Hilary did a wonderful job of showing some of the best things in Florence. Her timing was excellent and her discussions were well structured. We give her an A+
We had the pleasure of having Sylvia as our guide. We were looking for a tour to give us an introduction to Florence and this met our expectations. She took us to both the main areas like the Duomo and Medici palace but also Santa Croce and the Medici Chapels which were amazing. We loved every part of this tour and Sylvia was very good and would recommend her and this tour.
An excellent tour. Just the right pace and our guide was very knowledgeable. We van highly recommend.
A nice walk through the streets of Firenze. The guide didn’t organize her time very well and we wasted much time at the start of the tour then we had to rush through the last parts of the tour at Santa Croces
Martina was a fabulous guide! We saw so much more than we could have ever dreamed of - she made sure to include the must-sees as well as hidden gems along the way. She also made several food recommendations to us that we checked out during our time in Florence. They were all fantastic!! We would absolutely use this tour group again. Thank you for everything!
Martins was excellent!! Our walking tour was so much more than we could have asked for. She was a wealth of knowledge and showed us hidden gems all along the way. This is a must do!
Martina introduced me Florence to me on a walking tour of city, providing history and perspective that made Florence of the 1300-1500 live in my mind.
I am not the best planner, and this time it really worked out in my favor. Upon my arrival to Florence I searched for a walking tour of Florence but they were all booked. But I found this private tour and it was amazing. I think I will never go back to group tours. Alessandra who is so knowledgeable, fun, kind and made it clear that it was very important to her that this tour be tailored to my interests. And she did just that. This was truly the highlight of my visit to Florence.
This visit has been part of our honeymoon and, in truth, it has been one of the best experiences of our whole trip, our guide was Francesca and could not do better, a very close and super friendly person who had a lot of knowledge of everything he was teaching us. We remembered it all very fondly, as he also gave us more data for the rest of our stay there and we loved everything he told us, both sightseeing and restaurants, all very rich and much cheaper than the sites we had gone on our own.
Very friendly staff and on hand to help us during our trip. They organized our day in Florence with a guida that explains the history of the city.
