5.00We had the privilege of a private walking tour with Irina of the Accademia Museum and Florence Town Center. Irina is exceptionally knowledgeable and storyteller talent to bring the events and characters to life. Irina’s English is excellent. This tour with Irina was the best we’ve had in Italy.
The history of Florence comes alive when you tour with Irina!

5.00We had an outstanding walking tour in Florence with Irina, and I can’t recommend her enough. She guided us through the Accademia Museum with incredible insight, especially when discussing Michelangelo’s David—her depth of knowledge brought the statue to life in a new way. After the museum, Irina led us on a thoughtful walking tour of Florence, focusing on its rich art history. Her storytelling around the influence of the Medici family was captivating and added so much context to what we were seeing. Irina’s passion for Florence and its history made the entire experience unforgettable. A true professional and a fantastic guide.

5.00Irina did an incredible job walking us through Florence. Her insights and stories truly brought Florence to life, and helped us understand all the rich significance and purposefulness of each area we visited. She also helped us find the best snacks and gelato! It was a perfect way to spend our time, and our family loved it. My kids range from 13 to 21, and Irina was engaging for all of them, and because it was a private tour for just our family, Irina was able to pivot to our needs. I would highly recommend this tour and Irina!!

5.00Tour began at Accademia Art Gallery, followed by a walking tour of some important landmarks. Our guide Irina was passionate and knowledgeable. More important, she made the history come alive with pictures on her iPad, insightful commentary, and humor. You will have an incredible experience!

Irina is the best tour guide!!

5.00Our tour guide Irina was fantastic and so well-versed in the history of Florence. Rather than just viewing the statue of David, she brought to life the creation of the statue itself. The details that we learned about the evolution of the ruling parties, major players and churches of Florence made Florence come to life for us!!
Fantastic Florence, Inspirational Irina!

5.00Irina is simply the best! My wife and myself were lucky enough to have done another tour of the Uffizi with her 6 years ago which we still talk about today. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and passion for Florence inspired us to make another trip and we couldn’t come without trying another tour. This time a private tour which was worth every cent. So much more intimate. Irina took special care of us to make sure we had the best experience possible, taking her time to explain the history of Florence and answer any questions we had. Her knowledge is incredible. We got all the best view points of the major sites but also were shown more intricate secret details and places of Florence which would otherwise be missed and are so much fun. Our understanding of this beautiful city has grown because of Irina and we will be making another trip back! Don’t hesitate, just book in a tour with her! Fantastic. Thank you so much.
Amo Firenze!

5.00This is the second tour we have done with Irina. The first one we did was the Uffizi 6 years ago and we loved how passionate Irina was. Once we knew we were coming back to Florence we looked Irina up again. We had the most incredible few hours walking with Irina. She has an incredible way of sharing the history of Florence. She is passionate and fun and has plenty of recommendations for where to eat as well! Irina has inspired us to come back to Florence again! Could not recommend Irina highly enough!
