- We spent our time with Francesco - a true Florentine!! We were amazed by his knowledge and he was so personable - made us feel like we knew him for years. If I can specifically ask for him next time I visit, that would be great! Ciao Francesco!

Amazing tour of Academia and David - Laura Donato was our guide. She was exceptional!! We had a max of 8 people but it was just my husband and me. This made it even more special. She walked us through the museum and was very knowledgeable. She answered all our questions. She let us go at own pace. We were amazed at David. I didn't realize he would be so large! We also had the walking tour. It started to rain but that didn't stop us- it actually cooled us down. We stopped in a store and bought umbrellas. She made this tour one of our top 3 on our trip to Rome, Florence and Greece. Thank you, Lauren, for such a great experience!

Historic Florence - Jack was one of the best guides we have had. His knowledge was extensive and showed/educated us on history we didn't know about from architectural to politics. He was also a pleasure to be with - a quick sense of humour

Lovely and memorable - This tour was very well structured and provided a good emphasis on Michelangelo’s David which was our focus while also getting a primer on the rest of Florence. Annette was top notch and was one of the best tour guides we had out of any of the major cities we visited around Italy. She was extremely informative and provided essential context to the art, history, and culture of the city. Annette made our visit to Florence as great as it was and we were glad to have had her as our guide.

One of the most enjoyable tours I have been on!!! - Francesco was amazing! He was very informative and educated. He was very passionate and so well versed in this tour. I was very impressed and so enjoyed our tour. I wish we had more time in Florence as I would have definitely booked him for another tour.

Private or semi private is definitely the way to go - Elizabetta, our tour guide was terrific. We were pleasantly surprised when we learned that she is an English teacher when she’s not giving tours. She was a fountain of knowledge and her passion was quite evident. She was extremely flexible and adjusted on the fly as 2 people in our group wanted to stop for some food, so she used the opportunity to go to the Ufizzi and collect our tickets so that we could then maximize our time in the museum. Excellent tour. Semi private or private is definitely the way to go, even though it is pricier.

Highly Recommend - Great Tour Guide! - My wife and I did the combo of the David, Walking Tour, plus Uffizi. Annette was the best! We entered all of the museums with ease. Annette was extremely knowledgeable on the towns history and everything involved. If visiting Florence and looking to learn what you’re looking at around the city, take this tour!
