Our tour guide Leo did a great job educating us on the history of Florence and the history behind all the sites we visited. It was a great way to see the highlights of Florence in 1 day. We saw the Uffizi, the Duomo, Basilica of Santa Croce and the David among other sites that only a local would know. Leo was great in keeping our 3 teens engaged as well. Lots of walking but since it was a private tour, it was easy to take breaks when we needed them. Leo also gave us many useful tips to make the most of our stay in Florence.

Wow, what an experience. Our guide Marco was so knowledgeable, passionate and thoughtful. He helped us plan out an incredible day in Florence. We toured the museum, crossed the Ponte Vecchio bridge and explored some of local Florence and back for a viewing of David. By the end of the day we hated to leave Marco, he had become one of the family. Until we meet again.

Leonardo was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable and very accomodating based on what we wanted to see. He had fantastic recommendations for other places to see and things to do. The tour covered so many different sites and if you only have one day to do a tour, this is a great one to do. If you get Leo, you will have a great experience.

What a fabulous day we spent in Florence with Giulia. We spent about 5 hours taking in all the sites. Giulia was quick, insightful and her knowledge of art was impeccable. I have never had so much description of the 'David'. I would highly recommend this tour.

We loved our day with Stefania! She was kind and thoughtful. She did a great job explaining the art to us at the Uffizi and Galleria. It really made it come alive. Communication with the company was excellent as well. Thank you Stefania!

This is an amazing tour! Stefania was both incredibly knowledgeable and really sweet. She was attentive to our needs for water and rests and knew so much about every piece of art, architecture, and the historic context of Florence and the Medicis. I actually have a degree in Art History and she taught me a few things. We brought our 17-year-old daughter on this tour too and Stefania was able to talk on levels that engaged our teenager and kept my husband (who has a Ph.D. in History) and I fascinated. She even found an incredible out-of-the-way restaurant for us to have lunch in and then joined us for lunch, all the while sharing more information about beautiful Florence. Incredible tour and tour guide!! 100% recommended!! Plus Florence is deserted now post Covid, so don't wait. Take advantage of having palaces and museums, shops, restaurants and hotels to yourself. Florence is bellissima!

My wife and I did two separate tours, on back to back days, while in Florence (the Florence Classic + Accademia and Florence Classic + Uffizi) with Roberto and could not have been happier. Roberto picked us up at our hotel and took us around the city with an encyclopedic knowledge not only of Florence but Italy overall. At the end of the tour we asked him for some "non-touristy" restaurant recommendations and he came through for us there too!

A private all day tour for my wife and I. There was confusion over the start time - we were told 9;30 and our guide was told 9am. However, our guide was not clock watching at all and happily gave us even longer at the end than we had been entitled to. Martina made this tour thoroughly enjoyable as well as interesting. it was totally clear that she knew Florence and its history completely. She knew the answer to every question we asked and told us lots of interesting stories and facts. Her lunch recommendation was lovely and felt authentic rather than touristy. When its just a guide and 2 people, the individual makes all the difference. If you plan on booking this tour, book Martina. I can’t praise her highly enough.
