    Manuel was wonderful! He is from Florence and you could tell how much he loved the city. Super informative and I loved the small group size (normally 5-6 ppl). Would highly recommend

    This tour of Florence was...
    Krystal_P, Jan 2024
    This tour of Florence was amazing! We travelled during low season, so we had a private tour with Mario. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to the main sights and some hidden, off the beaten paths of Florence that gave us an even deeper appreciation for the city. The history, culture, impact of Florence is unparalleled and there can be a lot to take in. Mario made it feel like a storytelling tour, setting us up to observe, awe, and digest some of the most incredible stories in history! We highly recommend this experience.
    A True VIP Tour
    Randolph_F, Jan 2024
    This was by far the best tour we did while in Italy. It's a very small group of only 5-6 and our tour guide Mario gave a true insider's feel into the City of Florence and it's extensive history. Many tours say they will show you the less touristy parts but this taught us where they were and how we could continue to observe and learn on our own. The final treat was a curated recommendation of places to enjoy afterwards. Thank you!
    Fun, Friendly, and Imformative

    Great rainy experience
    Annie_B, Oct 2023
    It was raining and our tour guide still made it an exceptional time! He was funny and knew so much that we never would have picked up on our own. He knew beautiful places to get a respite from the rain. The local places he shared with us were so helpful. I would do this again!
    Educational walking tour of Florence

    Great tour finding your bearings
    Clare_p, Oct 2023
    This was an excellent tour. It was our first full day and it was a great way to get your bearings of Florence. Our guide Manuel was so knowledgeable and passionate about his beloved city that actually it was infectious. We went to places of real historical interest which I don’t think we would not have found on our own. Would highly recommend.
    Great for getting oriented with the city!
    farzana_n, Oct 2023
    The guide is extremely enthusiastic and did a really good job.. only issue is the time constraint.. there's too much to cover and too little time.. not the guides fault but the company's fault to plan it in such a way!
    Great overview tour
    KEvin_B, Oct 2023
    Manuel was a great guide. So knowledgeable. We did the tour shortly after arrival and used the information from him during the rest of our stay
    Highly recommend!
    Paula_R, Oct 2023
    It was a fantastic tour. In addition to seeing many sights, our guide(Manueli) shared a lot of stories and history about the region. It was great.
    Great walking tour
    Ashley_L, Sep 2023
    Great walking tour, we went down back alleys and learned about Florence’s rich history. We were a decent sized group but our guide kept it very personal and managed to keep us away from big crowds for the most part. Easy walk and we were comfortable with a stroller.
    Great walking tour
    Dianne_R, Sep 2023
    What a great walking tour. Very informative, guide had great knowledge. Definitely recommend as an introduction to Florence
    A great introduction to Florence
    Claudia_H, Sep 2023
    Loved how our enthusiastic guide presented the history and mystery of Florence... including how Florence was first built, expanded over the years and the existing connectedness of the city. We were presented with many well-known famous places and fascinating stories not to be missed. We visited hidden and quiet streets off the beaten path. Our guide, a native of Florence, was well spoken and knowledgeable. The tour provided a delightful way to listen and learn. It was a great introduction to a very fascinating and walkable city. Just the right length of time, attention to detail, and well paced.
    Good warm up for the week
    Joe_D, Sep 2023
    Perfect way to start our stay in Florence. Orientation to the city and a short history well delivered by our guide
