Our guide Bryan was absolutely incredible! He was incredibly knowledgeable and seemed to really enjoy talking about the history of the city. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Francesca was a superb guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable - a true Florentine. The tour was very interesting, great architecture, artwork, history - and we also enjoyed some gelato! Highly recommended. Thank you.

Marzia was absolutely fantastic. She showed us all of the key things in Accademia and took us to parts of the city we would have had trouble discovering on our own. Her knowledge of art and history is extensive, and she made everything interesting so my teenagers weren’t bored. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see the highlights of Florence art and culture.

Daniela was very informative, punctual and went out of her way to make sure that we got to see all of the city sites we requested. She was kind enough to arrange to start our tour early in order to deal with the large crowds and we certainly appreciated her efforts. We would highly recommend this tour! For reference, total walking distance was approximately 2.7 miles.

Amazing “private tour” (just our two couples). Giacomo provided an outstanding brisk walking tour of Florence and the history behind the sights. He truly brought the old buildings and statues to life. It was a free-admission day (first Sunday of month) but Giacomo managed to weave through crowds and masses of people effortlessly. He made a conscious effort to not talk while moving, but rather gather our party in a quieter area (usually in shade) before he spoke. Finally, our guide customized the route to work around a foot race being conducted in the city streets and also provided recommendations for the rest of our day, including assisting with dinner reservations.

We had a wonderful walking tour with Scilla! She was funny, kind and knowledgeable. After taking us to see all of the gorgeous highlights of old Florence, we “skipped the line” and within minutes we were standing in front of David in the Accademia museum. What a treat. I would highly recommend booking with Italian Vista. If you can walk a few kilometres, a walking tour is the way to go. An excellent day!

Barbara was a great guide, knowledgable, witty and funny! She made it a great and relaxed experience.
