Irina is a gem of Florence

If you want to fall in love with Florence, take a tour with Irina. She is an exceptional guide—warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. From Piazza della Repubblica to the Duomo, Dante’s district, Piazza della Signoria, and finally the Ponte Vecchio, Irina brought every stop to life with vivid stories and thoughtful insights. She has a rare gift for making history feel alive and effortless, turning each corner of the city into something meaningful. Even without entering museums, the tour felt rich and fulfilling thanks to her passion and talent for storytelling. Irina made Florence unforgettable—I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Operator response

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredibly touching review. Guiding you through Florence was truly a joy, and reading your words makes me feel deeply grateful. It means so much to know that the stories, the history, and the spirit of the city came alive for you—that is exactly what I hope to share on every tour. Florence is a place I love dearly, and being able to pass that love on to someone who receives it so warmly is a gift. I’m truly moved that the experience felt meaningful even without stepping into a museum; the city itself is a masterpiece, and I’m glad we could explore it together in such a memorable way. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. Your appreciation is something I will carry with me. With heartfelt gratitude, - Irina

Irina was absolutely fabulous! She was very knowledgeable about the city of Florence, and made a busy city feel as though we’ve been here for years! She recommended a wonderful selection of shops, restaurants and gelato! She sure knows her stuff! I would recommend a private tour with Irina to anyone visiting Florence, especially on a first visit!

Knowledgeable and Friendly

Irina is well and truly amazing guide. Her knowledge of Florence and its hisory is tremendous and she will find a little story to tell you about so many things you would have missed. She will answer all your questions thoughtfully. It almost feels like you are studying about Florence in real time with her which was an amazing experience for a history buff like me. All in all - I will definitely book another tour with her when I am here next time and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this wonderful and generous review — it truly made me smile to read it. I’m delighted that exploring Florence together felt immersive and rewarding, especially for someone who shares a deep interest in history. Being able to uncover the small stories that often go unnoticed and discuss them in the moment is one of the things I love most about guiding. Please excuse my delayed reply, and thank you for your patience. Your enthusiasm and recommendation mean a great deal to me, and I would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another tour the next time you’re in Florence. Warmest regards, Irina

Overall, 5/5! Will definitely recommend her tour to our family and friends 👍🏽

Irina is a very experienced tour guide! We (my relatives and I) availed of her tour package and was not disappointed. She contacted us minutes before the specified time to make sure we can easily find her in the midst of the crowd. She took her time to tell the story of how Florence came to be and she also used visual guides to understand her better. The tour was at a relaxed pace and did not feel rushed at all!

Perfect way to see Florence!

We took the Walking Tour in Florence: 2 hour and in the evening and what a great way to explore Florence! Irina was amazing and kind and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend her and walking around the city with her. She took us to so many great places. Plenty of time for pictures and we were treated to an amazing sunset. She was also super at answering our travel questions and dinner recommendations. Thank you, Irina!

Great Florence orientation

Irina gave us a wonderful tour- perfect for getting oriented to the city on our first night. She gave us enough detail to be entertaining without my 11 and 13 year old boys being bored. When we saw museums afterwards, both boys remembered things Irina had taught them. Highly recommend her tour!
