Traveler reviews
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.
Great SMALL Group Tour
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!
Florence highlights
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.
