Great tour! Livia was our guide, it ended up being a private tour! She had great knowledge of Florence and its history. When possible, She took us down pathways and gardens that were away from the crowds. She gave good information regarding leather artisans and I made an informed purchase after the tour was over.

Emilia was an extremely professional and knowledgable guide to Florence. It was so nice to be in a small group to discover the important places in this city. Emilia was able to keep up with all of us amongst the huge crowds of larger tour groups and the experience was much more personal. She had great insights to share regarding the historic significance of many famous pieces of art as well which we found very interesting. Emilia also made many recommendations for “local favorites” to shop for Florentine goods or to go out to eat. Wonderful experience!

Brenda was a great guide! She gave us a good, brief history of Florence. We walked to several of Florence's highlights . David was a highlight, viewing him from different angles and understanding the sculptural details.

Our guide was entertaining and gave us a good understanding of Florence. I would recommend doing this tour your first day in Florence to help learn your way around.

Monica was an excellent tour guide! Very knowledgeable and made our experience very personal with her knowledge of interesting details of the history of this beautiful city!

Great tour with Aldo. He was easy to find, easy to understand and clearly has a passion for Italian history and for art. He showed us what was awe inspiring about each exhibit and sight, beyond that which you would easily notice. Efficient and great tour. Also loved that he recommended a spot for us to grabs. Gelato along the way from a really nice shop that had Sicilian gelato flavors. Also mindful of keeping us in the shade on a super hot, humid and sunny day. Overall a great experience - highly recommend.

Olivia was an amazing tour guide! She was so friendly and kind and easy to talk to, while also very knowledgeable about the cities and sights. While this tour is very much a historical tour, there is definitely a focus on art and how it relates to history, which we loved!
Amy_H, Jun 2025
Awesome! Wish we would have done it the first day so we could have understood where we were the previous days! David is worth the effort! Guide was fantastic.

Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed her explaining the Medici family influence on Florence. I’ll never look at the Statue of David the same. She was able to point out so much about the statue. I grew up reading and hearing the stories of David in the Bible. She brought it all together. She gave us plenty of time to take pictures.
I thought the price we paid was a bit expensive. Our friends were here in October 2024 and took the same tour. We booked this based on their recommendation. They paid $292. We paid $340. I suggest tourists check out the price better than I did.

Sylvia was a terrific guide! Very personable with encyclopedic knowledge. The tour was a wonderful introduction to Florence. Highly recommend.

Emanuela was an excellent tour guide. I learned so much about Florence and we got a deep understanding of the rich history.
William_G, Sept 2024
We very much enjoyed our guide's introduction to the heart of Florence. In addition to notable monuments, she highlighted quite a few landmarks in central Florence which would not have been obvious to us had we been on our own. She also explained the role of the Medici's in the development of the city and the Italian Renaissance. She offered valuable insights regarding Michaelangelo's works at the Academy, his interactions with his contemporaries and patrons, his personality, his body of work, and his creative process. This was a worthwhile tour!
Kathleen_K, Apr 2024
I felt the value for what we received was not worth the price. The cost of $153 each was considerable and it only included entry (and still had to wait in the rain) and a narrative that was interesting but could have included so much more.
Kristen_O, Jul 2023
Emanuela was a fantastic guide. The Florence tour was so interesting and brought history to life. Not rushed and saw many things we would not have found on our own. Very enjoyable and highly recommend!
Mark_N, Jul 2023
Our tour guide was really good.
Monica knew her stuff.
Fun even though the heat.
Skip the line tours sell out quickly

Eurica was an excellent guide. We appreciated hearing true art historians perspective of Michelangelo. I can’t wait to come back.
