Our tour of Siena was delightful. Maria, our guide was knowledgeable and eager to show us this beautiful city. We needed to change the start time of our tour and Maria was very flexible in her schedule and was able to accommodate our needs. She was eager to make sure we saw all the important site.

Barbara Grdanicki was a great tour guide. She went out of her way to accommodate us! She took us to all the main attractions plus one we requested. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking to explore Siena.
My wife and I met Gaia on our first full day in Siena in the hopes of seeing and understanding more about the history and culutre of Siena and Tuscany at large. Safe to say we could not have gotten any luckier in connecting with her. Her knowledge, candor, humor and love for this beautiful part of Italy is inspiring. Her willingness and patience to answer our many questions (trust me, there were a lot!) made us feel at home and allowed us to connect with the area in a way that would be impossible in any other setting. If you are in or planning a trip to Siena or Tuscany in general, do yourself a favor and connect with her. It will add a dimension to your travels that would be impossible to acheive on your own. :)
We had an evening tour with Marco. He is awesome! So full of knowledge and is a true student & teacher of art history and the history of Florence. We started at the statue of Dante in front of Santa Croce and began a wonderful tour learning about the different influences found throughout the city. We were super impressed by everything Marco showed us especially the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. We were awestruck with how massive and beautiful the Cathedral is. Marco also gave us many insider tips like the best and oldest gelato shop in town Vivoli. He also recommended a great restaurant that we very much enjoyed, Da Ganino, so good. Thank you for a great tour Marco! We are already planning another trip back and will definitely take another tour with you! Grazie mille!!
We had a fantastic tour with Laura in 2019. She is passionate about her city and she knows many little known facts about it. She took us to places that only locals know about, but also to the famous sites. It was very informative and well worth it.
Michele was great and very personable. He made me feel very comfortable and safe as a female traveling Florence alone for the first time. I felt I could trust him and I did. He was easy to connect with and his passion for Florence made our time pass very quickly. I learned a lot not only about the history of Firenze but he also went out of his way to share with me a number of recommendations of non-touristy places to go which I really enjoyed. I would highly recommend.
Fabio was a terrific host for our Best of Florence: Evening Highlights tour. When we encountered heavy rain and had to seek shelter during the first part of the tour, Fabio offered to resume the tour the next morning during better weather. A special highlight was visiting the medieval district. Fabio was an engaging, knowledgeable, and accommodating host who went the extra mile for us. Please note that this tour occurred in October 2019.
We had such a great experience with Mattia. He is such a kind, warm person and just fun to be around. He took us on a tour of local estate and park we would not have otherwise encountered. It is not on the list of things to do in Florence. It was really interesting and educational. Mattia is super knowledgable and really great as a guide. I can't say enough nice things about him. When in Florence you should definitely book a tour with him.
We booked Matteo for the evening tour of Florence and couldn't have been happier with the time spent! Matteo is proud of his city, rightfully so, and knows all the details great and small about its ancient streets. Matteo took us through the empty nighttime streets where we could easily see the beautiful architecture without dealing with crowds. After a great stop for the perfect gelato and later a nightcap, we ended the tour with Matteo sharing his personal recommendations for where to eat which further sights to see in Florence and even what exhibits to catch or skip at the Uffizi. Truly a complete guide and a great night in Florence!
My husband & I had a wonderful walking tour around Florence with Andrea. He was punctual, professional & personable. It was obvious that he is passionate about the city based upon his knowledge & presentation. He was organized & knew how to skirt around the crowds. He pointed out details that I’m sure no other tour does, as they all appear to be on a race against time. We learned a lot about Florentine history, art & architecture. Don’t try to figure out Florence alone, go with Andrea!
It was a joy to spend two hours with Marco learning about the sights and history of Florence. Marco's enthusiasm for the city and knowledge of art history made for a fascinating introduction. It was a rather cold night, so Marco adapted the itinerary and we ended the evening with a nice, warm drink in a cozy bar.
Our tour guide was Omar I was surprised by the amount of knowledge he has about the history of Florence and the way he tells the stories made us love the city even more. You can never go wrong with him. Thank you Omar!
Piero led a diverse group of young and older in a clear, engaging and enchanting way through the miracles of florence. His pride , enthusiasm were addictive and he lent us his eyes and ears to see many things we would otherwise not have seen or witnessed. Thank you!
We spent 3 hours with Fabio yesterday and what a treasure trove of information he had to share! We loved every minute of this tour! We learnt some secrets about Florence’s history especially Medici era and visited sights and places not usually seen by the average tourist. His knowledge and passion about Florence were impressive. Our tour was June 2019.
Dina was excellent. We were a family of two adults and two children (9 and 7) and she skilfully engaged and educated us all. Our children normally concentrate for two minutes, but Dina had a way of keeping them involved and therefore they managed the whole two hour tour with ease. Dina was informative and shared her amazing knowledge of the city and its history. She did so in an entertaining and light way. We were taken to a fantastic gelato store, which all of us appreciated! Pre-tour communications with Dina were always clear and she was helpful in terms of advising us on a restaurant for lunch. I would highly recommend Dina for a tour of Florence.
We had only a short time in Florence (5 hours) and wanted to get the best of the city. Sam developed the perfect plan, full of history, culture, architecture, art, and food. The plan was thoughtful and the time spent with Sam was full of information and also full of fun - he’s a friendly, funny guy who lives his city and knows every piece of it. I really feel like this was the best possible way to get to know Florence and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend for explorers and learners.
Other than the heat wave - 33.5C, 92F even at 8:00PM - we had a very enjoyable night tour walking around Florence with Fabio. He was keen to understand our interests, very flexible and extremely friendly, generous and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend both this tour (Florence is very beautiful at night) and Fabio is a great guide. He really brought things to life for us, and we learned an enormous amount in the brief two hours we spent with him. He also very generously invited us for a drink or gelato. That was unexpected and sweet. Thanks, Fabio!
we had a nice time in Florence. The gyde was very good and had a clear language with good information.
Dina is the best! When we met, I was grumpy and tired from a whole day of walking and rushing about. Dina took us for a coffee and snack to recharge and was so warm and friendly I felt so bad. We spent two days together and learnt so much and had such a great time. Thank you Dina! You’re the best Guide and we were blessed to have met you! We are now friends for life!
Our morning with Dina was amazing. Her knowledge was great and the tour was well paced, taking us to places we would never have found, the man performing Dante a highlight of our holiday
With our family of four (2 girls aged 14 and 15) the private tour done with Stella. Very enthusiastic lady with incredible knowledge. She has provided us with a very beautiful and fascinating yet.
