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

5.00Sonia is a fantastic and professional Spanish guide. We hired the private tour choosing to enter with her the Uffizi Museum and Academy. Both the quality and clarity of the explanations about the history of the city, in works of art / its artists, curiosities of the streets of the city, recommendations for the rest of the trip... made our family trip allow us to appreciate and enjoy much more the artistic and historical importance of Florence.
Wonderful experience!!!
