Trotz großer Hitze hat Maja es geschafft dass unsere Kinder sie mit Fragen gelöchert haben. Diese hat sie mit viel Liebe gerne beantwortet und so ist ein schöner Dialog über Florenz und die Medici entstanden. Wir würden jederzeit gerne wieder mit ihr durch Florenz spazieren. Wunderbare Familientour

Sometimes in life you meet someone who is just fully engaging in their work...for Maja this is a labor of love. She is extremely knowledgable and forthcoming in her love of Florence and Art. She took very good care of us during our tour to insure we enjoyed a most pleasant experience. She even spend extra time with us to show us a few more things than were scheduled for our tour. An absolutely delightful woman!! Amazing Experience with Maja!!

I organised a tour with Maja, well before going out to Firenze (Florence) because we had watched the Medici series on TV and wanted to know what was true and what was artistic license by the director. Maja coming from Firenze seemed a good choice and we was not disappointed, she was absolutely brilliant and knowledgeable and would highly recommend doing a tour with this very professional lady. If you’re thinking of doing a tour then watch the Medici and then book with this company. If your going to spend some time in the city then it’s best to buy tickets in advance of going as the city is crammed full of tourists and you cannot book thing’s like walking up the duomo or go and see Micheal Angelos David statue because they don’t sell them on the day😉What a lovely and knowledgeable lady

Maja so sweet and knowledgeable. We did the Medici tour right away when we arrived in Florence and it helped us see how to navigate the city and she showed us amazing back street historical gems that we never would have known without her. We would ask her random questions and she knew the answers! We highly recommend!Great way to start our visit!

Maja is a wealth of knowledge about art and history - we were able to see so much on our 6 hour tour of the city, the Uffizi, and the Accademia. She customized much of our tour to things she knew we were interested in, provided excellent recommendations for a quick bite to eat and gelato, and was overall very pleasant to spend the day with! A Perfect Day in Florence

We had two tours with Maja - one day of Art at the Uffizi and Michelango ‘s David and one day of culture and history ( and some art) on the walking tour of the Medici s and Palazza del Vecchio . Maja grew up in the Florence area and knows the history and the culture. She also studies art and is an artist herself. So Maja seems to have all of the knowledge and its not just a rehearsed speech. Maybe the best quality of Maja is her communication skills and ability to customize her information to her audience. She engaged us in the tour and and we thoroughly enjoyed the days. Some topics we wanted all the details , and some things we only wanted the highlights. Maja sensed this and kept us interested throughout both tours. Maja the Magnificent

Der Rundgang mit Maja hat großen Spaß gemacht! Sie hat uns anhand der Geschichte der Familie Medici die Stadt gezeigt und all die Fragen unseres Sohnes beantwortet (auch die nach der nächsten Eisdiele;-) Plötzlich kann man die Zeichen und Symbole in den Wappen und Bildern "lesen", großartig!

Maja is a very knowledgeable, service-oriented and funny guide. She told us all the relevant facts of the medici family and brought their stories in perspective with the epoque in which they lived. She was very well able to keep the interest of our kids high and also continuously remained us focussed by asking questions and asking about our personal interests, making the tour a great and interactive experience. All in all just great!Maja unlocked us the history of the Medici

Maja war eine sehr gute Begleitung für die Uffizien. Terminierung und Absprache im Vorfeld haben sehr gut geklappt; verständliche unkomplizierte Kommunikation. Ich kann Maja unbedenklich weiter empfehlen, sie hat uns dieses „schwierige“ Museum, die Kunst und die Epochen sehr gut vermittelt. Uffizien mit Maja

Unsere Wünsche wurden perfekt erfüllt und wir wurden immer gefragt ob alles passt oder wir hungrig oder durstig sind. Es haben sich auch spontane Wege ergeben und Maja konnte jede unserer Fragen mit Bravour beantworten. Wir sind sehr positiv beeindruckt worden. Vielen Dank Ein schöner Urlaub wurde perfekt!

Maja is an outstanding guide: she was able to engage both my wife and I, as well as our kids (13 and 11yrs old). We did with her the Uffizi tour and the Medici tour: we recommend both. Maja was capable to transmit her knowledge of Florence and its masterpieces in a pleasant way, mixing elements of art history with amusing anecdotes, thus keeping the kids always interested. Thanks Maja!Knowledgeable and easygoing
