5.00It was easy to meet up with our guide and she did an excellent job on educating us on some basic history of Florence. It was our first time to Italy and we fell in love with Florence. The tour was very intimate because there was only two of us. Can't wait to go back!

5.00My tour with Olga was fantastic. She maximized the 90 minutes we had, telling great stories, showing me key areas and explaining their history, and provided great advice on how I could spend the rest of my time in Florence. This was a fantastic way to start my time in the city - next time I would do a longer tour!

5.00We just can't say enough nice things about Irina. Our train was late and she worked around our schedule so she was very accommodating and helpful. She was friendly and spoke perfect English. We learned so much about her beautiful city, Florence, and all about the art and history in the area. We wish we had booked her for longer!!

5.00Irina was a really great guide. She was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Florence. She was really great at answering questions and even went over the scheduled time to make sure we didn't rush through the tour. We will definitely be using her in the future.

5.00Irina is a terrific guide. It was my first visit to Florence, with two of my sisters, and the walking tour with Irina was a definite highlight! She was engaging and personable and treated our questions seriously, taking time to answer them based on her extensive knowledge and familiarity with the city and its amazing history. We saw the main tourist sights but also the unexpected backstreets and hidden gems. Her enthusiasm was infections; we came home and binged on the Medici TV series! Thank you, Irina, for a wonderful experience.
