Hiring Michele was one of the best decisions we made on our trip to Italy. He was great and we got so much more out of our visit to the Uffizi than we would have on our own or in a large tour group. He was so knowledgeable and just a great companion to spend a few hours with talking about Italian art. Well worth it. Great Experience

She showed us the best spots for Gelato and food on our tour, made sure we saw what we wanted, and left plenty of time for questions. Her english is also very good and she makes things super easy to comprehend! We booked her for two different tours and I 100% recommend booking her for your experiences in Florence!

Alessia’s tour was fantastic. The walking search for street art was fun and engaging. Visiting local artists’ studios, talking to the artists, was the perfect way to be introduced to ‘new’ art and we all purchased a few pieces, with commentary from the artists themselves. My students and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We didn’t want it to end.You need to take this tour

(About local Giuly)

4 junio 2025

Giuly was wonderful! We asked her to put together a personal tour of the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens for my nephew and myself and Guily delivered. She was thorough and yet provided space to allow our experience of what she was showing us. We found this to be a nice balance of information and experience. Not only that but she connected our experience with other historical landmarks in relation to the Palace and Gardens that were in different parts of Florence. This gave us a larger perspective of understanding the time in which we were peering into. Guily herself was delighful, light hearted, and attuned to our experience and pacing. She was helpful with other recommendations about what to do in the city from resturants to piazzas. My 18 uear old nephew even commented that it was one of his favorite tours because it was so easliy informative but digestable. Thank you again Giuly we had a lovely time with you and appreciated so much your expertise and sharing! SethExceptional tour

Francesco’s tours of the Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Gallery were incredibly insightful, informative and memorable. Francesco’s knowledge of history and art are extraordinary and we learned so much about Florence, the “school of the world”, during his fascinating tours. Francesco is an engaging storyteller, and a flexible, accommodating and kind tour guide. We look forward to enjoying more tours with Francesco during future visits to Florence and highly recommend Francesco for any tour of Florence! Brilliant Florentine tour guide!

Giorgio took us on a great food and local knowledge tour of Florence. We started with a very informative stroll through the farmers market. Next, we walked through the streets as he explained some of the historic buildings and the stories behind them. Along the way, we stopped at several places and sampled food and beverage that the locals enjoy. It didn’t seem like we had enough time. I would love to do it again and spend a couple more hours with Giorgio as our guide. Food plus tour

Dina was our host through the Uffizi Gallery for our family. She was delightful from beginning to end and so very knowledgeable about the beautiful works of art in the gallery. Experiencing the Uffizi was SO much more meaningful with Dina to help us understand what we were experiencing. She brought the art and artists to life, as well as those who commissioned the art. Her English is wonderful, too! Thank you Dina for a wonderful experience! Dina is Wonderful!

Dina took us on a great tour of the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery. She was very responsive in planning our tour and made adjustments based on what I requested. She was willing to do less than the usual 4 hour tour since we thiught that would be too long for us. Dina was such a great guide that she made our time at the museums one of our favorite activities. She knew just the right pace to go and how much detail to give us to keep it interesting for our group of six. Aside from being so informative she was so fun and easy to be with. We highly recommend Dina!!Fantastic tour of museums with Dina!

This walking tour through Florence was absolutely unforgettable! “The History of Florence: Famous Medici Family & Pitti Palace Tour” was the perfect blend of rich history, beautiful architecture, and fascinating storytelling. We began at the iconic Odeon Theatre, a wonderful spot that set the tone for the tour with its old-world charm. From there, we explored the grand Pitti Palace, once home to the powerful Medici family, where we learned captivating stories about their influence over Florence and Europe. One of the unexpected highlights was a visit to the official Santa Maria Novella perfumery, a hidden gem full of centuries-old recipes and heavenly scents. Right nearby, the majestic Santa Maria Novella Church left us in awe with its frescoes and peaceful beauty. We were especially moved by the Medici tombs and museums, where history came alive through the stories of power, politics, and art. The tour also included time at the incredible Florence Cathedral (Duomo) — a true masterpiece of Renaissance architecture — and ended at the Museo di Palazzo Vecchio, the heart of Florence’s political history. Our local guide, Michele made all the difference — he was passionate, knowledgeable, and an incredible storyteller. Every stop felt like stepping into a time machine, guided by someone who genuinely loves and understands this city’s legacy. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dive deep into Florence’s storied past while walking through its most iconic landmarks. An unforgettable cultural experience!Journey Through Florence’s Past

We had no time to research Florence or learn very much Italian. Months before we arrived we booked a tour with Michele, then there we were. And he didn’t judge. He just told us stories about how Florence became what it is. We only have two days here. Not enough. He made us want to come back. Thank you, Michele. Transform from a tourist to a neighbor.
