Stefano was the most fun and engaging host we’ve had. He was knowledgeable, interactive, and made the tour very interesting. We had so much fun while learning about the history of Florence. I highly recommend booking a tour with Stefano. You will not be disappointed!
Stefano was very informative, knowledgeable and engaging, making the overall tour very enjoyable- even though we had journeyed that day and very tired - we still enjoyed the history & curiosities of this wonderful city. Thank you again Stefano Andy & Mar
What a wonderful time spent walking through Florence. Loved the tour. So much fun and very interactive. Our guide Stefano was so full of facts and had amazing energy.
It was amazing. Stefano did a great job!
If you are in Florence and want to do something different, this tour is really nice! It's not your usual guided tour: along the way there's also a quiz that makes everything more fun and keeps you always on the lookout. The guide was great. And you can also win a dinner, a really nice idea!
Stefano was a great Florentine guide who showed us a lot of curiosities about the city. He was so kind, even going as far as lending me his leather jacket because the night became older. He had great energy, answered all of our questions, and was an expert historian. It ended up just being my husband and I, so it was great to have had a more intimate tour of Florence. I especially liked learning about the medieval sections of the city. We recommend Stefano as he is an excellent walking tour guide.
Very original walking tour in Florence. Guide prepared and nice. Fun experience with a competitive twist thanks to the dinner award
Super cute! If you are in Florence and want to do something different, this tour is super cute! It’s not the usual guided tour: there’s also a quiz along the way that makes everything more fun and always keeps you alert. The guide was very good. And you can even win a dinner, really a nice idea!
Nice experience in Florence with this walking tour a little different than usual. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the quiz made the visit more engaging. Maybe I would have preferred a little more insight into some historical aspects, but overall it was very pleasant. Nice idea also the final prize with dinner for the winners!
Too funny and extremely interesting! If I had enough time, I would do it again in Florence! I would see the same, you will probably hear the same stories, but the involvement of guide Stefano is unique in the world
