Irina is an exceptional guide. This was the start of my St Frances Pilgrimage to Rome and I had researched extensively. Irina’s knowledge is exceptional and she presents the stories of St Frances, Dante, Michelangelo, Florentine families to name a few with passion and weaves the tour into the story of religion and The Renaissance. It comes to life and with humour. Thank you Irina. You brought Florence to life!

Irina was fantastic from start to finish. She communicated clearly in advance and made meeting her inside the busy Basilica of Santa Croce effortless. What stood out most was how she brought Santa Croce to life—taking the time to sit down and share rich, relevant history that completely transformed the experience. Without her context and insight, I would have missed so much of what makes this place extraordinary. She’s friendly, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable. An outstanding guide and absolutely worth it—I highly recommend her.

Such an enormous church with an overwhelming display of architecture, artwork and history. We would have been lost without Irina and her expert guidance and interesting stories.
