    You rock Matteo

    "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."

    Exceptional Tour Guide Through and Through

    "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 is a Gem

    "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."

    Really

    "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. "

Uncover Florence's Haunted History on a Ghost Tour

Beneath its Renaissance beauty, Florence hides chilling secrets. Dare to explore the city's dark side? Our Ghost Tour reveals spectral tales and haunted alleys. Walk with a local guide on a spooky Ghost Tour.

  • The Ghostly General of Palazzo Vecchio

    Embark on a Ghost Tour and hear of Baldaccio d'Anghiari, a 15th-century warrior betrayed and murdered in Palazzo Vecchio. It's said his restless spirit still roams its halls, eternally seeking justice.

  • A Ghost Tour and the Haunted Window

    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.

  • The Cursed Head: A Spooky Florence Legend

    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.

  • Ginevra de' Benci: A Ghostly Beauty

    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.

  • Phantom Whispers on the Ponte Vecchio

    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.
