Private Guided Tour Of Hidden Symbols In Santa Maria Novella

We met Sonia seven years ago, when we visited Florence with our children. That experience was so extraordinary that, upon returning to this wonderful city now with some friends, it was crystal clear to us that we wanted to repeat with her. And what a great choice! Sonia is an absolutely exceptional professional. Her knowledge of the history, art, and culture of Florence is impressive, but what truly makes her special is her extraordinary ability to convey it. She manages to make every corner come to life, every story captivate you, and time fly by. And all this with a naturalness, friendliness, warmth, and sense of humor that turn the visit into an unforgettable experience. She doesn't just show you Florence: she makes you understand it, enjoy it, and fall even more in love with it. She knows how to combine historical rigor with anecdotes, curiosities, and those little details that you would never discover on your own. And, above all, Sonia is a charming person. One of those people who makes you feel like you're discovering the city with a good friend, rather than being accompanied by a guide. Seven years later, she hasn't just kept the bar high: she has surpassed it again! If you go to Florence, don't hesitate for a second. Sonia is the guide we would all want to find in every city we visit. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sonia. Until the third time, which is sure to come!

It has been a wonderful experience discovering Florence with Sonia! We spent two days visiting the city with her, and without a doubt, we would recommend her to any traveler who wants to know Florence in a different and enriching way. She knows a lot about history, particularly about Florence, and has a great ability to convey her knowledge in a very educational, clear, and concise manner. She made us look at the city with new eyes and understand its history and beauty better. Thank you!

Visiting Florence with Sonia has been very entertaining, has always been very friendly and has told us many things that without a guide like her we would not have known on our own.

Sonia gave us a tour of the historic center of Florence. It was a fantastic, very interesting and enjoyable visit for adults and children. I highly recommend it.

It was a great experience where I felt the need to know more about Florence, thank you very much Sonia.

Sonia is an excellent guide who dedicated a full day and made us extremely enjoyable imbuing us in the Medici world and transporting us to the Florentine Renaissance.

From our short but intense visit to this wonderful city of Florence our guide Sonia stands out. With a very broad knowledge of everything related to the city, its colloquial and enjoyable way of transmitting it, has made both our teenage children and us, have enjoyed this experience very much. If we go back to this city, it'll be the first call we'll make, no doubt about it.

It has been a 10 experience! Thanks to it we have observed the Palazzo Vechio with the eyes of the Renaissance. Sonia is a charmer and especially transmits her love to what for me is the most beautiful city in the world. With it you see details that would go unnoticed, palatial anecdotes and dive into the historical context that is also very important. We will definitely repeat with her. We're already Cosimo team! Thank you Sonia!

Sonia is a wonderful guide. He took us by the hand through several places in Florence in an illustrated and entertaining tour for our minor children. Highly recommended.

It was fantastic. Sonia is a real expert. Amena and super professional. All the details in the Palazzo Vecchio and in Santa Maria Novella, plus a very extensive information and details of Florence and Florence history in general. A luxury to have as your guide!

I couldn't have been in better hands to visit and enjoy the city of Florence. Thank you Sonia for your professionalism, kindness and great knowledge of mythology. It's been a real pleasure having you as a guide. We will return and will definitely continue to discover this beautiful city together.

Sonia is a fantastic and professional Spanish guide. We hired the private tour choosing to enter with her the Uffizi Museum and Academy. Both the quality and clarity of the explanations about the history of the city, in works of art / its artists, curiosities of the streets of the city, recommendations for the rest of the trip... made our family trip allow us to appreciate and enjoy much more the artistic and historical importance of Florence.

A wonderful visit with Sonia as Guide proved a unique experience full of knowledge in simple and enriching language!! Super recommended!! 10 out of 10

Sonia is amazing! A super enjoyable private guided tour with interesting information. It flew past us. We will definitely repeat!

Yesterday afternoon my family and I were very lucky to visit the historic center of Florence next to what is sure to be one of the best tour guides in the area. We did a route of about two hours with Sonia who explained the history of the city, its sculptures, its architecture and a lot of anecdotes about Florence, its inhabitants and customs. My kids really enjoyed themselves. And we really do too! Thank you so much, Sonia. We will repeat for sure!!!

Our first experience with Sonia dates back to 2015. The second one now in 2024 and choosing it again is already indicative of the magnificent impression it left us the first time, more than confirmed and with an added value worthy of a great professional. When we traveled from Rome, only for that visit, the train arrived almost an hour late and was able to explain to the rest of the group the incident to begin the visit with us. Needless to say or say anything else

We have no words to thank Sonia, her company and explanations in all the guided tours we have done (Uffizzi Museum, Academia, Palazzo Vecchio, Church of Santa Mª Novella and tour of the historic center of Florence). We loved the city and its beer... Hahahaha. We recommend her 1000%, she is charming!!!!

Super grateful Sonia! We were able to see all the best in three days. Thanks to the fact that we chose Sonia as our official guide, we were able to take advantage of our time in Florence very well. Thank you

I went with my husband to a beautiful city that he didn't know, I hired Sonia through a colleague and I really loved it. A very prepared guide that has discovered a wonderful Florence for us Of course, when I return to Florence I will call her

We have spent three days in Florence and have taken three guided tours with Sonia. It has been a wonderful experience and totally recommended. Their knowledge, professionalism and friendliness makes the visit very enjoyable and enriching. It has been a real luxury to know Florence with her.
