Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Dina was truly such a gift for our 30th wedding anniversary! Having her as our guide for the day was like being with an old friend. We talked beforehand and she set up all sorts of wonderful experiences for the day and gave clear instructions on how and when to buy tickets for the museums we would be seeing. Dina has a vast knowledge of history and explained many things in ways we could relate to and remember. She took us to shops that families have run for generations and delicious eateries. She made our day extremely special!"
"My tour with Dina was a core memory of my 2 weeks spent in Italy in 2025. We walked and walked and walked. And talked and talked and talked. I felt like it was the perfect 5 hours - seeing the famous spots as well as the hidden gems, experiencing Florence as a tourist and as a local, eating some amazing food and getting some great photos along the way. Thank you Dina for making my time spent in Florence so special. Definitely recommend!"
"We had a superb experience on the “Enjoy Florence highlights in one day” tour with Dina. She was very knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate about the history and culture of Florence. During this five-hour tour Dina shared captivating stories, answered all questions enthusiastically, and made the entire experience enjoyable and engaging. We could have gone on for another 5 hours without feeling tired. Her attention to detail and genuine care really stood out—whether it was offering helpful tips, making sure everyone felt included, or ensuring we had the best possible views. Due to our exceptional guide, we obtained a much deeper appreciation of Florence history and the context surrounding its artistic developments. I highly recommend a tour with Dina to anyone looking for an unforgettable and well-organized experience. Truly amazing!"

"We had a great tour with Chiara. We requested a Florence tour that focused on the Medici family and their lasting influence. We visited the Medici chapel of the San Lorenzo church and the Palazzo Vecchio to understand key elements of their history. Chiara was very knowledgeable and attentive to our interests. She found accessible entrances to accommodate our mobility issue (knee) and guided us to important Medici points. Grazie Mille Chiara!"
"We had an absolutely fantastic half-day tour with Omar! His passion and deep knowledge brought the worlds of da Vinci and Galileo vividly to life, making the scientific wonders of the Renaissance both fascinating and accessible. Omar’s enthusiasm was infectious, turning every moment into a captivating story. Beyond the content, he made us feel incredibly welcome and at ease from start to finish. Having a private tour amid the hustle and bustle of a very busy tourist season made the experience all the more special. Thank you, Omar, for an unforgettable and enriching day!"
"I have never used With Locals before but was informed by another that was the way to go. We booked Dina as our tour guide and couldn't have been more impressed. The way she navigated through the lines of David and the Uffizi was impressive, which line to get in, which way to go amongst hundreds, no way we could have handled those lines on our own. And the knowledge she brought not only within those two sites but on the walking tour, through the markets and various piazzas, explaining their significance as well as the statues, again impressive. She spoke perfect English and was responsive to every question we had. Dina provided recommendatons of other sites and restaurants within the city, along with other cities on our journey through Italy. She has been responsive through chat long after we left Florence providing recommendations. A true gem. Don't hesitate, you wont be disappointed."
"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."
