Experience the best of
Florence with Withlocals

"We had an enjoyable time exploring Florence with Guily. It was a combination of a food and city tour. The tour was informative and interesting. "

"Eduardo, was excellent from the moment we booked on line. Always responded to texts right away, answered questions, guided us through the process of booking tickets. We met at the perfect time of the day, entered the Uffizi, and were swept up in his in-depth narrative of the history and art we witnessed. We loved our tour, and Eduardo’s perspective. We wished we booked him for all of the museums."

"I am so grateful that I had a tour with Ana today in Florence. Not only is she able to clearly explain the real treasures and history of Florence, she is obviously very passionate about this amazing city, it's history and culinary delights. The unexpected bonus was that I really enjoyed our conversations about life from someone living here and will remember it forever - I feel that I will definitely be back to Florence 🙏"

"Walking around Florence with Maja was a dream. Her tour is customizable, highly informative, and all around good company. Highly recommend! "

"Dina shared insights seamlessly combining art, history and local knowledge to keep us enthralled the entire tour. We are an older couple and appreciated her thoughtfulness in shaping the tour to our interests and physical limitations. She knows where all the shortcuts, elevators and WCs are! Our only regret is for not booking other tours with her. Thanks again Dina!"

"Three of us really enjoyed our time with Matteo. He took note of our preference to concentrate on lesser known/quieter streets & areas (as we’d visited the hot spots on previous trips). Breakfast venue was great as was market experience, enabling us to taste food as we went. His knowledge of art/history/architecture is extensive but he made everything accessible and fun and finished with great restaurant recommendations. Thanks, Matteo, for showing us a different side to Florence. Will definitely recommend you to friends. "

"This walking tour through Florence was absolutely unforgettable! “The History of Florence: Famous Medici Family & Pitti Palace Tour” was the perfect blend of rich history, beautiful architecture, and fascinating storytelling. We began at the iconic Odeon Theatre, a wonderful spot that set the tone for the tour with its old-world charm. From there, we explored the grand Pitti Palace, once home to the powerful Medici family, where we learned captivating stories about their influence over Florence and Europe. One of the unexpected highlights was a visit to the official Santa Maria Novella perfumery, a hidden gem full of centuries-old recipes and heavenly scents. Right nearby, the majestic Santa Maria Novella Church left us in awe with its frescoes and peaceful beauty. We were especially moved by the Medici tombs and museums, where history came alive through the stories of power, politics, and art. The tour also included time at the incredible Florence Cathedral (Duomo) — a true masterpiece of Renaissance architecture — and ended at the Museo di Palazzo Vecchio, the heart of Florence’s political history. Our local guide, Michele made all the difference — he was passionate, knowledgeable, and an incredible storyteller. Every stop felt like stepping into a time machine, guided by someone who genuinely loves and understands this city’s legacy. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dive deep into Florence’s storied past while walking through its most iconic landmarks. An unforgettable cultural experience!"

"We are a group of 3 friends from Ireland, that take a tour with Ana. Ana was so kind, knowledgeable and passionate about both Florence and its food. We learned so much about the culture and cuisine of Florence. Ana also gave us personalised recommendations for the rest of our stay. We had a lovely day with Ana, we would highly recommend a tour with her. Vicky "

"We planned for a half day tour with Giulia in Florence. The day before the tour Trenetalia announced that there was going to be a rail strike. We scrambled for a driver and got to Florence much later than expected. Giulia was in touch with us the whole ride in. She calmed me down, told me not to worry and managed to get us to our meeting place in time for our tour of the Accademia Gallery. And that was all before meeting her! She whisked us into the museum and gave us one of the best museum tours I have ever had! She was so knowledgeable, interesting, engaging and open for all questions. Her lead up to seeing the David was amazing! She then took us to a great cafe- Twist Bistrot - for coffee and a snack -yum! She talked to us about what she had in mind for the tour and then asked us what we wanted to do. She showed us all the ‘must-see’ sights and then walked us around, giving insightful history and fun facts about the sights and Florence in general. This was my third visit to Florence and I’ve never learned so much in such a fun way! She also answered 500 questions we had about all sorts of things. We ended up at a fantastic gelato place (better than the advertised best gelato in the world’ place in San Gimignano!) feeling like we knew so much about Florence, Italy and Giulia! I felt like we made a new friend for life! I highly recommend the Highlights of Florence tour and Giulia!"

"Thanks Christina we just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our time with you. You were so knowledgeable about art and history that it helped us navigate the very best of the gallery and has set in place what we will one day see when we come back. You were super fun and we really loved your company! BW A&T "
