Traveler reviews
Antonella was the star of the show
We had a fantastic tour with Antonella! She was passionate, engaging, and knowledgeable. She did a great job navigating us through the galleries and pointing out fascinating buildings in the city I would’ve walked past otherwise. Worth the money to skip the long lines at the Uffitzi and Academia. The tour was a good amount of time; we got to see everything we wanted and even stop for a coffee/pizza when we were hungry. Highly recommend!
An unforgettable experience in Florence
We had a wonderful walking tour of Florence. We enjoyed having our guide provide us with all the helpful information and history of each of our stops, especially the statue of David. We also enjoyed meeting some local store owners and experiencing the artisan traditions local only to Florence. Included in that is the marble paper technique, gold smith and mosaic painting. It was an unforgettable experience.
Florence Walking Tour
We did the private walking tour with Antonella who met us at our hotel and filled our tour with interesting Medici stories, opulent interiors, art, history and fun! Antonella encouraged us to walk everywhere as Florence’s historic centre is compact, walkable and easy to navigate ... plus she promised that we would stumble on hidden gems around every corner and boy was she right! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Antonella as she was organised, knowledgeable and funny! Thanks Antonella!
Great tour!!
Jessica was very informative and a pleasure to learn from!! Highly recommend. Would recommend her for anybody looking for a complete yet concise tour and experience.
Best storytelling guide in Florence!
I recently had the pleasure of having explored Florence with guide Antonella and it was an absolute pleasure and one of the best parts of my time in Florence. She was kind and extremely informative, being a Florence native she had a wonderful approach to story telling and brought it all to life in our tour! In addition the host company was very responsive during my planning process prior to my trip.
