Experience the best of
Florence with Withlocals

"We had the pleasure of experiencing a fantastic food tour in Florence, guided by the exceptional Axel. His culinary knowledge combined with insider insights about the city made for a truly unforgettable experience. The tour was a delightful mix of food and a charming walk through the city with Axel sharing fascinating historical tidbits that you simply wont find anywhere else. I can't recommend it enough. There's nothing more enjoyable than being with someone who truly knows the cuisine and offers engaging and fun conversation. "

"Oh my goodness…we hit the jackpot with Cristina. She give us a very thorough and fun tour. Her knowledge and the way she shared that information was top notch! She was friendly, funny and seemed to enjoy her job. "

"Elizabetta is a wonderful foodie and it was fun to learn from her. We were able to be comfortable trying new foods on the rest of our trip because of her. "

"We really enjoyed our time with Dina. Book her! She gave us enough information without overwhelming us. She knew several "tricks" to make things go smoother and miss some of the big lines. Dina was on-time at the designated location. She was professional and very knowledgeable. Great choice! "

"This was our first withlocals tour and we were blessed to have the inestimable Matteo as our guide. He showed us the well known & lesser known gems of Florence, interspersed with fascinating historical (Game of Thrones are amateurs!) & personal stories, all weaving Florentine history together. There were so many highlights - a few would be Michelangelo’s crucifixion made when he was 17yo, that art & politics aren’t separate (we see the Piazza della signoria with new eyes), and Matteo himself. Excellent recommendations for coffee, an enoteca, and an aperitivo were acted upon. We can’t recommend the knowledgeable, friendly & personable Matteo enough - if you were at a dinner party, you’d want to be sat beside Matteo. "

"Virginia was a fabulous guide. Super knowledgeable about the architecture and history of the main attractions. But she also added bits of insight into art and it’s development within the context of an evolving Florence. Lots of hidden gems along the way and very good recommendations for restaurants and gelateria off the tourist track. "

"Laura was super knowledgeable and very passionate about Florence. We really appreciate all the little details and hidden gems she pointed out. I recommend her to anyone who really wants to know about the history of Florence from a world class host. "

"I loved my tour with Virginia. Saw so much which was fascinating and beautiful in just a few hours and felt I was understanding what I saw. Virginia really gauged my interests and tailored the tour accordingly. She has a wonderful wealth of interesting history and art insight which she explains in a light, engaging way as well as great recommendations for the true Florence artisans. "

"Maja gave us a fantastic tour, better than we expected. She is very knowledgeable but also very personable, nice to be with. We have a good overview of Florence, its history, churches and museums. Much better than just reading a guide book. Thank you, Maja!"

"Christy loves her city. She clearly takes the time to find the hidden gems in the city and learns what makes them interesting. Christy guided our small group of women around busy Florence with patience, especially when a straggler would spot a quick shopping experience. She is personable, knowledgeable and easy going. You’ll enjoy your time with Christy. "
