Better than most tours of Florence
I like that Elisabetta was able to tell the stories of Florentines from medieval times to contemporary history. She knew a lot about culture, food and neighborhood hidden gems. I have been to Florence countless times and Elisabetta was able to show me new things. I highly recommend!

Una Splendida Giornata!
My husband and had a great day going to San Gimignano with Fabio. From pick up at our hotel in Florence to drop off, everything was wonderful. If you want to take a private day trip to this beautiful hilltop town known for its towers, don’t hesitate to use WithLocals and book with Fabio. He is knowledgeable, enjoyable to be with and kind enough to speak to me in Italian so I could practice mine!
