"Maria was a fantastic guide. She was communicative before the tour and right on time! The tour was excellent and she was very knowledgeable. She has a very engaging personality and really set a great tone for our week in Florence. Thank you, Maria!"
"We had a very nice experience with Matteo in Florence. He easily accommodated our request to see the Pontormo painting at the Capponi Chapel and then took us through Basilica di Santo Spirito which he knew well. Afterwards, he took us to two of his favorite places to taste wine--a long-running family business and an expansive wine store. As we wrapped up, he pointed us to the best gelato nearby. Matteo, who is from Florence, followed up later with an extensive list of recommendations for places to eat and shop in the city. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!"

A very warm experience
"Firenze was 100 degrees, but our great experience with Ana helped us tolerate
the heat for a few hours. Ana is a warm, friendly and caring guide who shared her story, that of her family and the story of parts of Firenze that visitors could never experience on their own. Our Chianti tasting at three venues with various snacks selected by Ana made for an A+ excursion which we booked while we were on our cruise ship. Amazing what one can do these days with a telephone!! And, thanks Ana, for that fabulous pistachio gelato. The best!"
"My group of friends and I had a great time with Mara! She met us near Santa Maria Novella and we made our way to the central market and eventually to the Santa Croce neighborhood. She is very friendly and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Everyone in our group loved her. She’s very knowledgeable about the culture of Florence and its food so we learned a lot. We had one vegetarian in our group and Mara made her feel very comfortable and the vegetarian options were equally delicious. "
"Christy is a very gregarious lady she has great knowledge on the history and culture of the city and also was a first class food guide.
The tour took in some superb local food businesses and introduced us to neighbourhoods where there were more locals than tourists.
Thank you Christy for making this such a memorable experience.
