Private Renaissance Discovery Tour Of Florence

Our tour was very good. Our guide had a very good knowledge of Florence's history which made the tour both enjoyable and entertaining.

Alessandro was amazing, we discovered a new side of Florence and he had a lot of patience with my 90 year old grandma. The information he gave us was really interesting.

It was interesting leaning about the Medici and Pitti families. Also our guide gave us some options to visit after our tour.

Our guide was amazing. She met us at our hotel, and gauged our interests to customize our tour. She guided us through the city providing us with extensive details about the history and timeline of the key city sites. It was a nice pace and hit all the highlights. It completely changed my opinion of the city to see it through a historical lens, as I had been underwhelmed prior to the tour.

Very nice and knowledgeable tour guide, but the tour is a bit too average for the price. It was nice to hear about the city but it was too focussed on general info and fun facts that felt very disjointed rather than a good overview of the history and setting of Florence. We left having seen a lot but knowing very little about the greater history and significance of Florence. Overall, compared to other tours we did in Florence, this one lacked a clear narrative, context, and structure and relies too much on random information about art and architecture.

Manuel was an amazing historical expert to guide us through the city of Florence. He was incredibly accommodating to our schedule and my father’s limited mobility needs. He took us to some major tourist areas and many hidden gems. The final stop for our tour was for some amazing gelato and it just ended the day perfectly. Through it all, he kept our group of 10 organized and was just a warm and kind person to speak with throughout. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Our guide Laura was excellent , spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable. We had already visited Florence fifteen years ago , this walk was perfect to reconnect with the city and all its treasures.

Alessandro, our guide, was outstanding. It was a Monday (the only day we had free), and most of the museums were closed. On top of that it was raining softly all day. This could have - should have - been a nightmare. Alessandro made it a dream. We've had private guided tours all over the world and never had a better tour guide. Alessandro is deeply knowledgeable, and showed us aspects of Renaissance Florence we could have never known were there: secret, hidden doors in walls, coats of arms of rival families, the backstory of so many buildings and bridges; the guilds and artists and patrons - he made Renaissance Florence come alive. Alessandro was not mailing it in. He was attentive and interesting and engaged. None of the pushy, bossy attitude, or the ennui that sometimes infects guides. Can't say enough good things about the guy.

Very entertaining tour with a very motivated guide and with a lot of knowledge. Oh, great. It's called Sylvia. The city is amazing and although there were people we could see it quite well.

She's one of the best guides I've ever encountered. All the explanations were very interesting and best of all it conveys great knowledge and a lot of enthusiasm for the city of Florence. Absolutely recommended.

An extraordinary surprise the visit with Silvia. One of the best guides I've ever met. Has ample knowledge, but also a great Capacity (in covers) to explain it in a pleasant way And also is very friendly and makes the visit very pleasant Anyway, we missed yesterday afternoon very quickly You rating that he likes what he does and that conveys it

Silvia, an exceptional guide. Friendly, cheerful and very very prepared. Florence has taught us with exceptional enthusiasm. Impossible not to repeat. Perfect.

This is a tour to know the essentials of Florence. Silvia, our guide, explained the history and art of this city with great knowledge and enthusiasm that infects us. In conclusion, Sílvia surprised us with a surprise that I do not want to reveal. Definitely 100% recommended.

We have done this tour with Sílvia, an amazing guide! We have learned a lot but above all we enjoyed Florence. It is rating that he enjoys conveying his enthusiasm for the city. Bravo Sílvia!!!
