Tour With Ana - A True Gem of Florence
I am so grateful that I had a tour with Ana today in Florence. Not only is she able to clearly explain the real treasures and history of Florence, she is obviously very passionate about this amazing city, it's history and culinary delights.
The unexpected bonus was that I really enjoyed our conversations about life from someone living here and will remember it forever - I feel that I will definitely be back to Florence 🙏

Loved Cristina
Cristina was really entertaining, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about Florence and its complicated history. The detail in which she explained the way Michelangelo created David was amazing! She made the statue come to life! If you travel to Florence do yourself a favor and book a tour With Locals. We saw other visitors at the museum just aimlessly wandering and I know they missed a lot. We felt very lucky to have had Cristina as our guide.

Great Intro to Florence
I have been to Florence many times but was traveling with friends that had never been. I wanted to give them a good intro to the city, so I asked Dina to design an itinerary including the Uffizi.
Dina is a fun and knowledgeable guide. I learned some new rhings and my friends very much enjoyed their tour. I would highly recommend booking Dina as your guide in Florence.
