Dina is a wonderful guide. Great communication and very knowledgeable. We had to change the time of the tour and she was accommodating. We had a fantastic afternoon. One of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Thanks Dina!Fantastic Day!

Our experience started with great communication from the time of our booking. Dina was very attentive in responding to ensure we received her responses quickly so we could make our decisions and purchases as some attractions and times sell out. She provided full details of what to expect during the process on the bookings. Fortunately we booked well enough in advance that we were able to secure the tickets and times we wanted. As the trip approached, her communication continued. She coordinated our meet up location based upon where our tour started and the day before our tour communicated wonderfully on where and how to locate her. This turned out not to even be a search as she spotted us and approached unhesitatingly. She is an absolutely wonderful host in her city and started us off at one of her favorite historical coffee bars. Her knowledge and passion for her city and country is evident in her presentations during her tours. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience spending the day with her. I highly recommend a private tour with Dina to gain that one-on-one experience and be ably to ask questions and communicate. She truly loves what she does and it is felt.Knowledgeable & Passionate about Florence

Thank you, Dina!! We wish had more time together- we loved your energy, enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Italian history and art. We are a total pro at your craft. Thanks again and many recommendations to our family and friends in the future. 100% recommendation!

This was a great tour. Dina is so knowledgeable and engaging. We customized our tour to see museums and to visit local artisans- the absolute best of both worlds!! Thanks to Dina to making a very memorable day for our family. Fabulous tour with Dina

Important!!! I hope I have your attention because giving 10/10 doesn’t do Dina justice. Dina went out of her way to engage our 17 year old niece during our 5 hour tour of Florence exploring and curtailing the tour to her interests! We learned so many interesting things besides having the best porchetta sandwiches during our Italy trip. We Highly recommend Dina - besides knowing her history and the local culture, she’s a wonderful, interesting, engaging person that makes your day extra special for any age. It’s our sincere hope to catch up with her on our next Italian adventure ❤️😊An Amazing Day!

What an exceptional experience with Dina from initial booking through farewell. Dina immediately reached out to confirm our tour and asked about any special requirements (interesting for a 13yr old). She touched base in the days before our tour, including the evening before to remind us to have breakfast, bring water, etc. On the day of our tour it was 100+ degrees in Florence and Dina made sure to keep us in the shade, stop for breaks, and find the best shady spots. Her knowledge of Florence and its history is fantastic; she kept the stories interesting and engaged with our daughter throughout out the day. She truly went above and beyond to make this a special experience; from taking pictures, making dinner recommendations, sharing the BEST Cappucino spot and sharing her art history knowledge. We can’t recommend Dina enough - she’s fantastic, you will be lucky to spend a day with her!Fantastic Florence with Dina

Dina was an amazing host and took us all around the best spots in Florence. She was patient with the kids and had a great smile and attitude! Amazing!

Kelly🇺🇸 United States

16 July 2024

Dina was incredible! From our first contact, I felt I had a new friend in Florence. Myself, my husband and our 12 year old son booked a full day tour in Florence as we were visiting for the day from Rome. Dina was fun, friendly and knowledgeable about the art, culture and history of Florence. She was engaging and even kept my jetlagged 12 years olds attention. He is still talking about the panino we stopped for...lol. One day was not enough for Florence and we are dreaming of our return. We were able to see the David, tour the Uffizi, see the Gates of Paradise and grab some of the best gelato. Thank you so much Dina for an amazing day in Florence. The Chases

Trying to pack in a whole city, and meet everyone’s expectations can be a real challenge. Dina’s passion for Florence, and her ability to engage our teens, especially in the peak of summer, was fabulous. She effortlessly navigated the crowds and logistics, and accommodated our preferences to really give us a personalised overview. Highly recommend!A personal and engaging experience

David🇺🇸 United States

What a joy it was to experience Florence with Dina! She was super professional, very knowledgeable, and a complete delight to spend the morning with. I cannot recommend this highly enough; simply superb.Amazing Experience

Adam🇺🇸 United States

24 April 2024

We had an amazing day with Dina in Florence. We saw the major sites, the Uffizi, the Accademia and some hidden gems. She was exceptional with the children - aged 10 through 14 - teaching them and keeping things light and interesting. I’d highly recommend booking with her. She was also super communicative before the tour while booking. Don’t hesitate to book with Dina! Exceptional family tour with Dina

Becky🇺🇸 United States

20 April 2024

Dina was an absolutely fantastic guide! She took great care to make sure our entire tour was exactly what we wanted. She provided the information so I could buy tickets ahead of time so that we had a seamless experience. She learned what interested us so that she could highlight those things on our tour of the Uffizi and Accademia. She tailored our lunch selection to us being vegan and checked in regularly to make sure we were having a great time. I highly recommend Dina!! Amazing guide!

