Great Renaissance Tour - I can 100% recommend the Renaissance tour! In over two hours, I learned so much interesting stuff, much more than I've ever learned on other walking tours with much larger groups. Aida is not only very knowledgeable, but also has a profound expertise that she conveys brilliantly. A must-do for any visit to Florence!

Beyond the Usual – A Fascinating Renaissance Walking Tour - Having done dozens of walking tours across Europe, I can confidently say this was one of the best! This tour was not the typical stroll past Florence’s famous landmarks—instead, it offered a deep dive into the Renaissance, focusing on hidden gems and architectural marvels that played a crucial role in shaping the city’s golden age. Our guide Aida was exceptionally knowledgeable, weaving together art, history, and culture in a way that made Florence come alive. Rather than just listing facts, she explained the artistic and intellectual revolution of the Renaissance, helping us understand the "why" behind Florence’s incredible legacy. Her passion was contagious, and their storytelling skills made every stop along the way fascinating. This tour added an entirely new layer to our appreciation of Florence, making it one of the highlights of our visit. It was so exceptional that we immediately booked the Medici & Michelangelo tour with the same operator—and that was just as incredible! Highly recommended for those who want to go beyond the usual sights and truly understand the spirit of Florence.

The tour for intellectual travellers with a life gusto - If you are interested in art history from a very intelligent woman's point of view (pun intended =) that's the tour for you. Aida is simply the best. This tour would be complementary to any walking or art tour that you might have taken in Florence. We have taken many really good tours, but by far this was the most interesting one. In a couple of hours she makes you understand art in the Middle Age, Renaissance, and Baroque eras. Her tour narrative is very intresting and original. I cannot recommend this tour enough for intellectual travellers with a life gusto.
