We had a wonderful tour on our first evening in Florence with Michele. He has amazing energy and passion for history and art and was a great storyteller. We all enjoyed spending time with him and learned so much! He was one of our favorite tour guides on a several week vacation around Europe. Highly recommend!

Tour was cancelled on me 2 hours before we were scheduled to meet which threw a wrench in our day since we had no chance of booking another tour by that time. no explanation given and no compensation offered for our inconvenience. I would find a more reliable tour that won’t cancel on you at the last second and throw your day into chaos.

Prior to the date of the tour, Dina provided excellent communication regarding the meeting place and what to expect on the tour. Dina met me at our hotel right on time. Originally, the tour was to include my wife but we made the mistake of touring the Boboli Gardens the day before and she had blisters on her feet. For English speaking guests, rest assured, Dina speaks perfect English. Dina was full of interesting stories and facts about the Oltrarno area and the Medici family. She took me to a few local artisans to describe their goods and process. Dina has a great personality and the time went by too fast. Going to a new area with a guide like Dina adds so much more to the experience. You can’t go wrong by using Dina for your tour. I highly recommend Dina for tours.

Dina was warm and quickly made our two kids comfortable. She ensured that she connected with them on their level (sometimes literally squatting down to their eye level) and engaged them with questions. Dina also provided enough information for the adults to be entertained, and gave us a lot of recommendations to do with the kids while we’re in town. I would definitely recommend Dina for anyone looking for a personalized and engaging tour!

We had the best time on this tour around the city. It really helped us to gain an understanding of the layout, and Dina brought her sweet dog Nala! This was my kids favorite part of the tour. 😁 We really enjoyed seeing the sights and talking with Dina. She is very knowledgeable and personable and SO GOOD with kids! At the end we were treated to gelato! I would definitely hire her again!

Our tour with Virgina made our short visit to Florence so much richer then it would have been without her. In two hours we learned about the city, the art and the people who created it. I loved having someone else to follow instead of using my phone to guide everyone around. She had great answers to my kids’ questions and is a lovely person. Highly recommended for families!

Martina did a fantastic job engaging my kids on the tour. The highlight of the tour was the paper demo. Martina even helped me to book a paper marbling workshop for my kids that we could do later in the day. This was extremely helpful as the regular demo shop was already booked. Martina was able to recommend another shop that was available. My kids and I had a great time.

After waiting a half hour in the rain, Viator confirmed that my tour guide wasn't going to show up. Company was very apologetic and the refund was super quick, but I'd arranged our day around that tour and it was challenging to rearrange a full day of sightseeing on no notice. Overall, great customer service from Viator, but I would have preferred to take the tour.

Dina was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. She was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and fun. Was willing to answer any and all questions and went above and beyond in the days leading up to and after our trip. Her English and Spanish were perfect and she made our first day in Florence so memorable. She was kind and patient with our toddler and managed to get a smile out of her by the end of the day. Which is a triumph in itself! Our two year old was a little young for the scavenger hunt but she went out of her way to make her feel included and keep her happy. Dina is a gem. Totally worth it. Thank you for everything Dina!!!!

We did the Florence tour on Monday August 9th / 2021 with Cristina, with our two daughters (9) and (11) years old. Cristina was amazing, very professional, with a high knowledge of the city and their secrets stories, very friendly and definitely super kids oriented. My girls really enjoyed the tour and the treasure hunt game despite of the 36 degrees :(. She took us to an amazing ice cream place ( it was the best part of the tour for our daughters, on top of the received a little gift from Cristina). This time in Florence, Cristina revealed us new places and secrets to be discovered in Florence. We fully recommend Cristina as an amazing city guide. Hope to see you soon Cristina.
