"We spent our first 3 hours in Florence with Vesela, and it was a great experience. She was very informative, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Florence with her. She even gave us some restaurant recommendations before and after our tour to accommodate our dietary restrictions! "
"We loved our tour with Maria through beautiful Florence. She was warm, friendly and knowledgeable, and she was fantastic with our daughter. She knew wonderful information about the city and its history and pointed out many things we never would have found on our own. She was also easy to reach before the tour and took the time to chat with me via message to help me make some plans. I absolutely highly recommend her and I hope we get to see her again."
"Lots of patience with our two young girls. Made it fun for them while bringing the interesting notes for the adults as well. Highly recommend "

Lovely neighbourhood
"We explored the less known touristic places and saw wonderful things.
It’s so personal which makes it awesome the food recommendations and the local spots for wine have been awesome and worth the many steps!!"
"Our tour with Laura was all we could ask for. It was informative and interesting and gave us an insight into the sense of florentine humour. We learned about the crossroad icons and the fizzy drinking fountain. Laura was very good company and fun to talk to. A great experience all round. I would recommend her and taking the tour. With locals coming out top again!"
"Great tour with Matteo, very informative giving suggestions for restaurants and explained a lot of the historical facts & great gelato 🍧 so worth doing when limited on time spent there. "
"Ivana was a great guide for our group of four. Very well versed in all things Florentine. Nice pace and engaging presentation of key areas of Florence as well as interesting off the beaten path tidbits. Highly recommended!!"

Go enjoy a morning with Alessandra!
"We had the most lovely tour with Alessandra— you should absolutely book with her! She is a warm and knowledgeable host who knows all the ins and outs of Florence. She joined my family of two parents and two teenage girls and took us into an area I would not have found. It was like seeing all of the local spots buried in a touristy area - beautiful! We loved visiting a few old churches (with incredible frescoes and histories to enjoy), and squares, and got to take in a beautiful view, as well as some modern art. After learning that we are avid readers, she found a lovely bookshop/cafe for us to relax and cool down with a coffee and snack - we were the only Americans there, which I can’t say about anywhere else we have visited! She also found us some tickets to a classical music concert for that evening, AND dropped us off at a wonderful trattoria (again- local!) for lunch. She really tailored the day to what we wanted. We learned so much and enjoyed the pleasure of Alessandra’s good company the entire time. Have a wonderful time on your tour with Alessandra!"

Perfect
"Over all a perfect trip. She was great showing us some special places and telling us secrets about the city of Florence👍🏼 The main thing was, that the way she’s doing her job is so enthusiastic and you see every single second that she really loves her job. It was a special day for us. Thanks so much"
"Matteo was an excellent guide for the Florence walking tour. We loved his stories and his enthusiasm was contagious. Our granddaughters are aged 12 and 14 and they very much enjoyed him as well."
