5.00It has been a wonderful experience discovering Florence with Sonia! We spent two days visiting the city with her, and without a doubt, we would recommend her to any traveler who wants to know Florence in a different and enriching way. She knows a lot about history, particularly about Florence, and has a great ability to convey her knowledge in a very educational, clear, and concise manner. She made us look at the city with new eyes and understand its history and beauty better. Thank you!

5.00From our short but intense visit to this wonderful city of Florence our guide Sonia stands out. With a very broad knowledge of everything related to the city, its colloquial and enjoyable way of transmitting it, has made both our teenage children and us, have enjoyed this experience very much. If we go back to this city, it'll be the first call we'll make, no doubt about it.
Great guide. Professional 100%

5.00It has been a 10 experience! Thanks to it we have observed the Palazzo Vechio with the eyes of the Renaissance. Sonia is a charmer and especially transmits her love to what for me is the most beautiful city in the world. With it you see details that would go unnoticed, palatial anecdotes and dive into the historical context that is also very important. We will definitely repeat with her. We're already Cosimo team! Thank you Sonia!
Fantastic experience
