(About local Maja)

23 July 2025

Maja and I communicated prior to meeting regarding tickets, and logistics. We met on time (yay!) at the designated spot, and Maja was friendly and got to know us a bit before heading into the Accademia. She was very knowledgable and we visited the most important and interesting things there. On the walk from the Accademia to the Uffizi, Maja gave us a bit of a walking tour, and pointed out historical and interesting facts, but also chatted with us about our lives and her own. It was really nice to make a connection. At the Uffizi, again, we touched on the highlights and learned a lot - she also got to know what the most interesting things were for our family and made sure she customized based on this. She was incredibly accommodating, friendly, knowledgable and we had a GREAT time!Maja was GREAT!

(About local Giorgio)

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

26 July 2025

Our experience with Dina was truly exceptional — one of the best guided tours I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she took the time to create a customized itinerary that thoughtfully considered the diverse ages and walking abilities in our group. Her deep knowledge of Florentine history, combined with her engaging storytelling, brought the city to life in a meaningful and memorable way. Dina has a warm, friendly, and patient presence that made everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. She masterfully blended historical insight with modern-day context, helping us understand Florence not just as a museum city, but as a living, evolving place. The use of audio earpieces was a thoughtful touch, ensuring that all eight of us could hear her clearly despite the hustle and bustle around us. I’ve used WithLocals for several years across many countries, and I can say with confidence that Dina has been the best guide we've had. Her preparation, passion, and personal touch made our time in Florence unforgettable. I’m already looking forward to returning — and when I do, I won’t hesitate to book another tour with her.Dina Made Firenze Come Alive for Our Group

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.

Giorgio was fantastic. Our group was 13 people including 5 children and Giorgio was extremely flexible and patient with our group. He gave very thoughtful and detailed answers to the questions we had and kept the kids entertained with a treasure hunt. He also had great restaurant recommendations.

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!

(About local Alessia)

4 July 2025

We booked a private Uffizi highlights tour with Alessia for €255. Unfortunately, she never contacted us in advance and only responded when I messaged her the morning of—at which point she canceled, saying she was sick. While we understand that things happen, there was no proactive communication. We also weren’t told that we needed to purchase our own museum admission tickets. The listing states “skip the line access,” so we assumed the tour fee would be paid to the guide. This should be clearly outlined in the tour description and confirmed ahead of time by the guide. Thankfully, Maja stepped in at the last minute and was truly fantastic. She was warm, knowledgeable, and brought the art to life with stories and historical context that made the Uffizi unforgettable. We’d rate Maja a 10 out of 10 and would absolutely recommend her. That said, since Alessia did not communicate proactively or officially transfer the booking, our overall experience with the original guide was a generous 7 of 10.

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

Alessia’s tour was fantastic. The walking search for street art was fun and engaging. Visiting local artists’ studios, talking to the artists, was the perfect way to be introduced to ‘new’ art and we all purchased a few pieces, with commentary from the artists themselves. My students and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We didn’t want it to end.You need to take this tour

(About local Giuly)

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

Francesco’s tours of the Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Gallery were incredibly insightful, informative and memorable. Francesco’s knowledge of history and art are extraordinary and we learned so much about Florence, the “school of the world”, during his fascinating tours. Francesco is an engaging storyteller, and a flexible, accommodating and kind tour guide. We look forward to enjoying more tours with Francesco during future visits to Florence and highly recommend Francesco for any tour of Florence! Brilliant Florentine tour guide!

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

Dina took us on a great tour of the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery. She was very responsive in planning our tour and made adjustments based on what I requested. She was willing to do less than the usual 4 hour tour since we thiught that would be too long for us. Dina was such a great guide that she made our time at the museums one of our favorite activities. She knew just the right pace to go and how much detail to give us to keep it interesting for our group of six. Aside from being so informative she was so fun and easy to be with. We highly recommend Dina!!Fantastic tour of museums with Dina!
