Wow! Paolo went above and beyond before, during, and after our time together. From his kind, soft-spoken nature to his eloquent personality - we felt so comfortable with Paolo from the very start. There were several examples of when Paolo used his impeccable English to display his passion for the city of Florence. As a native of the city, Paolo gives you a more informed and natural tour of the city that exhibited a pride for Florence that another tour guide will likely not be able to offer. The following day of the tour Paolo was so gracious that he followed up with me to ensure we had a great plan for the rest of our time in Florence. I really cannot describe my gratitude for Paolo and his willingness to ensure our family truly experienced Florence in the best way possible. Thank you, Paolo!
We had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide Paolo was great! He was so personable and knowledgeable about the city and all of the venues we visited and food we tasted. He took us to favorite spots for locals and we loved everything we ate. He taught us so much about the city and the culture. My teenage daughter loved the tour too! Def worth doing this tour in Florence!

Paolo was the perfect tour guide. He knew a half-dozen incredible local spots, gave great information about food culture and Florence in general, got all of us on the tour to know each other a little better, and even connected us with other activities.

We were two couples on the trip from Canada. Valentina was our guide and she was excellent! She was a local with her entire family located in the Tuscan region going back for many generations. Loved the mix of historical knowledge and local food varieties. Nice focus on local Florentine cuisine. Highly recommend. A special thanks to Valentina for a special day. PS, Valentina we when’s back to the “wine wall” and waited for wine, but it just wouldn’t come…😂😂😂 Saluti, Brian, Carol, Warren and Sophie. Canada
