Rooftops Delight

Vicki_K, Sep 2025
A unique and relaxing tour with great stories and fun and interesting historical and local learn more about Florence.

Be prepared to lose your money! Viator is a total scam!!

James_R, Mar 2025
The local tour guide never showed up to the scheduled tour. Viator was not helpful at all in communicating with us nor the tour guide. The tour guide finally connected to us through WhatsApp and claimed that Viator had given us a partial refund that she did not approve - so she decided not to show up! We did not get a partial refund. I requested a full refund from Viator since the guide never showed up. So far Viator has come up with every excuse not to refund my money - close to $300. Also, one of the messages from the local tour guide stated that she was only paid a tiny partial fee compared to what we pay to Viator. She also stated that we paid far more than most people usually paid for the same tour. Incredibly unprofessional on all counts and unacceptable behavior by Viator. Please be warned NOT to use them.

The Best Views

Carolyn_G, Oct 2024
We actually heard about this tour from a couple we were seated next to at lunch and they could not stop raving about Azurra and how great the our was. We were able to fit it into our schedule the next day and it was one of our highlights from our trip! We immediately felt welcomed and our group got along so well. Azurra made sure everyone was introduced and we could have genuine conversations on the rooftops we went too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :)

Wonderful Roof Top Experience with Azzura

Rob_W, Oct 2024
Azzura was a wonderful tour guide. We highly recommend any trips she does. Very impressive on her knowledge and love of Florence.

Azurra was great guide and wealth of knowledge. Could never find these venues on our own. Bellasimo!!!

Perfect start to our time in Florence!

Lindsey_B, Sep 2024
Azzura was wonderful! She immediately made us feel right at home and brought us to the most beautiful spots in Florence that we never would have found on our own. As a local, she can answer anything you want to know about Florence. So happy we found this tour!

Great tour, easy going with a local knowledge of hidden treasures in Florence. Our guide was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this tour, probably near the start of your visit to Florence.

Florence from the Rooftops

Valerie_S, May 2024
The rooftop bars were great, and a we had a lot of fun. The food was delicious. I do recommend this tour. However, the guide told us a lot of Florence history that was completely wrong. Starting with the comment that Lorenzo the Magnificent didn’t really contribute to the culture and art of Florence.

Response from Host, May 2024

thank you for your review. Sorry or the misunderstanding but I said that Lorenzo the magnificent was very important for the culture and art in Florence during the Reinassence but He personally didn't contribute to any "famous" statues and paintings that you can admire in florence and this Is true: He did something more in Florence for sure but not as a direct client enjoy your staying

Florence a different way

Janet_G, Apr 2024
What a fabulous way to spend a morning. Seeing Florence from a different perspective and getting away from the crowds for a while, whilst enjoying a late breakfast and a light lunch. Would recommend to anyone, and if back in Florence wouldn’t hesitate to do again. Thanks Azzura

A must do and great value!

AR_P, Mar 2024
Hidden gems aplenty and a very informative tour. Great mix of culture and experiences. The rooftops around the Dumo offered unrivalled views :-)

Fantastic! You will love it!
