Uncover the best of Day Trip to Florence the local Way

"My group had a wonder experience with Christina touring the Galleria dell'Accademia and Medici Chapel. Christina is very knowledgeable and she was able to weave in stories that humanized what we were seeing that enhanced our overall experience. I would certainly take another tour with Christina."

"This day trip is an absolute MUST while staying in Italy. You will find yourself entering the scene of fairytale with beautiful backgrounds and mesmerizing towns perched atop mountain-like hills in Umbria. With the warm company of Mauro, you will enter the pages of a fantasy book as he sets the scene for what was and what is as you move along in your adventure. The towns were a beautiful hidden gem that truly highlights what Italy is at its core. You will have no regrets and make an amazing friend along the way. Thanks again Mauro for your hospitality, glowing personality, and for the friendship you blessed with during our time together."

"Cristina’s tour is a must! She is so knowledgeable, kind, informative, and patient. She gave us the perfect tour with a lot of information but without dragging on. She was incredibly patient with our 7 month old and helped move around or even hold him when he got fussy. I highly recommend her tours and I personally won’t use anyone else now! "

"We went with a few local guides to various spots in the city. Crisitina is the only who not only engaged the adults but also the kids! She looked at the kids and addressed them directly. She kept their attention by asking them questions or telling them stories. She is also very funny and knowledgeable. Thank you !"

"Cristina is very knowledgeable, accommodating, and easy to work with. We only had a few hours in Florence and she tailored a two hour tour to suit our needs. She knows a lot of the history of Florence and was very good at helping us to see the high points in a short period of time! She speaks excellent English! Thank you, Christina for a great day! "

"Christina met us at rendezvous area promptly. She was personable and engaging from the point of our introductions. We entered Academia and was given a very good introduction of what to expect and explanation of use of plaster sculptures as learning tool. Went into the room where David is located. We sat on the bench as she explained history of how Michaelangelo came to do the David. We then went up to view the sculpture and after she pointed out the details. Went to see the room with all the plaster sculptures as she gave us description of processes. Then we went to Medici Chapel that is awesome and just as impressive. Many tourists miss that site. Christina was extremely knowledgeable and gave us good information and history. The tour of both facilities was well paced, organized and done in a very professional manner. Thank you"

"There are not enough word to describe how magical this experience is. Mauro and extremely friendly guide. Europes big cities are wonderful but the smaller villages “una favola”. We had a wonderful time chatting with Mauro en route to the first stop. The first village is straight out of a story book and Umbria was breathtaking. We hope to return to Rome and will definitely connect with Mauro again when we do."

"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!"

"Because of train delays, we were a few minutes late in meeting Cristina, but that really caused no problem. She was waiting for us, very welcoming and with a big smile. We had a group of 8, including our granddaughters who are 7 and 9. From the very beginning, Cristina included them in everything. Even though they didn’t respond much, they both said afterwards how nice she was. Cristina was extremely knowledgeable, added interesting stories, and asked questions to stimulate conversations. I highly recommend Cristina…I’m confident you will enjoy your experience with her."
