Perfecto
Eduardo, was excellent from the moment we booked on line. Always responded to texts right away, answered questions, guided us through the process of booking tickets.
We met at the perfect time of the day, entered the Uffizi, and were swept up in his in-depth narrative of the history and art we witnessed. We loved our tour, and Eduardo’s perspective. We wished we booked him for all of the museums.

Superb!
Dina shared insights seamlessly combining art, history and local knowledge to keep us enthralled the entire tour. We are an older couple and appreciated her thoughtfulness in shaping the tour to our interests and physical limitations. She knows where all the shortcuts, elevators and WCs are! Our only regret is for not booking other tours with her. Thanks again Dina!
