What a wonderful experience! Glenda was a fantastic tour guide and we highly recommend her. She was also very knowledgeable in all things “Florence”.
Stephy, our guide was great. She asked questions to find out what was important to us and even adapted along the way when I needed socks. highly recommend having a private guide.
This was a lot of fun! Having been to Florence several times, I wanted something different and this was it. Loved the climb too!
Glenda was amazing and very knowledgeable, learned great things from her. Thank you. I recommend this as an introduction to first timers in Florence
Our tour guide Lio was excellent. He met us at our hotel and gave us a great tour of Florence providing us with a great history of the city. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about his city and its art work. The Dome climb was not to be missed. Amazing views in all directions!
This tour was personal and full of amazing information, a million times better then a group walking tour we did earlier. Ludavica was a wonderful guide and told me more about the Medici family then a previous Medici tour we did on af tours. The ease of her getting our tickets ahead of time for the dome climb was amazing !!!! Don’t pass this tour up.
We had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Stefania in Florence. We were traveling with our 9 and 6 yo boys who, while for the most part are pretty go with the flow kids, we re tired from traveling and walking 22,000 steps a day. She adjusted the tour and the pace to fit the kids and really provided a nice commentary on many local traditions. I really appreciated her patience and understanding. She was a great guide and you should take a walk around Florence with her!
Martina was an excellent guide that lead us around Florence. She was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer any questions we had along the way. I would recommend the private tours over a group tour. Martina even made recommendations for the rest of our journey.
Excellent tour guide, outstanding views, overall excellent tour! The steps were a bit of strenuous but worth the climb.
My husband and I had a fantastic time with Martina! Our tour started with Martina meeting us at our hotel. It was nice not to have to try and find her at crowded meeting place. (like other tours) I can't believe how much historical information Martina shared with us just moments out of our hotel. The tour was 3 hours and we covered a LOT. (we could have gone longer) Martina was very personable, informative and fun. I loved being the only people in our "group" and being able to choose the pace of the tour. The top of the Dome was AMAZING! Going up the 465? steps was definitely worth it. I'm not to fond of heights, but had no problem at the top. When our tour was over, Martina gave us information on shops and suggestions of things to do. Thanks Martina!
