(About local Maria)

30 May 2025

We had a fantastic day walking around Florence with Maria. Maria was friendly and informative and showed us some really unique spots along the way. From a family run wine on tap establishment to a 500 year old wine cellar and some other shared stories along the way, Maria immersed us in the local culture of the area while avoiding the busy tourist spots. We truly enjoyed peaking behind the curtains of the daily life of Florentines that is difficult to see amongst the sea of people visiting from all over the world while enjoying delicious wine and an outstanding meat and cheese board to cap it all off. Maria was flexible with our family when there was a sudden urge from our teenagers to eat paninis and gelato which is exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely utilize with locals again in the future and hope to be able to come back to Florence and enjoy a glass of wine with Maria when she is off the clock. So Local!

28 July 2025

We had the absolute pleasure of taking a food and drink tour in Florence with Giorgio, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! Giorgio was everything you could hope for in a guide – warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for Florence’s history and culture shone through in every story he told, adding so much depth and color to each stop we made. Whether we were sipping wine, sampling local delicacies, or strolling through the charming streets, Giorgio made it all come alive with fascinating facts and anecdotes. What really stood out was his kindness and flexibility. He was incredibly accommodating to our group’s needs and made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. He had a great sense of humor and created such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere—it felt like exploring the city with a very well-informed friend. We can’t recommend Giorgio enough. If you're in Florence and want an unforgettable food and cultural experience, look no further!A Fantastic Experience with Giorgio

Giorgio was amazing!!! He took my family of 4 all around Florence and gave so much information and history about Florence and the food and wine. He was flexible and showed us things we were interested in even if it varied from the plan or agenda. The tour was worth the price we paid plus. I highly recommend Giorgio and will schedule with him again.Tastings With Giorgio

My family and I had a very enjoyable 3 hours with Mara. She was chatty, friendly and fun, and did a great job of asking us lots of questions so she could tailor our tour. She showed us lots of surprising hidden gems that we would not otherwise have found and gave us many recommendations of places to visit by ourselves- all of which proved spot on. We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a relaxed and informed tour around the less obvious parts of the city. Chatty, friendly, full of local knowledge

Eduardo was the highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we met, his warmth, professionalism, and deep local knowledge transformed a great tour into something unforgettable. Every detail was thought through — timing, atmosphere, storytelling — and he made everyone feel welcome and special. You can feel how passionate he is about what he does, and it shines through every minute. If you’re looking for a truly authentic, world-class experience, look no further.

17 July 2025

Giuly was wonderful, but we had children, aged 7 & 10, and the tour was difficult for them. I think accommodations need to be made if children are in the mix. There was an amazing amount of information, and Giuly was warm and lovely, but it was just overwhelming for the little ones.

(About local Giorgio)

16 July 2025

We enjoyed our tour with Giorgio but did not find it to be appropriately priced. In contrast to its listed description, we did not experience 10 different food/drink tastings and the tour was not customizable to our wishes. We visited several locations with Giorgio and enjoyed the variety, but the tour's title is misleading and its description should be better clarified. Not Quite 10 Tastings

(About local Michele)

14 July 2025

We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Florence with Michele as our guide, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, Michele impressed us with his deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and above all, his clear love and passione for what he does. What stood out the most was how genuinely invested he was in making our experience special. He even treated our entire family to gelato during the tour—a small gesture that spoke volumes about his kindness and generosity. Michele never once repeated himself or fell into a routine; he kept us captivated with fascinating insights, fresh perspectives, and a great sense of humor. We walked away having learned so much about Florence—its history, culture, and hidden gems—all thanks to his enthusiastic and thoughtful guidance. We wholeheartedly recommend Michele to anyone looking for a guide in Florence. He’s not just a guide—he’s a storyteller, a historian, and someone who truly brings the city to life. Grazie mille, Michele!Knowledge, Passion, and Gelato!

We had a fantastic experience touring the Uffizi Gallery with Eduardo as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the art, but what really stood out was his ability to keep the entire family engaged—including our three young kids! Eduardo made the history come alive, showing us all the most important masterpieces while tailoring the explanations to suit both adults and children. Our 12-year-old even said it was the most interesting part of the day—no small feat when you’re traveling with kids! Thanks to Eduardo, we all left with a deeper appreciation for the art and history of the Uffizi. If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend asking for Eduardo. You won’t be disappointed!Amazing Uffizi Tour with Eduardo!

