Breakaway from the crowds to find family-run trattorias or watch the sunset from a private, hidden terrace no traveler could find alone.

We enjoyed really much our experience, she showed us the main places including the food market and brought us to the best gelato place ever, went to an street artist place and to a leather workshop!

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,
