Irina was super knowledgeable and personable. The tour hit all of the key points and helped us to appreciate the history of the city so much more! Definitely recommend!!

Irina was an excellent guide who brought us through the history of Florence for 3 hrs, spoke about the Merdici family and walked us to the various key sites in the city. We had a much better understanding of Florence and how its different buildings came about. She even pointed out to us the various little signs and items to look out for within the city. Great tour to go for to start off our holiday in the city.

Irena was an excellent guide! She brought history to life and it made viewing the city of Florence more significant when seen through the eyes of political and religious founders. I am so glad we selected this private tour so that we could sense life in this vibrant city. I highly recommend this tour

We loved this tour on our first day in Florence. We learned so much about the history and culture here, and Irina was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant as a guide. I’d recommend this to anyone looking to learn about the major sites around Florence.

Irina was amazing. Even though this was not my first time in Florence, I felt like she gave me a better understanding of the city and showed us hidden gems. Great tour!

Irina was a great guide throughout Florence. Her knowledge of the history and the city were wonderful. I can’t imagine all the things I would have missed knowing had we not had her as our guide. She went with our pace and talked about things that were specifically of interest to us. Such a great time. Well worth it!

We loved our walking tour of Florence with Irina. We are a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We took it on a Monday when many of the museums are closed. Irina was so knowledgeable and absolutely lovely, and kept us engaged for the full 3 hours with stories about Florence’s fabulous history and the wonderful places to visit in this gorgeous city. The tour’s highlight for me was the Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy/Perfumerie - just beautiful.

Irina was very fluent in English, had unlimited knowledge about the history and background of each place she showed us AND she showed us little gems known to locals only. It was an amazing experience. Thank you so much Irina!

JeanetteCooper_H

Irina is a wonderful tour guide. The private nature of this tour is that you have no large group to hassle with or headsets to contend with. Irina keeps it moving along with interesting stories and hidden details of the city you might otherwise miss. She is adept at showing photos on her iPad to bring the stories to life and help you recall the details. We did this tour upon arriving and it helped us understand the city and its landmarks. We constantly referred back to information she gave us that first day. We are indebted to Irina for setting us up for success for our travels in Florence.