We had a great time in Florence with Dina. She showed us the highlights, let us taste the local delicacies, and visited the Uffizzi with us. Not only is she very enthusiastic and informative, but also as a person she is very relaxed and friendly. Thank you for showing us around!That was fun!

Fareed🇺🇸 United States

8 April 2024

4 hrs with Dina wasn’t enough and left us all wanting more! Dina was extremely engaging - thoughtful - and we loved her microphone - ear piece setup that made the day so easy to follow despite the “battlefield of tourists” we experienced at Uffizi and Academia on a Saturday. We learned so much - and she explained her favorite things that provided us a much deeper appreciation for key pieces of work from Michelangelo and other artists. Dina made all of us wanting to come back to Florence and learn more - about how art, politics, religion and commerce all intertwined here. Delightful and lively art and history tour

Marcia🇺🇸 United States

14 March 2024

We had a great tour with Dina. She took us to the Duomo, Accademia (David) and the Uffizi Museum during a 5 hour tour. She pointed out a number of sites along the way and even accommodated our request to stop at a wine window! She is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and gave us just enough information that we could understand the importance of the areas visited without getting too technical. Highly recommend!All the Sites in One Day

Julie🇺🇸 United States

We booked Dina for a Florence Highlights tour. There were 8 of us, and Dina kept us engaged and entertained for hours. She was funny, helpful, and charming! She helped us understand the history and importance of the art we were seeing. She also went the extra mile by recommending a fabulous place for lunch. But there was more! She recommended another restaurant for us to visit the next day and made a reservation for us! I can’t praise Dina enough for all her efforts. Her guidance made our trip so very memorable! Wonderful experience!

Dina has a friendly exuberant personality. She is helpful and very knowledgable and we enjoyed our tour with her thoroughly. We did not have enough time to cover the Uffizi in depth so we were really bumped about it as we felt it would have been so much more beneficial if we had her insights on some of the more important artworks and paintings. It was really a lot of info to take in to be honest so I would recommend doing the Uffizi first when your mind is fresh and alert. Just my opinion. Also we had to climb the dome at a specified time slot so that ate away an hour of our tour time. A Passionate and friendly Guide

Julie🇦🇺 Australia

23 September 2023

We had a fabulous half day walking tour in Florence with Dina. She met us right on time and we instantly liked her. Her warm energy instantly made us feel like we'd made the right choice. We are a family of 8 ranging in age from 7-61yrs. Dina tailored the tour to our preferences and we enjoyed the highlights of the Academia and Uffizi galleries as well as other interesting stops and a week earned delicious gelato. Dina gave us some restaurant recommendations that were excellent and we really felt like we covered the important sites in a limited amount of time. Thanks Dina for making our time in Florence so memorable. Fun in Florence with fabulous Dina

Evan🇺🇸 United States

23 September 2023

We had an awesome tour with Dina of The Uffizi & The Academia. She was very knowledgeable & her enthusiasm for Michelangiolo was contagious. She was very upbeat & personable. She put us right as ease immediately. Such a great people person. She picked a perfect little place for lunch with awesome meats, cheeses & breads. We enjoyed her company very much during the lunch. She made great restaurant recommendations. If we ever make it back to Florence we would definitely book another tour with her. Awesome Tour Guide

Judy🇺🇸 United States

15 September 2023

We booked a 5 hour City Highlights tour with Dina and we couldn’t have been happier. She worked with us prior to our arrival to customize our tour so that we saw the places we were most interested in. Her knowledge of the history of Florence was incredible and the manner in which she passed on the information was interesting and fun. She also gave us some great recommendations for restaurants. We’ve already tried one and are headed to the second one this evening! There were two couples in our private tour and we would highly recommend Dina for any Florence tour!!Judy

We had two tours with Dina which were both fun & informative, even better as her dog Nala joined us for the walking tour. Would highly recommend!Florence in all its glory

First time in Florence, bringing a 9-yr old, 100+ temps, what could go wrong? Thank goodness for Dina. Our tour was awesome and all of us had a wonderful experience. Dina was the best and kept our son (and us parents too) engaged the entire time. Dina was unbelievably knowledgeable and made our short visit to Florence a complete joy. Amazing Experience with Dina

