Uncover the best of Day Trip to Florence the local Way

"Cristina did a great job juggling several levels of interest and personalities. Her knowledge of the stories behind the David made it come to life and learning about the Medici Family was awesome too!! Thank you!"

"Cristina exceeded our expectations. Even with the short time we had before leaving Florence, she was able to give us a brilliant glimpse into the city, and especially, the David. Her experience, and professionalism, were very much appreciated. Thank you, Cristina."

"Cristina was really entertaining, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about Florence and its complicated history. The detail in which she explained the way Michelangelo created David was amazing! She made the statue come to life! If you travel to Florence do yourself a favor and book a tour With Locals. We saw other visitors at the museum just aimlessly wandering and I know they missed a lot. We felt very lucky to have had Cristina as our guide. "

"I’m not sure that I expected much more than someone to drive us up to the Civita di Bagnareggio, show us someplace to have lunch in Orvieto, and then drive us back to Rome. But instead we got a very caring, experienced guide—Mauro! It took an hour and a half to drive to the Civita during which we had a wonderful conversation about families, politics, and some of the more subtle differences between the US and Italy. I had been to the Civita 25 years ago with my daughter when there was a parking lot at the beginning of the quarter mile, very steep bridge which leads up to the little Civita. This time the parking lot was farther away up a steep hill which would have to be navigated on our descent, and I wasn’t sure I could do both the bridge uphill and the return path uphill. It wasn’t easy, but grazie to Mauro, he found me a ride back up the hill. And he knew so much about the history of the Civita. So it was more than a walk through at an interesting little town. In Orvieto he knew how to navigate the escalators in the tunnels to reduce our uphill climb, which by then was definitely appreciated. And he recommended 2 restaurants. We chose one and were happy with our choice. Because Mauro has lived in the US, his English is impeccable, and I CANT RECOMMEND HIM HIGHLY RNOUGH!"
