We did the Secrets and Legends tour and our guide, Raffaello, who‘s born an raised in Florence did a wonderfull job. Not only does he know all about Florence and its hidden places but he also told us stories in an engaging, intresting and funny way. Thank you!

Elizabeth was great! We ended up with a private tour. She was super knowledgeable and engaging. We passed by and learned about some of the typical florentine not to miss sights but also saw sights off the beaten path. It was fun!

Our tour guide was lovely and so informed about Florence. But it was just a regular tour though, and not the ghost tour we hoped it would be. Perhaps it's because we booked it close to the start time.

This was a fantastic tour. Loudovica was so informative and really pleasant! I saw so many things I would have totally missed but but for her excellent tour- I was actually the only person who had booked and she still went ahead which says alot about her. The hidden gems were fantastic and will stay with me.

Una delle guide più chiare, pulite e interessanti alle quali ho avuto il piacere di partecipare. La guida Alberto e stato unico nel suo genere, mostrandoci una Firenze medievale, fatta di famiglie nobili e torri maestose. È riuscito ad attirare l'attenzione di tutti senza apparire pesante o noioso. Sicuramente in futuro parteciperò ad un altro tour della "Florence Tours". Grazie per questa bella esperienza.