Christian🇺🇸 United States

19 August 2023

Dina was fantastic at every step of the tour. She showed us all sorts of amazing sites, and was obviously incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the city. She hooked us up with great gelato and lunch as well. Most importantly, she was so kind to, and patient with our kids, 7 and 11. Our son, who is on the spectrum, is very talkative; Dina was so kind and accommodating while still giving us an amazing tour. I'd love to go back and have her show us more of Florence!An Amazing Day in Florence

Eileen🇺🇸 United States

26 July 2023

We were so fortunate to have Dina be our guide in Florence to visit the Accademia and Uffizi. My family of two adults, two sons (ages 14 and 10) had so much fun and learned a lot. Dina gives just the right amount of information to be engaging and insightful, but not so much that we were overloaded. She navigated the museums with ease (through the crowds), had headsets for us to all be able to hear, and suggested a great place for lunch. She also gave us a little info about what we would see in Rome, that helped us understand the connection of the art - so helpful! My family liked Dina the most of all the guides we had in Italy. Great day out!

Anna🇦🇺 Australia

14 July 2023

Dina was such a great guide! From the get go she was responsive in her communications with us and kept us in the loop of any changes to the itinerary. We had 5 kids in our tour and she did well in accomodating to their needs and keeping them interested for the duration of the tour with facts and questions. It was a great introduction to Florence! Highly recommend. Thanks Dina !! Such a memorable tour!

Vlad🇺🇸 United States

Dina was a great guide for our family. Very knowledgeable! You can tell that she loves Florence and loves her job!! I would hire her again and again for more Florence tours!!Great city and great guide!!

Dina delivered an experience that was above and beyond all our expectations. She was highly knowledgeable of art, history, food, and even shopping. Our daughter has celiac so finding food can be quite difficult… She not only found us an amazing lunch venue, but called ahead and booked seats for us. She helped make the day seamless. You feel like you’re apart of her family! If I would have known she was going to so amazing, I would have booked her for all our tours in Florence. Best tour experience we’ve had

Lisa🇺🇸 United States

13 May 2023

My journey to get to our tour has taken 9 months. I am quite a planner and wanted something special in Florence as we have never visited and only had several days. I reached out to Dina. Over the course of heading into the new year, she messaged me and ask if we would like her to purchase the reservation for Accademia and Ufizzi. I thought that was so nice of her to ask. The closer we got to our tour, she was in contact. She planned the perfect tour for us....Accademia to see David, a wine/food stop in which she gave me two choices and then Ufizzi. I also asked her to meet us at our hotel and she gladly obliged. Our tour was to be 6 hrs. My husband does not appreciate museums so I did inform her of that. So the day before out tour, she reached out to make sure we had appropriate rain gear as it was to rain. She was right on time!! Accademia was amazing, then she took us to the market. What an unexpected surprise. We LOVED it! Then on to lunch then Ufizzi. She called us a taxi to return to our hotel. It seemed like it was only 2 hrs instead of 6. She was always asking about restroom stops or cafe. She was well tuned into the needs of her tour participants. I could go on and on, but if my husband can rave about a museum tour and love how warm, down to earth and knowledgeable Dina was, she has to be simply fantastic!! Thanks again Dina. We are forever grateful Simply the best!!!

Lauren🇺🇸 United States

25 April 2023

Dina was one of the most wonderful guides we have had in over 15 years of travelling. She met us at the Accademia, gave us a great tour of the museum with just the right amount of history/detail. She was excellent at reading our group knowing if we needed a break, a coffee, lunch, more or less history as we did our 6 hour tour, offering us great recommendations for restaurants, other museums, sights to see etc. We sadly ended our tour at the Uffizi Gallery but wished we had more days in Florence so we could have spent more time with her. She even assisted us in booking a for usTaxi from our Air BnB to the airport the next morning. We would highly recommend her to guide your group on any of the tours she offers. You will not be dissappointed. Look no further for a guide in Florence

We very much enjoyed our tour with Dina. It was our first time in Florence and it was a great way to hit the highlights and learn about the city from a local. Dina was great at keeping the tour interesting for our family which included 3 kids (13, 12, and 9). We learned about history, art, and the best places for photos, shopping, pizza and Gelato. A perfect day! Highly recommend!Great tour in Florence!

