Experience Shopping tours in the best of
Florence with Withlocals

"We had a great tour of Florence with Matteo. He was flexible and took us to famous, known places and to ones that locals know. It was a really fun day!"

"Everything about our tour was perfect. The organisational aspects worked perfectly. He was careful of us and courteous at all times. The tour itself was amazing bringing together those people living in modern Florence and running family businesses with the beauty of the city itself. We felt privileged to meet local people and taste their delicious produce. Everyone was welcoming and proud of the things we rated. Pastries, wine, freshly cooked meat and potatoes in the market, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and delicious Icecream. With Matteo we covered areas we would never have been on our own. We saw the little hidden gems of the city. In the Basilica di Santo Spirito we saw the beautiful Christ on the Cross in its planned setting - magnificent!! We will definitely come back"

"We spent the afternoon with Matteo wandering through Florence. What a beautiful city and having Matteo as our guide gave us a great insight into the history and culture of the city. We kicked off in the local market and enjoyed some amazing local produce. He has a great relationship with a lot of the local vendors and that made for a fun interactive afternoon. He gave us great tips on buying local products such as leather and jewellery. The tour was very well paced and had a great mix of food, shopping and local history. Would 100% recommend Matteo if you are in Florence. "

"Had a great experience with Matteo, he is very friendly, a wealth of information and tailored the experience to meet all our needs, ate some wonderful food, tried some incredible wine and learned a lot about Florence and it’s history, would recommend Matteo to show you around "

"Matteo gave us a shopping tour of Firenze with some historical facts, snacks, and wine along the way! He introduced us to a bunch of local wine sellers, artists, and local producers of our favorite Italian items. He showed us places we would have never encountered on our own as tourists. Highly recommend! "

"I arrived late because I got lost. Matteo waited patiently. Then we started off on our tour. He showed me Florence from a native point of view. We had a continuous conversation full of information and insight throughout the tour. We met up with neighbors and they were so lovely and forthcoming. I highly recommend this tour with Matteo. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Matteo. We did the Sights, Food and shopping tour which was fantastic. Matteo is so knowledgeable about Florence and shared such interesting stories and facts. We have 2 teenage sons and they loved this tour (not always the case!). Even after the tour, Matteo sent me suggestions for shopping which was very appreciated. I recommend Matteo for any tour. He is so personable and knowledgeable. "

"My teen daughter and I had a wonderful time touring Florence with Matteo, enjoying shopping, tastings and taking in the sights and history of the city. Matteo was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. Matteo was a great fit for us because he has experience providing tours to teens/students. You just cannot go wrong with a private guide willing to personalize your experience! We knew we wanted to visit the Gucci flagship store, which we accomplished, and Matteo took us to a couple of other truly special spots to shop that perfectly suited our tastes. We enjoyed a few food stops at fantastic spots we would not have known to try. This tour covered so much ground in the city, but in an efficient way that minimized the miles that we could have wandered around lost had we not had Matteo to guide us. We simply could not have seen so much and learned so much on our own. I highly recommend booking this tour with Matteo!"

"When my husband and I first came across the Withlocals website many months ago, we knew that we would want to take advantage of that program during our time in Florence. After considering three different tours, we decided on the Art, Shopping, and Food of Florence walking tour. Once the tour was booked, Matteo was in touch with us very soon after. Because I am a person who tries to troubleshoot any possible scenarios and to know pretty specifically what to expect, I had a number of questions. Matteo was patient and thorough in his replies. I could tell from our correspondence that he was going to be the perfect guide for us. Our time with Matteo was a delight. He had tailored our itinerary to our preferences, and we covered a lot of ground without becoming exhausted. I do believe that he knows every street, alley, and shortcut in the area! Matteo is a wealth of information, and he shares it in an interesting and relatable manner. He is very attentive and considerate, and he makes every effort to provide the absolute best experience possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Matteo for this or any other tour."
