Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We took two tours with Martina in Florence, a city tour with a scavenger hunt and then Accademia and Uffizi Galleries, and she was truly phenomenal. She completely brought Florence to life for our family. Our Florence city tour with Martina was one of the highlights of our entire Italy trip. She transformed the city into an adventure for our family through an incredibly creative and engaging scavenger hunt that kept all three of our children excited from beginning to end. The museum tour also captivated both children and adults equally. Touring major museums with three children can be challenging, but Martina paced the experience perfectly and kept every member of our family engaged the entire time. We learned so much, but more importantly, by the end, Martina felt less like a guide and more like someone we’ll genuinely stay in touch with. What really made Martina so extraordinary was her ability to connect instantly with both kids and adults. Our 5-year-old daughter adored her immediately and literally held her hand throughout the tours. Martina has a gift for storytelling. She is animated, interesting, and knowledgeable without ever feeling dry or scripted. She made art, history, and the city itself feel vivid and alive. If you are visiting Florence, book Martina immediately. We travel a lot and take many guided tours, and this was easily the best experience we’ve ever had. Her exceptional tours made our trip unforgettable. Martina is truly special, and we feel lucky to have met her."
"Dina was such a treat to have as our tour guide. I always book private tours for our family, as our kids like to ask questions and engage with the guide. The care she took with our kids, the enjoyment she found in talking with them and the customization and flexibility she showed was very kind. Her knowledge of history and the city was plentiful. Not to mention, she is like a celebrity in Florence. Everyone knows her. 10 out of 10. Thank you, Dina."

At Palazzo Budini Gattai, a window remains ever-open for a ghost. A noblewoman endlessly awaits her lover's return from war, her spirit forever gazing upon the square. A truly heartbreaking Florence tale.
Discover the strange story of Berta, a woman whose head is petrified in the wall of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. A powerful curse keeps her spirit trapped, a warning from Florence's dark past.
The subject of a da Vinci masterpiece, Ginevra de' Benci, led a tragic life. Some say her melancholic spirit wanders the gardens and streets she once knew, a beautiful but sorrowful phantom of old Florence.
The iconic Ponte Vecchio has secrets. At night, when the crowds are gone, a Ghost Tour might reveal the whispers of lost loves and jealous quarrels echoing over the Arno river from centuries past.

"We spend five facinating hours with Matteo going through the Uffizzi and Academia. We picked him from the available guides because we are interested in art and history and he did not disappoint! Money well spent and we are enriched by his knowledge."
"Marco was phenomenal, really! His passion for history and art was contagious. He covered so much material, but in a manner that was interesting and enjoyable, not overwhelming. He was kind and attentive to our interests and needs. I would highly recommend him as your choice as a tour guide."
"She is so knowledgeable and personable- highly recommend her to anyone!! Such a great and entertaining way to tackle the highlights - she was fabulous with our two kids!!!"
"We booked Rosella for two tours in Florence (a general tour of the City on one day, and the Uffizi and Accademia on a subsequent day). Rosella was consistently charming and helpful, and her in-depth knowledge helped us to get the most from our visit. "
"Rossella did a great job in guiding us through the Uffizi. She was really easy to work with in the planning stage and would definitely recommend her."
"We had a great time with Dina. She showed us around the center of Florence for 2 hours then took us through the highlights of the Uffizzi for an hour. We saw some great places for gelato and some historically significant places. I didn’t feel like we saw out of the way or hidden areas, which was my goal but what we saw was great. Dina was lovely. She was on time, easy to talk to and went at a gentle pace. There were 5 of us and we all said she was great. I highly recommend her"
"Martina was very friendly and knowledgeable. She showed us several of the most important art pieces in both museums. Of course Michelangelo’s David was impressive, but there were many other sculptures and paintings highlighted. Definitely would recommend Martina for a tour of these museums."
