Hi The guide was very nice and friendly .her spoken English was difficult to understand , her English vocabulary was weak, she was knowledgeable but could not make it interesting

Our tour ended up just being the two of us plus the guide - Glenda. It was very informative and flexible - she didn’t make us go to a strict route if we weren’t particularly interested or had seen it before. So it was really a personal tour of places we wanted to see. Glenda was friendly, knowledgeable and good company and we thoroughly enjoyed our private tour. I would book this company again without question.

We took the 7 PM walking tour and met Daniel at the Piazza Di Santa Croce. He was energetic, passionate about Florentine history, receptive and eager to answer our queries. We strolled through major landmarks and discovered ample insights on the rich Florentine art and architecture; the walking tour is a great way to explore the same. Thanks Daniel!

We really enjoyed our 2 hour walking tour, thanks to Glenda our tour guide. We were fortunate to have a private tour of just the two of us and we found the tour very friendly and informative. We covered all the sights and learned lots about Florence and it’s history. It was a great way to see a lot in a short time as we only had one day in the beautiful city. Thanks Glenda!

Daniel was an absolute fountain of information and so personable. He was interesting, fun, obviously knowledgeable, and his English was excellent. He navigated the tourist crowds like a pro, always getting us to a great vantage point. There were 6 in our tour group ranging in age from 16 to 57 and we all had a great time. We would definitely recommend this way of getting oriented to Firenze.

We met up with Daniel at the Piazza Santa Croce and strolled to the many iconic landmarks of beautiful Florence learning about the history, the magnificent artworks, the fascinating architecture. Daniel’s passion and knowledge was delightful and make the tour great. We truly enjoyed ourselves, even our 10yo son was captivated by the stories - and his one tough critic - so much so, we had to return to some place’s (in particular the statue of ‘Persus with the head of Medusa’ to see Cellini’s face). Daniel’s advice for the remainder of our stay in Florence was invaluable – thank you. We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
