Perfect Private Tour
Everything about our tour was perfect. The organisational aspects worked perfectly. He was careful of us and courteous at all times.
The tour itself was amazing bringing together those people living in modern Florence and running family businesses with the beauty of the city itself. We felt privileged to meet local people and taste their delicious produce. Everyone was welcoming and proud of the things we rated. Pastries, wine, freshly cooked meat and potatoes in the market, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and delicious Icecream.
With Matteo we covered areas we would never have been on our own. We saw the little hidden gems of the city. In the Basilica di Santo Spirito we saw the beautiful Christ on the Cross in its planned setting - magnificent!!
We will definitely come back

Hosted by a friend
We had a wonderful time with Federica! She is pleasant, very knowledgeable and responsive. Planning and communication began months before we arrived in Florence. She modified and customized the tour to what we wanted to see. She is so easy going, it was like making an instant friend who could show you around. Her knowledge of art history that she shared - so interesting and not commonly known! So glad we booked with Federica!

Florence with Matteo
We spent the afternoon with Matteo wandering through Florence. What a beautiful city and having Matteo as our guide gave us a great insight into the history and culture of the city. We kicked off in the local market and enjoyed some amazing local produce. He has a great relationship with a lot of the local vendors and that made for a fun interactive afternoon. He gave us great tips on buying local products such as leather and jewellery. The tour was very well paced and had a great mix of food, shopping and local history. Would 100% recommend Matteo if you are in Florence.
