This was our second tour with Federica and we would join her again the next time we are in town. She is highly knowledgeable about the history and art of Florence. We definitely would recommend Frederica!

We spent our first 3 hours in Florence with Vesela, and it was a great experience. She was very informative, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Florence with her. She even gave us some restaurant recommendations before and after our tour to accommodate our dietary restrictions!

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

It’s so personal which makes it awesome the food recommendations and the local spots for wine have been awesome and worth the many steps!!
