Get a crash course in Florence with a local host to get you comfortable in Italy’s sun-soaked Cradle of the Renaissance. See six of Florence’s most exciting central areas, and landmarks like Florence Cathedral, Piazza Santa Felicità, and Via dei Girolami – a vaulted medieval road. Learn stories about the city’s history, like Via dei Calzaioli, the shoemaker’s street where the painter Bronzino got headaches from the noise, and ask your local insider any questions you have – perhaps over an espresso and a crunchy biscotti at Vivoli or Robiglio.

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

    Valmi have us a great tour of the city. She was engaging and informative and a lot of fun. This tour did not include entry into the sites (Duomo, Palazzo Vechio, Pitti Palace etc) so if you want to enter these sites you will need to do that on your own.

    Great walking tour overview of the iconic Florence sights. Excellent and accommodating tour guide, who extended the tour because we arrived late.

    Martina emailed me ahead of time and we planned how to spend the six hour private tour. I think that was the key to the success of the day. We visited her side of Florence, enjoyed the outdoor markets, gardens and specialty stores for art. We went to an amazing place for lunch and later, stopped a wine bar. All this afforded Martina time to share her city with me. I felt like I was not a tourist but visiting with a friend. I have been to Florence before and done all the major sites. This was a unique day that I will never forget.

    The four of us (2 couples) did a three hour private walking tour of Florence. Our guide, Martina was exceptional. Her knowledge of the history of Florence as well as the key families that shaped the growth of Florence was very well articulated. It made all the difference in our understanding and enjoyment of the city. Martina took the time to understand what we were interested in and planned our walk around our interests. She patiently answered our questions and frequently checked in with us during the tour to ensure we were getting what we wanted and the pace of the tour was really up to us. At the end of the tour she provided us with recommendations for restaurants, wine windows, shopping, and other areas of interest in Florence. Thank you Martina for such a wonderful tour!
