florence. To be honest when we first arrived, we thought Florence would be a one and done for us, but after our tour with Cristina, we are definitely going back! Cristina is native to Florence and her love and pride for her city is so evident and infectious. She is extremely well-versed about the city ‘s history and showed us all of the hidden gems including the most delicious gelato! When the tour was over, she recommended wonderful restaurants that we enjoyed and directed us to some really nice authentic local shops. We really enjoyed our day with Cristina and she completely turned our limited first impression to an authentic awesome experience that we want to revisit! "
"Francesco is an exceptional guide with a wealth of experience and knowledge! If you’re planning a trip to Florence, don’t hesitate to book him — you won’t regret it. His expertise in the history of Florence and its art is absolutely outstanding. We had the pleasure of spending the morning with Francesco as he expertly guided my family of four adults through the Uffizi Gallery. His ability to highlight key pieces and provide rich context for the art and its historical significance truly brought the Renaissance to life. Navigating the Uffizi can be overwhelming, with its vast collection and crowds, but Francesco made sure we maximized our time. He knew exactly where to take us, helping us appreciate both the well-known masterpieces and the hidden gems. Francesco’s passion for art and history was contagious. His tour prompted lots of great discussion at the dinner table later that night. His friendly, approachable demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. We are already looking forward to booking him again on future trips to Florence. He’s more than just a guide — he’s a true ambassador for this beautiful city!"

Uffizi con mi amica
"Spending the afternoon with Marty at the Uffizi was like being with an old friend. She was friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. She showed us the important paintings and the history of each one. We wanted to see the Caravaggios, which might not have been on her normal “route”, but she made it possible to show them to us. We also went through the Vasari Corridor which was very special to experience. A great tour with someone who was attentive and very much enjoyed art history! Grazie! "
