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!

My husband, son (8 yrs) and I had a great time learning about the different crafts from Dina and seeing first hand demonstrations! She chose four very different artisans for us to meet, all of whom were very generous with their time. I only wish we could’ve done more tours with Dina!Awesome Artisans!

We had a wonderful afternoon with Dina, visiting several artisan shops, where old world crafts are still done in traditional ways. The artisans were generous with their time, talent and knowledge. We got a beautiful, rare and interesting glimpse of Florence and met with people who keep the passion for art and creativity alive in this amazing City. Dina’s relationships with these artists and her passion for preserving these skills and traditions enriches the entire experience. The tour was absolutely amazing.A rare glimpse of Florence

Tours, dinners, experiences…we had an incredible time and wish Dina could do everything with us! She is charming, passionate about her native Florence, and wonderful with kids and adults alike. She led us on an unforgettable excursion we would never have experienced on our own. I cannot say enough lovely things about her!Evwrything should be with Dina!

Dina toured us around Florence. We saw Dave and spent a lot of the time at the Duomo. We learned so much about the city, the duomo and the Dave. Dina also pointed out the a great panini shop. I would highly recommend her to anyone.Great Guide

We (Me, wife and 2 daughters) took Dina’s tour and it was fantastic!. Dina knew exactly where to takes us and avoid the waiting on the long lines of every museum. Dina has a lot of knowledge and explained everything, it was wonderful!Best tour ever

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!

Lisa🇺🇸 United States

We traveled to Italy for our first time ever! We booked Dina for two tours in Florence. We love how flexible and informative she was in curating an itinerary for both days of our tours. The shorter tour we booked "Where the Locals Go" and she truly shared her favorite coffee shop, shops, and food places (and why they were her favorites) for example. On our longer tour we visited more historical places but every stop Dina had so much knowledge and insight to why and how those historic monuments/places came to be. My husband and I feel like we took an Italian history class in two days. Plus her English is excellent! More importantly she's truly passionate about her city and her love for it is imminent during her tours. Dina is a lovely tour guide and we feel so blessed to have had her as our first tour guide into the heart of Florence!Dina was AMAZING!

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!

We really enjoyed our tour with Dina. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and got the children engaged as much as possible. We did the tour as soon as we arrived in Florence to get our bearings which was a great idea. Great way to discover Florence

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!

Dina's tour of David at the Accademia and the Duomo was the best tour of our trip to Italy. Dina is extremely knowledgeable of all things Florence. This one on one tour was customized to exactly what we wanted and Dina made this a very informative and memorable experience.Best tour of our trip!

Dina was prompt in her communication and was accommodating with our schedule. She had great tour and food recommendations. I would highly recommend Dina for your tour, a real gem for the city of Florence. 5 Stars for Dina

James🇺🇸 United States

26 December 2024

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

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.

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

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

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

We really enjoyed our time with Dina. Book her! She gave us enough information without overwhelming us. She knew several "tricks" to make things go smoother and miss some of the big lines. Dina was on-time at the designated location. She was professional and very knowledgeable. Great choice! Great Experience

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!

Dina was so lovely and knowledgeable. She has her own approach to how she teaches you about the the works we toured which was so fascinating to learn about. She has a mastery of understanding about the history and she shares her love and appreciation of it. On top of that Dina is so friendly and engaging. She made us feel at home in Firenze by also giving us some tips for other things to do during our stay. She’s the best! Amazing experience

Nicole🇺🇸 United States

11 August 2024

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 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

We met up with Dina on our first full day in Florence for her Highlights of the Accademia and the Uffizi tour, and we had an amazing time! She gave us a tour experience that was both informative and fun. Her passion for her city shines through in her stories, recommendations, and the way she answered all our questions. She is extremely knowledgeable about the art we saw - it makes such a big difference to visit these fascinating places with someone who can explain what you're looking at because it helped us appreciate the experience even more. By the end of the tour, I was very interested in learning even more about Italian art and history! The entire experience was like visiting a friend, and we would love to spend some more time with Dina when we return to Florence. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Italy - highest recommendation!Dina rocks!

We had booked a Highlights of the Uffizi Tour, and it was not only that but the highlight of my entire holidays. Dina is super knowledgeable about the paintings we got to see, and made us understand art so much more personally than any audio guide could have achieved. Wonderful hours forever in our memories. Grazie mille Dina! Wonderful experience
