Unforgettable Experience
Gianni was the highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we met, his warmth, professionalism, and deep local knowledge transformed a great tour into something unforgettable. Every detail was thought through — timing, atmosphere, storytelling — and he made everyone feel welcome and special. You can feel how passionate he is about what he does, and it shines through every minute. If you’re looking for a truly authentic, world-class experience, look no further. This wasn’t just a tour — it was a memory we’ll carry for life. Thank you, Gianni!

Outstanding food tour
We were a family group of five adults, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time
with Christy. As we are not drinkers and I communicated this with her ahead of time, she substituted wine tasting with addition food tastings. We loved everything we tasted, from pastries with coffee to sandwiches. She had a great relationship with all the vendors, especially at the market. My son who is a “foodie” describes
the tour as epic, and said it was the best he’s ever taken!

Christina made our trip special
On our visit to Florence we wanted to know all we could about the Medici family and their influence on Florence. We decided a private tour was the way to go and we got extremely lucky when we found Christina. She was patient, kind, very knowledgeable and thorough. We did not do the Pitti Palace but did everything else. She listened to what we wanted to do and incorporated that into what we also asked her to include using her knowledge and judgement. We communicated before the tour and never once did she hesitate to answer our questions and concerns. Get lucky like we did. Christina rocks!!

Fabulous, tailored day
Well, my tour couldn’t have gone better! It was totally tailored to me, as I wanted a mix of artisanal makers, food and drink. Dina was lovely and we chatted naturally as we meandered around the streets of Firenze, she introduced me to makers creating stunning, one-off artisanal pieces. I loved watching the process (and buying some beautiful things)! There were sweet treats and surprises along the way! And I feel I know the city a little better now. A wonderful wonderful tour, that felt like a mooch with a friend in the know!
