Maja couldn't make the tour and found us the replacement guide. Maja communicated efficiently and answered all my questions while she took care of the replacement. Our walking tour of Florence with the replacement guide was good overall. The guide communicated efficiently, was punctual, flexible, easy going. Perfect English, no issues with that at all. It just the overall experience with the booking and changes left some disappointment. We never met Maja

Dina is a gem of a guide! So knowledgeable, and despite this not being our first visit to Florence we came away with lots of details we never would have learned on our own. Bonus points for her patience with her sleep deprived clients as well as for slogging through a VERY rainy afternoon with us! Highly recommend!Dina is fantastic

We loved our family tour with Dina. She kept our 6 and 9 year olds entertained for the 2 hour walking tour. Dina is friendly and the stories she told us of Florence we would never have learnt about by ourselves. After hearing our girls liked art and craft she took us into a store where the lady showed us how they do marble paint designs. Then Dina took us to her fav gelato store! We loved our time with Dina, she is brilliant! Grazie Dina!Dina is wonderful!

Our family went on 2 tours with Dina in Florence an had THE BEST time! She is such a fantastic educator-- so knowledgable, engaging and interactive. Our whole family could have listened to Dina all day fully captivated by her stories of the Medici family and Renaissance. Because we went with Dina (and she is a super planner) we were able to see SO MUCH more than we would on a group tour or on our own. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dina!!!Dina is amazing!

Francesco is an exceptional guide with a wealth of experience and knowledge! If you’re planning a trip to Florence, don’t hesitate to book him — you won’t regret it. His expertise in the history of Florence and its art is absolutely outstanding. We had the pleasure of spending the morning with Francesco as he expertly guided my family of four adults through the Uffizi Gallery. His ability to highlight key pieces and provide rich context for the art and its historical significance truly brought the Renaissance to life. Navigating the Uffizi can be overwhelming, with its vast collection and crowds, but Francesco made sure we maximized our time. He knew exactly where to take us, helping us appreciate both the well-known masterpieces and the hidden gems. Francesco’s passion for art and history was contagious. His tour prompted lots of great discussion at the dinner table later that night. His friendly, approachable demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. We are already looking forward to booking him again on future trips to Florence. He’s more than just a guide — he’s a true ambassador for this beautiful city!Experienced & Exceptional Guide

Michele was AMAZING. Super accommodating as we were late due to an unfortunate communication with our driver about which Piazza Della Republicia ….note - there’s more than one in Florence !!! But the tour was everything we’d hoped it would be, lots of great information and story telling which really made everything come alive. Michele also recommends times to see the busiest museums etc. If you’re looking for a tour guide then Michele is our 5* recommendation The Host with the Most

We have been to the Uffizi before, but this is the first time we secured a private tour. Michele was amazing from the first introduction! He was funny, engaging, and brought the art to life with his historical information. We enjoyed the experience so much and would definitely encourage everyone to do this!Pure Gold Uffizi Tour

We booked Dina for a walking tour of Florence on Monday 17 March 2025. She was an excellent guide, providing an overview of the city’s rich history, with insights into its medieval and modern art. We particularly appreciated the local knowledge; bringing us to places off the beaten tourist track. Dina gave us recommendations for lunch and dinner, which were the best meals we had all weekend. We will be recommending her to all of our friends. An excellent Florentine St Patrick’s Day

Dina was the best tour guide we have ever had! She was so knowledgable and made the art and the history surrounding what we saw approachable and enjoyable. I would love to book her for several days just to take me around and show me art and tell me the stories behind them. She was WONDERFUL with our 9 year old daughter. She made it interesting, was engaging and knew when to throw in the gelato break! I could not recommend her high enough! Book it. Amazing afternoon!

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

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

Omar went above and beyond in every way, sharing fascinating stories and information about Milan’s hidden gems as well as its iconic landmarks. What also stood out was his flexibility—our group made several last-minute changes, and Omar accommodated all of them with ease. His positivity and enthusiasm were infectious, and he brought a wonderful energy to the entire experience. It was clear that he genuinely enjoys what he does, which made the tour even more enjoyable for us. If you’re looking for an outstanding guide in Milan, we highly recommend Omar! He made our visit unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for his dedication and warmth. Above and beyond in all ways!
