Andrea was Fantastic!
Andrea gave a great tour yesterday. He knew so much history of Venice and pointed out some things we would have never known otherwise. He was even able to keep our 16 yr old engaged! We enjoyed him and the tour very much!

Amazing Experience with Maja!!
Sometimes in life you meet someone who is just fully engaging in their work...for Maja this is a labor of love. She is extremely knowledgable and forthcoming in her love of Florence and Art. She took very good care of us during our tour to insure we enjoyed a most pleasant experience. She even spend extra time with us to show us a few more things than were scheduled for our tour. An absolutely delightful woman!!

Good time in Florence with Chiara
I met Chiara in front of the impressive palazzo vecchio in Florence. My first time here. According to me, Chiara is a great guide and very enthusiastic about Florence and its treasures. We visited the palazzo vecchio together and Chiara gave an interestig tour in the palace. Afterwards we walked to several places like the Ponte Vecchio.
Definitely to be recommended!
And.. As Chiara comes from Naples originally and I'll go there in June, she will share her recommendations for Naples as well :)
