Florence with Withlocals

"My mom and I had a wonderful tour with Michele. He adjusted our itinerary to accommodate some pain my mom had while walking and still gave us a ton of insight into the gems of Florence. Along the way he showed us clever places to relax around the city, some with astonishing views and no other tourists. He was sure to point out great places to eat and drink along the way, always happy to linger if we wanted or continue when we were ready. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Florentine art and history and helped us to feel at home in the city. Highly recommend this fabulous human. In hindsight, I wish we’d started with a shorter tour, then hired him again when we had more insight on our interests and stamina. "

"Florence native Matteo provided fascinating background for the principal artworks of the Uffizi, weaving together art history and the history of Florence. We ran over the allotted tour time, but the time flew by because everything was so interesting. He went to extra trouble to obtain tour headsets for us from the gallery, so that my hard-of-hearing father could also hear him speak. I could not recommend Matteo more highly."

"We absolutely LOVED our tour with Antonella! ✨ This was so much more than just a food tour—it was an immersive experience into the local culture and customs of Florence. Antonella’s knowledge was incredible, and you could clearly see the genuine relationships she has built with each of the vendors we visited. Every single bite was intentional, thoughtfully selected, and paired with a meaningful story or cultural insight. The walk was perfectly paced—not too long—and the food was outstanding. Each stop felt special and authentic. She was also incredibly flexible and attentive with our 16-month-old, making sure she had food she could enjoy and that she stayed happy throughout the experience. That level of care meant so much to us. If you’re looking for a tour that is delicious, culturally rich, personal, and unforgettable—this is it. Highly, highly recommend! 🌟"

"We absolutely loved our walking tour with Michele! It was myself, my husband, and our 16-month-old, and Michele was incredibly accommodating with a slightly slower pace because of the baby. He was so kind and even carried her at one point, which we truly appreciated. It felt more like a walk with a friend—someone who shared stories and insights naturally—rather than a formal tour. At the same time, we learned so much about Florence. Sometimes you come back from a tour and wonder, “What did I actually learn?” That was definitely not the case here! We left feeling informed, inspired, and so glad we chose this experience. Highly recommend!"

"Eden had tailored my private tour to include some shopping along with some fabulous local food. We visited some interesting local shops, had coffee at a high end cafe and had beautiful local food at a traditional rustic trattoria. On the way back we stopped by a bookshop in an old cinema, complete with seats to watch a Charlie Chaplin movie, fabulous. If I have time I will go back for a bit of quiet time…"

"Matteo was a great guide, gave excellent insight into the history and background stories of many of the artworks. Was great to have his knowledge shared with me. He also went out of his way to find me an excellent local trattoria for lunch, much appreciated, thanks Matteo!"

"My husband and I enjoyed our tour of Florence its Renaissance history with Vincenzo. He was responsive and knowledgeable, and helped make the city and its history come alive. Id recommend Vincenzo without hesitation."

"Our family of 4 visited Pitti Palace with Eduardo Allan Adazzi as our tour guide. Our experience was wonderful. Eduardo was engaging, informative, and fun. His English was amazing and he told us about so many interesting details about the Medici and Habsburg families. I wish we knew about him earlier, I would have booked him for every tour he offers. AMAZING GUIDE!"

"Michele is a very knowledgeable guide full of anecdotes of history that kept us enthralled. We’re usually “do it our selfers” but discovered so much on this day which Michele tailored to our requests for a bespoke itinerary….we highly recommend him for any tour."

"I know we go on walking tours to learn things. However, Eddie’s tour was packed with more so much wonderful information about Florence. In the tow hours we spend with Eddie, we learned what felt like everything about Florence (though I know that is impossible). We learned the history of the world bankrupt! We are still talking about that days later. Eddie answered the kids’ questions kindly and patiently. He really seems to know so much, we loved it. "
