Tailored for your interests. We spent a lot of time on Medici lineage and history; got many questions answered. Delightful and knowledgeable guide!

What an absolutely wonderful tour with Marilisa in Florence! She is very welcoming, engaging and informative. From the moment we started our walking tour she pointed out special gems that most people would walk right by. She brought to life the many sculptures, buildings and points of interest with connections to the history of Florence. Thank you Marilisa!

Great walking tour overview of the iconic Florence sights. Excellent and accommodating tour guide, who extended the tour because we arrived late.

Giada was warm and engaging. She was extremely knowledgeable but never “talked down” to us. She did an excellent job and I will recommend her to my family and friends. You are lucky to have her!
