Mara was wonderful. She took us to some hole in the wall locations with fantastic food and friendly locals. She educated us on what is authentic and fake and how to find the best options for local flavors. She was also extremely considerate to our slow moving group. Friendly and knowledgeable guide

Mara was fantastic. We booked our tour with her only 24 hours before it started. When we met her, we sat down, with a glass of wine of course, and she quickly devised a food, wine, history tour. She took us to real local places with wonderful food and people. Along the way she showed us interesting things that most tourists will never see. Visiting a wine window (and having her explain why they exist) and the finish at an awesome gelato shop wrapped up a fantastic overview of Florence. Florence Food and Fun!

Mara was informative and friendly and really went out of her way to make sure that we experienced the Florence food. She also had lots of useful tips for spending time in Florence. I would recommend using Mara as your Florence guide.

We booked the 2 hour private tour with a local guide. I highly recommend this tour. Our guide Mara with "City Unscripted" was very knowledgeable and took us to areas of Florence that we would not have ventured to on our own. She made recommendations for things for us to do on our own and places to eat that were not in touristy part of Florence.We booked the 2 hour private tour with a local guide.
