What a wonderful experience! Giacenta made our trip to Florence memorable. She shared her vast knowledge of the city and its history with us in a unique and engaging way. We can’t wait until our next. Is it to this beautiful city!!

My Wife and I booked an 8-hour walking tour in Florence to celebrate our wedding Anniversary. Martina was our local host. The whole walking tour was laid back and we got to experience some of the local haunts including food and drink stops and a one-of-a-kind mosaic family workshop and saw from the outside most of the main sites around the centre of Florence. We would have maybe liked a bit more historical information but having a pleasant and knowledgeable local who tailored the tour according to our wishes, and just enjoying the ambience made this tour special. Thank you, Martina,

Martina contacted us beforehand to find out what we wanted to see. We asked to see Florence plus the must-see landmarks. Boy, did she deliver. We saw so much of Florence in one day....so much that we would have missed had we not been with Martina. From markets, churches and lots of districts with their streets and squares. She also took us to a great coffee shop where I tried a local pastry, and lunch in a restaurant where I tried Chianti and tomato and bread soup. All in all, a great day. Thank you, Martina,

Hiroki met us at our dock and decided, based on our timeline, that rather than taking the train, we should go by car. This allowed us a lot more flexibility in the trip and we saw more sites and we would’ve been able to see otherwise. We saw two temples inside the city, a couple different marketplaces and one temple outside the city. Hiroki was kind enough to drive us to the bullet train station, show us how to get tickets, and write a note that we could give to the taxi driver to make sure that we got back to our ship.