Within minutes of meeting us, Antonina switched gears to personalize our little tour to match our personalities. We wanted to try authentic and humble food away from the crowds. It was delicious! She took us through a section of Florence where we were able to see a lot of street art, based on what she saw us taking pictures of. She matched our need for a faster pace, so that we could see more. We were enchanted by her, and would have loved to spend the rest of the day with her!Personality and Heart

(About local Ana)

19 June 2025

We had a great experience walking with Ana. We were three adults newly arrived in Florence. We had booked the tour from home. Communications with Ana before meeting were excellent, both in greeting and for arrangements to meet on the day. We met at a café/bar on the Duomo piazza. Ana was charming and most welcoming. After introductions we had coffee and learnt from Ana some of the customs around bars and coffee, most helpful for the rest of the week (we have toured in Italy before but it turned out that there was much we did not know!). Ana then took us walking, mentioning, explaining, informing and advising as we went, collecting useful recommendations on where we might eat during the week. We visited some points off the tourist trails with interesting stories. Ana was thoroughly engaging. We had stops for coffee and wine. A particular memory will be cheese and cold meat tasting at a delightful small, old-established delicatessen, finishing at a favourite gelateria. Quite deliberately we took our tour on the first evening of our visit to Florence and appreciated the suggestions and advice for further visits during the week of our stay. Ana was thoroughly good company. We came away delighted with the experience. We will be very happy to use ‘With Locals’ again on future city holidays. Thank you Ana!

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

When we finished, our kids proclaimed it to be “one of the best parts” of our 8-day Italy trip this far. Mara has great energy, is SUPER knowledgeable about Florence, is fun and interesting and easy to talk to. She took us to four spots and we cleaned our plates at each stop.

Mara was kind, patient, fun, smart, hilarious and knew her stuff. Mara’s tour was comprehensive but never boring. We had just arrived in Florence and she arranged a tasting w/ a tray of delicious meats and a glass of wine - in a beautiful intimate cafe. My students and I especially loved our stop at the movie-theater bookstore and nearby art exhibit. We ended our tour at a wine window (wish I could attach pictures). Then we stood and sipped while she personally interacted with each of my students. Perfect in every way.Mara’s the guide you want!

From the moment we met Maria, it was clear we were in for something special. Warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, Maria brought the city of Florence to life in a way that only a true local could. Her passion for Florentine history, culture, and—most importantly—its food was contagious. Every stop on the tasting tour was a carefully chosen gem. Maria introduced us not just to incredible flavors, but to the stories and people behind them. We sampled the most delicious prosciutto, artisan cheeses, wine windows, and of course, gelato that we’re still dreaming about! What made the experience even more exceptional was Maria’s ability to tailor the tour to our interests while sharing insights and anecdotes that made us feel connected to the soul of the city. She was attentive, funny, and had a way of making everyone feel like an old friend. This was so much more than a food tour—it was a cultural journey, and Maria was the perfect guide. If you’re coming to Florence and want an authentic and delicious way to experience the city, do not miss the chance to tour with Maria. She is truly a gem! Grazie mille, Maria—we’ll be talking about this day for years to come! Maria = the best!

This was the perfect way to start our trip to Florence! We got an overview of the city, a great feel of the culture, and overall lay of the land. Our guide, Mara was simply amazing! She checked in with us before the tour to get a feel of what we liked and was accommodating throughout the tour. She explained what we were going to try, and made suggestions and recommendations for substitutions for those who had a more delicate pallet. Mara made sure we tried everything we wanted, and we even later revisited some of the locations during our trip. She was easy to talk to and in the end, we felt we had a new friend in Florence. Highly recommended you book with Mara!Simply amazing!

Maria was very easy to communicate with. She is a very enthusiastic person, using the authentic places as part of the food tour. We had so much fun during this 3 hrs. I recommend it to everyone who is planning to visit Florence. We made the mistake of staying only one afternoon in Florence. Stay at least 2-3 full days, there is so much to see and taste.Knowledgeable and empathic human being.

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

I booked a food tour with this company because they offer private tours. We decided to go with Maria based on past reviews and her interests. Maria took us to her favourite places around Florence...to shop, eat, market, etc. Each place we visited felt very unique and would not have been able to experience by oneself. The food and drinks consumed were great (the best macchiatto I've tasted) and plentiful. Maria was very warm and engaging and provided a personal touch to the tour. She was very helpful and gave many recommendations, even after the tour finished. I highly recommend her. There was a lot of walking on the tour but necessary to experience the wonders of Florence. The tour would have been even better if we could have expressed our interests in what to taste, but it is tailored depending on the guide. Our group had specific dietary requirements and this was advised at the last minute. Maria was able to accommodate this with no issues. She was fantastic in looking after us. Thank you for a wonderful experience! Wonderful food tour around Florence

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
