Latest reviews from our guests

    Marilisa is a bubbly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, art loving tour guide for Florence, Italy. Last June she gave my granddaughter and her friend, both 21, and me a thoroughly enjoyable morning walk through some lesser known, less touristy areas of the city. I would highly recommend her personally, and City Unscripted, and wouldn’t hesitate to use them for future travel adventures. Helen Franchois.

    Marilisa is a bubbly, enthusiastic, knowledge, art loving guide who gave my 21-year-old granddaughter and her friend, and me, a thoroughly enjoyable morning walk in the lesser-known areas of Florence. We had a blast! I would definitely recommend her personally, and Hidden Gems, and would not hesitate to use them again in future travels.

    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,

    This was a walking tour with me and my 16 you nephews. He told me after Martina was a very nice woman who was very knowledgeable about Florence and gave us great useful information about the area near where we are staying. She introduced me to gelato. She talked to me and made me feel like I was important. I add that after a very long travel from the US, this was our first tour and Martina was (is) a breath of fresh air. She was wonderful. We might even reach out again if we have time for another short tour.
