Traveler reviews
Excellent tour with a wealth of information! Amazing tour guide!
Guilia was absolutely incredible! She had a wealth of knowledge about the history of Florence, the artists, the progression of Florentine culture, and was able to answer all of our questions. She was kind, patient, and thorough. We enjoyed this tour and felt it was well worth the money. I am a tour guide and will continue to book through Liv Tours. Their company was incredible to work with! The only thing I wish was included is a skip-the-line tour of the interior of The Duomo. We were only able to walk in the front of the Duomo and hear about the history. But, we did not see the inside.
Excellent walking tour
Our tour with Caterina was terrific! A great walk to the top sights— we learned so much about this beautiful city, including Michelangelo and David. As Caterina is from Florence and has been a guide for 12years, she is a font of knowledge and enthusiasm. Much appreciated!
Fantastic!
We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! Barbara was incredible. Being from Florence she knew all the side streets and local spots for us to stop at along the way too. She was fun, hilarious and patient with my mom who is older and slower in the heat. Highly recommend!
The Perfect Way to See Florence
We took the "Florence in a Day" semi-private walking tour, and it was absolutely phenomenal. If you are looking for a comprehensive, engaging, and intimate way to explore the city, this is the tour to book. Our guide, Emilia, was truly amazing. She brought the history, art, and culture of Florence to life with her incredible knowledge and infectious passion. Because it was a semi-private tour, the group size was perfectly small. This allowed us to easily navigate the busy, beautiful streets, ask plenty of questions, and really connect with both Emilia and the sights around us. Emilia ensured we hit all the essential highlights of the city while keeping the walking pace comfortable and enjoyable. She also offered fantastic local insights and stories that you simply won't get from reading a standard guidebook. We highly recommend the "Florence in a Day" tour—and specifically Emilia as a guide—to anyone looking to make the most of their time in Florence!
Wonderful Tour
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.
