Reviews of Our Florence Experiences

The experience with Valmi was excellent! She was prompt, kind, fun, and very generous with her time and talents. The length and level of depth that she covered was more than expected. We received so much detail on Florentine history and culture. It was a highlight of our trip and we feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to tour with Valmi.

Allasandro took us all over the city, showed us the history of the Medici family and its affect on the history of Florence. He showed us the most ancient pharmacy in the city which was stunning. He took us to local market that sold fine Italian products we could buy. He took us to a local market and showed us the history of the market and the merchants that worked there. He fed us at a local corner trying out local food that normally we would never think of trying but it was DELICIOUS. He brought us bread from a local market to try that was FANTASTIC, and gave my daughter a gift for her birthday. We couldn’t have asked for more!
