Dina was AMAZING!
We traveled to Italy for our first time ever! We booked Dina for two tours in Florence. We love how flexible and informative she was in curating an itinerary for both days of our tours. The shorter tour we booked "Where the Locals Go" and she truly shared her favorite coffee shop, shops, and food places (and why they were her favorites) for example. On our longer tour we visited more historical places but every stop Dina had so much knowledge and insight to why and how those historic monuments/places came to be. My husband and I feel like we took an Italian history class in two days. Plus her English is excellent! More importantly she's truly passionate about her city and her love for it is imminent during her tours. Dina is a lovely tour guide and we feel so blessed to have had her as our first tour guide into the heart of Florence!
Enjoy Florence highlights in one day!!!

Experienced & Exceptional Guide
Francesco is an exceptional guide with a wealth of experience and knowledge! If you’re planning a trip to Florence, don’t hesitate to book him — you won’t regret it. His expertise in the history of Florence and its art is absolutely outstanding. We had the pleasure of spending the morning with Francesco as he expertly guided my family of four adults through the Uffizi Gallery. His ability to highlight key pieces and provide rich context for the art and its historical significance truly brought the Renaissance to life. Navigating the Uffizi can be overwhelming, with its vast collection and crowds, but Francesco made sure we maximized our time. He knew exactly where to take us, helping us appreciate both the well-known masterpieces and the hidden gems. Francesco’s passion for art and history was contagious. His tour prompted lots of great discussion at the dinner table later that night. His friendly, approachable demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. We are already looking forward to booking him again on future trips to Florence. He’s more than just a guide — he’s a true ambassador for this beautiful city!
