(About local Dina)

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

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.

(About local Cristina)

12 September 2025

We had an incredible experience on our "With Locals" tour in Florence with Cristina! Our group included three adults (my mother, my wife, and myself) and our two young children (ages 6 and 8), and Cristina was absolutely amazing with all of us. She made the history and beauty of Florence come alive in such an engaging and accessible way—especially for our kids. Cristina went out of her way to include them, keep their attention, and make the tour fun and interactive for them. They were captivated the entire time. Cristina is extremely knowledgeable, easy to understand, and full of great stories and insights. She struck the perfect balance between historical detail and engaging storytelling, and she tailored the experience beautifully to suit our family's pace and interests. We truly wish we had booked more tours with her. Cristina helped make our time in Florence unforgettable, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!Fantastic Family Tour

We had an amazing time with Omar in *his* neighborhood, Sant’Ambrogio. He was born and raised here, and you could feel that all day - proud of the neighborhood and happy to share it with others. The places we visited were unique and definitely not the typical tourist spots, which made the experience even more special. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and flexibility also deserve a mention. Highly recommended!A fantastic time in Firenze

(About local Michele)

11 September 2025

Michele’s knowledge of the history of the renaissance as it applied to the Medici family and the leading artists of the time was presented in an engaging and understandable manner. Metal pictures of the events could be conjured up with his excellent narration. This was perhaps enhanced by both his art history background and his acting abilities to present both a factual as well as an engaging picture of the times. All questions were responded to and thoroughly answered. We thoroughly enjoyed the time with Michele and wish him all the best in his future. Thank you ever so much for a most enjoyable and educating afternoon!Vivid mental pictures of art & Medici Era

9 September 2025

What a great time with Maja who accommodated our time restraints and especially our need for pizza! We had all visited Florence in the past and looked at all the beautiful sights, but we lacked understanding of the city, its history and its people. And most of all, the hidden things that are sometimes in plain sight, like the secure passageway between Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. It was a fun, insightful tour and Maja was very generous and also curious about us Canadians! Grazie Maja!A better understanding of Firenze

We went on the 10 tastings of Florence tour with Georgio. You should choose Geegio for many good reasons. He planned a great tasting tour for us - quite many different experiences and the Gelato in the end was incredible. Further he is both knowledgeable about the city, entertaining, curious about our country, funny and really good company. It almost felt like hanging out with a friend of ours. Time flies in the company of Georgio

Matteo was an excellent guide with a great sense of humour. We really enjoyed his vast knowledge of the paintings and the history of the city. He took the time to explain details of the art that we would have otherwise missed. Matteo was also extremely helpful recommending restaurants, bars and specific shops. Our 3 hour tour lasted much longer and it was worth every single minute. Great morning in Florence

I’ve had historical tours in countless cities. Further, this was my fifth visit to Firenze. Despite my knowledge of the city and the numerous tours that be taken, Matteo provided the best historical tour I’ve ever experienced. Matteo tied together history and sites over an extended period of time with interesting and memorable stories. He is kind, smart and incredibly knowledgeable. Could not more highly recommend the tour and Matteo!A tremendous tour of history and sites

Martina was an excellent guide. She is a professional tour guide and well trained. We appreciate that she is from Florence and really knows the city. She gave us a great mix of culture and history. We had a nice leisurely pace and never felt rushed. Her English was strong and easy to understand. She showed us some hidden gems. Unlike some tour guides that take you to places where they get a kickback, she clearly did not do that. We strongly recommend her for tours of all ages. Excellence

(About local Ana)

26 August 2025

Ana gave us an unforgettable tour of Florence that went far beyond the usual sights. On a sweltering August Sunday, she skillfully navigated us away from the crowded tourist hubs and into the quiet, tucked-away corners of the old town—places even a repeat visitor like me had never seen. Her deep knowledge and thoughtful pacing made the city feel fresh and intimate. The food experience was a true highlight. Ana introduced us to local culinary treasures—charming spots tucked into alleyways and behind unassuming doors—each offering a taste of authentic Florentine flavor. From savory bites to sweet indulgences, every stop felt like a secret shared just with us. She also gave us fantastic recommendations for continuing our exploration on our own, pointing us toward local restaurants and hidden gems we would’ve easily missed. Thanks to Ana, we left Florence not just with beautiful memories, but with a deeper connection to the city’s soul. Mille grazie, Ana!A Hidden Florence Gem with Ana

Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but made the experience fun, enjoyable and that we were getting a 1:1 tour and not just verbatim from a script. She has such a love and passion for the city and the entire Italian culture that comes through during her tour. Anyone looking for a fun, kind, and informative tour, HIRE Virginia.

Maja made our day! Her warm welcome and beautiful smile kicked off our experience pretty well. We’ve visited Palazzo Vecchio which we knew already… or that’s what we thought :) Maja made us see it from the Medicis’ perspective, as if it was a travel in time! What a journey!!! Then we went to the Offices and Maja did a super job in taking us right away through the best pieces of artwork… Our time couldn’t be best managed! We recommend Maja not just for her cultural and historical knowledge, but also for her charming company and joyful spirit. Aline, Naomi and RichardA fabulous experience !

(About local Ana)

11 August 2025

My husband and I had the best time on this tour! Ana was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and showed us some spots we definitely would not have found on our own. While it was very hot and the timing of our tour was not ideal, as we were visiting in August and a lot of places were closed for the summer vacation, Ana filled the time seamlessly and gave us plenty of different options, keeping us in the shade whenever possible and getting us cold and refreshing drinks to fend off the heat. We learned a ton about the city, ate some of the most delicious and authentic food either of us had ever tasted, drank delicious wines, and finished off the tour with refreshing gelato. Ultimately, we don’t feel as though we missed out on anything due to closures and the heat was well worth it for the experience Ana delivered! Highly recommend! Ana was the best!

Eduardo was a fantastic tour guide. He was patient with our large group ranging from age 3 to age 82. We spent 5 hours with him and saw so much of Florence. He also was wonderful with recommending other things to do and see during our stay. We would highly recommend Eduardo; he even mentioned he could do trips to Siena and other cities. His background as a history teacher added so much interesting color to the tour as well. Definitely book him if you are looking for a local guide! Awesome tour of Florence!

Ana is lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting her. She was warm, friendly and helpful, she even offered to help if we had any queries during the rest of our stay. It was an expensive activity for what you get. The beignets, meats, cheese, bread, wines, biscuits and gelato were delicious, however the pizza was terrible. It was lovely to chat with someone who has made Florence her home. Ana also accommodated our quirks (one vegetarian, one with a nut allergy, one that doesn’t drink). An enjoyable activity for all the family to do together. Ana is lovely
