What an amazing...

5.00What an amazing experience from start to finish. Gianmarco promptly made contact with us asking questions to personalise the experience to exactly what we wanted. He was very knowledgable, friendly and his English is better than mine. He arrived early and took us to some beautiful spots full of history but not necessarily what we would have seen having done it ourselves. He provided a document with lots of recommendations of eateries etc which we used. They weren’t full of tourists just locals and the food was amazing. Highly recommend 5 star experience

5.00Claudio was a phenomenal guide. He took us all around the city. We learned a lot, tasted delicious food, shopped and laughed a lot. He went out of his way to make this a special tour. He was thoughtful (he even carried all of our many bags after shopping) . We now consider him our dear friend.
Personal, Relaxed and Informative

5.00Amazing and personalized experience. Giada was an incredible tour guide and showed us Florence her way. Gave us great insights, meal suggestions, and was just a text away for the rest of the trip. She was informative and super friendly. This was exactly what we were looking for when touring Florence.

5.00Had an outstanding tour in Florence with Gianmarco Maioli! His English was excellent, and the level of detail he provided throughout the tour made the entire experience incredibly engaging and memorable. He also took the time to share a fantastic list of must-visit sites, restaurants, and wine bars throughout Florence — all excellent recommendations. Highly recommend!
Great tour with great guide!
