I can't say enough about how much fun we had with Michele walking around Florence. We learned so much but it wasn't just dry history and dates. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the city, its history and interesting sites. He's also a very entertaining and personable guy. I would highly recommend booking a tour with him.

Spending the afternoon with Marty at the Uffizi was like being with an old friend. She was friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. She showed us the important paintings and the history of each one. We wanted to see the Caravaggios, which might not have been on her normal “route”, but she made it possible to show them to us. We also went through the Vasari Corridor which was very special to experience. A great tour with someone who was attentive and very much enjoyed art history! Grazie! Uffizi con mi amica

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

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 wonderful tour with Martina. She was very knowledgeable and did a great job giving us context and antidotes about the medieval and renaissance Florence. Incredibly personable and flexible with organizing the tour for us. My kiddo really likes pedestrian bridges and Martina arranged for us to finish up at Ponte Vecchio with a discussion of it so that when we parted ways we could further explore that area. She also gave us suggestions for lunch restaurants with good vegan options. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better tour or guide. Martina was Fabulous

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

My wife and I met up with Maja in the morning at a square and strolled around Florence like friends on a walk. We had specified we did not need her to guide us thru museums and such, just the streets and the history. The morning was a delight and Maja was open to any possibility. Perfect morning in Florence

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.

Michele was Amazing! We cannot praise him enough for his incredible personalised tour of Florence. Through the eyes of this knowledgeable and delightfully friendly local expert, we experienced many of the famous historical sights that depict the splendour of this beautiful city. But perhaps best of all, we were treated to a heartwarming sense of the real essence of Florence through its local people and its lesser visited places, where local culture abounds. Thank you Michele for memories that will last a lifetime!The beating heart of Florence

Kurz nach unserer Ankunft hat uns Maja auf einen spannenden Stadtrundgang mitgenommen. Wir wurden zu den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten geführt und erhielten dort spannende Informationen, welche in keinem Reiseführer zu finden sind. Neben den profunden kunsthistorischen Kenntnisse von Maja hat uns auch ihre aufgestellte und sympathische Art überzeugt.Kompetent und sympathisch!

Es war eine besondere Führung durch Florenz, weil Maja uns „ihre“ Stadt mit spürbarer Leidenschaft und viel Herz zeigte. Es war kurzweilig, auch, weil sie auf uns einging, ob wir Fragen hatten oder an einem Ort länger verweilen wollten. Ich kann Maja nur empfehlen.Stadtführung mit Leidenschaft

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!
