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.

Cristina provided an enjoyable, informative tour of the Uffizi. She provided a history of the Medici family and gave a good background to the city of Florence. She did a great job curating the art and focusing our visit. I’d highly recommend a tour with Cristina

Fabulous tour!
Our tour with Laura was all we could ask for. It was informative and interesting and gave us an insight into the sense of florentine humour. We learned about the crossroad icons and the fizzy drinking fountain. Laura was very good company and fun to talk to. A great experience all round. I would recommend her and taking the tour. With locals coming out top again!

A delightful walk with Chiara
Chiara gave the three of us an informative and entertaining history lesson as we explored Florence together. Her English is excellent, that paired with her pleasant demeanor and friendly personality make her the ideal guide.
