Rosa was our guide in Florence, and we really enjoyed the tour. She was knowledgeable, shared helpful practical tips, and took the time to answer all of our questions.
The experience felt well-organized and engaging throughout. We would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Was a great tour to learn more about the history of Florence. Out guide was great and made the tour fun.
TRACY_C, Mar 2026
We arrived 1 minute before the tour started no one was there. I assumed we were in the wrong place so I walked back to the Duomo where I saw tours. I messaged the operator at 5 after for help. No response. I went back to the first place looking all around. They finally responded at 9 after to say I missed the tour. I offered to join where I get to my wife. No reply. I reached out to Viiator to get help. They aren't able to help either. I gave us after 25 minutes of frustration.

Lilian_P, Dec 2025
Our tour guide Rafaelo was incredibly knowledgeable, the amount of information provided was a bit much. the tour was supposed to end at 4:30 and it did but we never got to the last stop on the itinerary Ponte Vechio.
Doug_D, Dec 2025
Seeing Florence from the rooftops of some buildings whilst enjoying interesting conversation and food and drink is an excellent idea and very well executed.

Eduardo was the best guide.
He has a huge knowledge and he enjoys telling about his city!
And he is celebrity - I saw him a week later with Evelyn Burdecki in german TV 😍😎

Nicolas_D, Jul 2025
Very friendly and enthusiastic guide! A nice focus on the Medici history and the architectural history.
Anne_G, Jun 2025
This was not what we signed up for- it wasn’t a walking tour, it was a talking tour.
The guide was knowledgeable, but stood, often for more than 10 minutes and talked at us. Lots of history, nothing shared about current buildings, politics, or community.
We basically walked around a few blocks.
The guide was late, he had his “speech” and didn’t like when I asked him questions, sometimes he literally ignored me.
There were only 4 of us, none of us were happy, and he knew it. Abruptly ended the tour, took our ear buds and left…didn’t even wait for a tip…
The tour advertised had specific sites which we did not see.
I would not recommend this tour, nor this group.
Davina_N, Jun 2025
The tour guide was brilliant. She was informative, clear about her topics, great English, excited about the history.
Gaetano_G, Jun 2025
We booked the walking tour for our first day in Florence to hopefully get an idea of what around the city we would want to explore further. Our tour guide was not very informative and it felt very rushed. It was basically an hour stroll you can do on your own if anyone you’ve ever known has been here 5 minutes longer than you have
Hailey_B, Jun 2025
Chiara was awesome! Knowledgeable and funny. We really enjoyed our tour and felt like we had a good lay of the land afterward. Also had several good recommendations for restaurants and cafes by the end of the tour!
Sharon_A, May 2025
The tour was well organized and timely. Our tour lead was very informative and included some out of the way spots
Dana_B, May 2025
The guide, Julia, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Florence and the history. I loved the entire walk but wanted to cover more of Florence and hear so much more.
Zachary_O, Dec 2024
I got to learn so much on this tour! She had amazing insights and some insider tips of what to do and not do, whats overpriced and what’s great that locals love. All with a fantastic attitude and vibe. It’s a perfect “starter” tour to give you a lay of the land and fall in love with Florence.
Dawn_K, Nov 2024
Our semi private group ended up just being the two of us and our guide, Sylvia. We had such a fabulous time walking the streets of Florence with her! She is a wealth of knowledge, and such a kind, happy spirit!
Thank you so much, Sylvia! We highly recommend this tour, and our guide!
Michele_R, Oct 2024
We very much enjoyed our small group walking tour and our guide was easy to understand and since our group was so small she was able to tailor the tour to our specific interests and answer questions as well as take us to some of the lesser known less touristy sites along the way! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a quick and easy tour with the history of Florence you might miss if doing it on your own!
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Dear Michele,
we’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your small group walking tour! It’s wonderful that our guide could tailor the experience to your interests and share some of the lesser-known, less touristy spots with you. Small groups allow for a more personalized experience, and we’re glad you felt that connection.
Thank you for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
Warm regards,
My Green Tour

Unfortunately, didn’t learn much. Our guide talked a lot about stories and some history, but mostly irrelevant things. Spoke very soft and spoke too much. We didn’t cover much ground because she rambled too much. We did English tour, but guide was German so accent in English was sometimes hard to get. Just wasn’t what we thought and she went 40-45 minutes over. Too much detail
Fina_S, Oct 2024
Great tour with Luigi- with little surprises along the way. I love the facts and interesting stories of Florence and its history.
David_S, Oct 2024
Our guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable- however- since it was so difficult to understand him, we did not complete the tour.
Rasa_A, Oct 2024
Guide took us around parts of Florence and provided explanations on what we saw. Unfortunately the guide had a heavy accent and was difficult to undertand. He also took us through very crowded parts of the city which made the tour feel hectic and less enjoyable.
Kathleen_W, Oct 2024
Great walking tour of Florence. We started at the Duomo. Walking to the Ponte Vecchio, we received history of the Medici influence on the city. We walked past the Uffizi to City Hall. Our guide gave us tips on other sites to seek out on our own.
Samantha_V, Oct 2024
Kevin was full of life & passion for his city and it’s fascinating history. Great walking tour with actually very little walking.
Sara_J, Sept 2024
On behalf of my Australian parents, thank you to Eduardo for a wonderful tour. He was easy to listen to and very passionate about the history of Florence.
Diane_S, Sept 2024
Our guide had extensive knowledge about the history of the area. He walked at a good pace, despite the crowds and answered all our questions.
Jon_D, Sept 2024
Our Italian guide spoke reasonable English and was very knowledgeable, but it was information overload regarding dates and historical families and figures. We just wanted to know what the main attractions were and which were worth a subsequent visit.
Our party consisted of just one other couple, which was probably just as well since everyone’s radio receivers stopped working about 20 minutes into the tour. Probably a problem with the guide’s transmitter, but had it been a large party, it would’ve been difficult., probably impossible, to hear.
So in all, rather disappointed given the cost.
