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

Despite the intense heat Mara gave us a fun and informative rapid overview of beautiful Florence. She was funny, patient, flexible, accommodating and made certain we saw all the necessary highlights. Perfect for families and anyone who loves food, wine and some off the beaten path history. Amazing guide!

We spent our first 3 hours in Florence with Vesela, and it was a great experience. She was very informative, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Florence with her. She even gave us some restaurant recommendations before and after our tour to accommodate our dietary restrictions!

Martina was far and away the best tour guide we’ve had. She showed us little hidden gems throughout the city that we would never have noticed. She tied in history with the art and context to bring it all alive. She was excited to show us the city and modify her plan to accommodate our wishes. Fantastic tour and guide. Florence with Martina

I can not say enough about what an amazing 3 hours I experienced with Federica. She made my short solo trip to Florence memorable, informative and friendly. Her knowledge of history and art is notable and I felt like I could have talked to her all day. I suggest booking with her in the beginning of your trip because she gave me excellent recomendations for other things to do. I will be back to experience more of Florence with Federica.Federica is the guide to choose

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

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

Cristina came recommended, and rightfully so. We booked our tour a few months out and had ample opportunity to discuss with her about our requests, for example what to do with kids in Florence. We spend about 6 hours walking through the city, with the kids (and us) engaged the whole time. From the highlights (when was this build, what building is that) to more modern angles (eateries, artisan places etc.). All in all highly recommended.Must book if in Florence

My family and I had a very enjoyable 3 hours with Mara. She was chatty, friendly and fun, and did a great job of asking us lots of questions so she could tailor our tour. She showed us lots of surprising hidden gems that we would not otherwise have found and gave us many recommendations of places to visit by ourselves- all of which proved spot on. We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a relaxed and informed tour around the less obvious parts of the city. Chatty, friendly, full of local knowledge

Eduardo was the highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we met, his warmth, professionalism, and deep local knowledge transformed a great tour into something unforgettable. Every detail was thought through — timing, atmosphere, storytelling — and he made everyone feel welcome and special. 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. This wasn’t just a tour — it was a memory we’ll carry for life.Eduardo You Rock

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!

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.

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.

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!

Andrea was an absolutely commensurate guide. My mom and I had the best time on a private 2 hour tour with him. My favorite part was his enthusiasm for Florence and sharing its history with visitors. He answered every question asked with acumen and panache. At the end of the tour he gave us his contact so we could be in touch with any questions we had about Florence afterwards, or ask for recommendations, and thoroughly responded to every message we sent.
Andrea makes Firenze a pleasure to experience and I’d recommend him to anyone visiting the city. Enthusiastic Guide Makes Florence Shine

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!

Within minutes of meeting us, Antonina switched gears to personalize our little tour to match our personalities. We wanted to try authentic and humble food away from the crowds. It was delicious! She took us through a section of Florence where we were able to see a lot of street art, based on what she saw us taking pictures of. She matched our need for a faster pace, so that we could see more. We were enchanted by her, and would have loved to spend the rest of the day with her!Personality and Heart

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.
