Halvdagstur till Florens

Great your! We learned so much! Thank you Manuel!

Good overview of city with recommendations of places/museums/restaurants. NIce summary of history of the city.

We found the tour very informative. Emanuel was knowledgeable with the history of Florence. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour of Florence! Would absolutely recommend. Great way to kick off your trip!

Awesome experience. So knowledgeable. The hidden gems, secret alleyways and drama of Florence was unveiled on this quick but comprehensive tour. Highly recommend

Manuel was fantastic! We took this tour the afternoon of our arrival in Florence. He took us all around the city and shared with us the history of the city, the Medici family, and the great artists that spurred the Renaissance. He shared so many small nuggets with us that we would not have noticed (the small altars located all over the city). He also gave us great shopping and dining recommendations as we were parting. If you want an appreciation for this city and its history, do yourself a favor and take this tour. So many people go and just take the photos, but don't dive deep. You are in a city with a rich history. Learn about the people who walked the city hundreds of years ago.

This tour included an ear piece for each of us so at any given time we could hear our guide above the city’s noise. That was a game changer since we were walking and looking and listening. Our guide knew the city like one knows his own family. Very knowledgeable with dates and names and details! In fact, just hours after the tour our discussion led to a symbol in the restaurant we had just learned from our guide. Be sure to start your tour early if scheduling in the summer.

Manuel was absolutely exceptional and gave our family of six one of the highlights of our entire Italy trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, engaging, and attentive to every detail. He brought Florence’s history to life while tailoring the experience to our interests and pace. Beyond the iconic sights, he introduced us to hidden gems and local insights we never would have found on our own. His passion for Florence is contagious, and his genuine kindness made us feel like friends rather than tourists. Manuel sets the standard for what every private guide should aspire to be. If you’re visiting Florence, do yourself a favor and book Manuel. You won’t regret it! Highly, highly recommended.

Manuel gave us a Fantastic tour. Very knowledgeable on the history, art, and food in Florence. Great English communication for being an Italian. He was very considerate that we were comfortable during the whole tour. Created a perfect atmosphere for a tourist. This was a private tour which helps our family much more than a large crowd.

I REALLY liked the way our guide did the tour in chronological order. The story makes more sense that way. I liked seeing the link between politics and tax policy and how it affected building design and ground floor footage. I liked the alley and back street pearls like the wine windows, architectural details, and small sacred spots. The tour leader’s English was hard to understand.