If you want to discover Florence and feel like you were living the history, pick Dina! She knows how to present the information in the most interesting way. She will tailor it to your likes. we loved that she made time to ask if we had questions. She helped us envision every part of Florentine life in the past. Dina points out so many interesting things it’s difficult to list here. You will leave feeling like you not only understand the history of Florence, the artists and their visions, but also the why behind many events and actions around the world. Couldn’t ask for a better experience! Thank you Dina Engaging and passionate - Dina

Dina is full of knowledge about her city — its history, its art, its architecture, and so crucially, its food!! But what makes Dina so special is that she is full of warmth and joy. She makes it a priority to make your tour exactly what you want and helps you (above and beyond) every step of the way. Dina made our stay in Florence so special and I will recommend her as a guide to everyone I know making a trip to Florence. Dina is an absolute 🌟 star

Dawn

We had an incredible full-day tour of Florence with Dina as our private guide, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our group consisted of two families with four teenagers, and Dina made everything seamless and enjoyable. She was so adaptable, adjusting the tour on the fly to meet everyone's needs. Her knowledge of Florence’s history and art was outstanding, and we truly appreciated the insights she shared. Dina's English was perfect, making it easy for us all to understand and communicate with her. We highly recommend Dina—she allowed us to maximize our short time in Florence! 100% would recommend!We had a wonderful time with Dina!

Dina was the best! We booked a Highlights and hidden gems tour in Florence for my husband and 2 kids 15/13. Dina was truly awesome. Communication was fantastic pre tour and during - she provided us with so many fun facts and interesting stories. (Ones you can’t google!) We saw sights, learned the history and her restaurant knowledge is A+. Dina was so easy to be with, very personable and fun. She is also so kind and super helpful. My daughter, 13 missed the tour because she was sick. Dina had checked in with me to see how she was doing and if we needed anything. Wow! How incredibly thoughtful. Dina goes above and beyond. Don’t hesitate i highly recommend booking with Dina!!Best tour and guide! So interesting & fun!

We had a tour of Florence with Dina and from the moment we met, I knew we’d made the right choice. Dina is a rare combination of passionate, deeply knowledgable, charming and funny. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is thinking of doing anything with a local in Florence.

It was a pleasure to have the city tour with Dina! She was insignthful, explained the history well, with a sense if humor that kept our teens engaged and curious. The tour was very helpful for us to understand the history, the monuments and the hidden tresors of Florence. Dina also shared her local recommendations for restaurants and shops. We recommend completely and heartfully!Amazing city tour!

Michael🇬🇧 United Kingdom

6 December 2024

We have just returned from our trip to Florence and wanted to say thank you to Dina for our tour of the artisans of Florence. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and it was interesting to see both some old techniques and also an innovative new approach keeping the artisan tradition alive. In addition, what we saw on our tour gave us a deeper appreciation of what we saw subsequently in the Medici Chapel the following day. Our tour also involved cappuccino, panettone and ice cream which is always a good formula! We would have no hesitation in recommending Dina if you want to find out more about the renaissance city. Fascinating , Informative and Fun!

Peter🇷🇸 Serbia

17 November 2024

Dina is a wonderful guide. Her knowledge of the Medici family and the history of Florence is exceptional. I went on two tours with her and both were great. Dina contacted me well before my arrival to ask any information or help that I might need and continuously was in contact during my stay. She even communicated with other guides of tours that I took to ensure the experience I received was not overlapped. She helped me with recommendations to local restaurants and boutique artisan shops. She is generous and exceptionally well organised. I have a genuine respect for Dina and I am grateful and satisfied with her as a guide: Highly recommended Excellent experience

Nicole🇺🇸 United States

14 November 2024

Dina was so kind and wonderful! She knew I had been to Florence before and detailed the tour to my needs. Plus she also gave me some local tips!! She made me feel like a friend walking through her favorite city. Don’t wait to book with her JUST DO IT!!!Great tour on my 1st day in Florence.

Tricia🇬🇧 United Kingdom

7 November 2024

I have used with locals in other cities in Europe and they always provide great guides. Dina was no exception. I love the fact that you have contact to your guide prior to your trip. Dina responded to questions about restaurants choices even before we met. The Uffizi and the Accedemia are really busy. There are many group tours and tons of bodies. Dina's knowledge of what to look at and how to avoid crowds was very helpful. Having a personal touch to the tour is paramount. You need a knowledgeable, enthusiastic professional, or you will be lost and overwhelmed. Dina was all that and more. Thank you for a great day.A great museum experience

Stephen🇺🇸 United States

30 October 2024

Dina weaves the stories of art, history, culture and even the flavors of Florence into a masterpiece herself. The passion she has for her city and her ability to bring it all to her guests in an engaging and interactive way is magical. She invites curiosity and gives answers well beyond a tour book guide or script. She brings the Firenze she so passionately loves to vivid life. You could spend hours or multiple days with Dina and only want to explore more of this beautiful city with its rich history, art and culture. I can’t recommend Dina more highly. Bringing art & history of Florence to life
