"We had a great afternoon with Matteo. He did a great job of keeping the tour interesting for us and out 3 kids, under 12. The explanations were sufficiently detailed and was able to provide in depth explanations to questions. He also did a great job with suggestions for other parts of our trip. Would definitely recommend!!"

Knowledgeable, encouraging and friendly
"Cristina tailored her Uffizi tour to suit our different requirements. She gave a good chronological history of the art that we were seeing and showed us how we could identify the different periods based on the style and technique of the artist. Cristina was very encouraging and gave positive reinforcement when we recognised features in the paintings which confirmed the point she was making. We were surprised how much we learned about the Medici and their place in the social, political and religious history of Florence.
Cristina’s English was superb and she communicated with us clearly and eloquently.
Thank you Cristina for a great start to out holiday in Florence."
