Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Chiara was so knowledgable about the Medici Family and their influence in Florence . The time passed so quick . It was so fascinating & full of hidden surprises . The Medici Family chapel was jaw dropping in its opulence & size , totally unexpected in a church that no way would you guess this was waiting for you inside . "
"I have been to Florence many times but was traveling with friends that had never been. I wanted to give them a good intro to the city, so I asked Dina to design an itinerary including the Uffizi. Dina is a fun and knowledgeable guide. I learned some new rhings and my friends very much enjoyed their tour. I would highly recommend booking Dina as your guide in Florence. "
"Dina toured us around Florence. We saw Dave and spent a lot of the time at the Duomo. We learned so much about the city, the duomo and the Dave. Dina also pointed out the a great panini shop. I would highly recommend her to anyone."
"We traveled to Italy for our first time ever! We booked Dina for two tours in Florence. We love how flexible and informative she was in curating an itinerary for both days of our tours. The shorter tour we booked "Where the Locals Go" and she truly shared her favorite coffee shop, shops, and food places (and why they were her favorites) for example. On our longer tour we visited more historical places but every stop Dina had so much knowledge and insight to why and how those historic monuments/places came to be. My husband and I feel like we took an Italian history class in two days. Plus her English is excellent! More importantly she's truly passionate about her city and her love for it is imminent during her tours. Dina is a lovely tour guide and we feel so blessed to have had her as our first tour guide into the heart of Florence!"
"Highly recommend taking a tour with Dina! We had a personalised 5 hour guided tour with Dina to introduce us to ‘all things’ Florence and the highlights. The afternoon flew by, so much to see and do. Dina was passionate and knowledgeable, giving us some depth of information where wanted and introducing other elements to our tour to raise our awareness to things we may have missed entirely. She brought the city, it’s history, it’s structures, art and community to life. Not an inexpensive way to take a tour, but exactly what we wanted and therefore definitely worth it. "
"Andrea is a masterful guide! We were a diverse group, containing history and art-history grads, as well as teenagers. But Andrea is extremely knowledgeable and was excellent at catering to all tastes. I cannot imagine there is a better guide for getting under the 'skin' of Florence. Andrea passionately loves the city, and it shows."
"Andrea provided a private tour for my mother and father-in-law which was a gift for her 60th birthday. They did this tour with Andrea on the first day and they have both told me it was a superb way to get your bearings in Florence and learn more about the city. They said Andrea was warm and welcoming. They accidentally went to a different start point and he was understanding and relaxed when they were a little bit late. He was also wonderful to communicate with and make my mother-in-law's 60th present special. The day they did this tour was the day they arrived and I think he knew I was nervous of everything going to plan so he was in touch checking they had landed etc. The communication and service went above and beyond. I cannot wait to go back to Florence myself and will definitely be contacting Andrea for some tours. It is well worth the money - book this tour!"
"We had a wonderful time with Federica! She is pleasant, very knowledgeable and responsive. Planning and communication began months before we arrived in Florence. She modified and customized the tour to what we wanted to see. She is so easy going, it was like making an instant friend who could show you around. Her knowledge of art history that she shared - so interesting and not commonly known! So glad we booked with Federica!"
