A Must Do Tour with Mechele!
Michele is the most wonderful tour guide. We had him for two tour experiences and this was our first one. He showed us a mixed tour with historical places and the modern Florence. His knowledge and passion for Florence is unsurpassed and was able to answer all our questions. He was engaging and excited to share his beautiful city of Florence with us. We enjoyed the tour immensely and absolutely recommend choosing Michele for this tour.

Perfect Private Tour
Everything about our tour was perfect. The organisational aspects worked perfectly. He was careful of us and courteous at all times.
The tour itself was amazing bringing together those people living in modern Florence and running family businesses with the beauty of the city itself. We felt privileged to meet local people and taste their delicious produce. Everyone was welcoming and proud of the things we rated. Pastries, wine, freshly cooked meat and potatoes in the market, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and delicious Icecream.
With Matteo we covered areas we would never have been on our own. We saw the little hidden gems of the city. In the Basilica di Santo Spirito we saw the beautiful Christ on the Cross in its planned setting - magnificent!!
We will definitely come back

Knowledgeable & Passionate about Florence
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.
