  • Aida is the best in Florence

    maiaaaaa,,Jan 26, 2026

    Aida is honestly one of the reasons I’ve fallen in love with Florence, twice. I’ve done her tours both times I’ve been here, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. She’s incredibly passionate, ridiculously well-researched, and tells the history in a way that actually sticks. You can tell she genuinely loves history, Florence, and its stories. On top of that, she went above and beyond for us. I accidentally thought I’d booked a tour when I hadn’t (100% my fault), and last minute she still managed to give my mum and me a private tour. That kind of kindness and flexibility is rare, especially in a city as busy as Florence. If you’re choosing a tour and wondering who to go with, choose Aida.

  • Our favorite thing we did in Florence

    This tour is beyond fantastic if what you want is a deep-dive crash course into the history of Florence and the Renaissance. Aida runs an intricate and fascinating tour around the city where she truly brings history to life. We came in knowing almost nothing and left with information that we continued to reference for the rest of our trip around Italy. It was so much fun! Could not recommend this tour highly enough.

    My friends and I came into this tour blind with our rudimentary knowledge of art history and European history from high school, but our wonderful and knowledgeable guide, AIDA, was so patient and receptive with our questions. She was such a fantastic tour guide who did a phenomenal job of explaining Florentine history at a relaxed pace. I definitely recommend this tour for curious beginners and inquisitive learners. We LOVED this experience ❤️

  • Brilliant tour with Aida - fascinating, informative and humorous!

    This tour was truly wonderful! You can find out so much about Florence and its history, and Aida does it in such a humorous and interesting manner that it really flies by, and in absolutely excellent English. The group size is kept down (I think there were 9 or 10 of us), which makes it much easier to have excellent interaction and ask questions. Aida also has all kinds of useful tips for the best places to visit in Florence, and how to keep your visit e.g. to the Uffizi manageable and not too long, and still see the highlights there. In some locations there is a chance to sit down while Aida is explaining, so good opportunities to rest your legs. Also we had a short break to grab a delicious ice cream :) I did the tour on my first evening in Florence so it set me up perfectly for my time there. I would definitely repeat it if I return to the city. Many thanks, Aida!

  • Probably the best introduction for Florence beginners

    Aida was great! We have done tours in different cities and never have you been able to experience history like with Aida! You can see how much passion and knowledge is involved in leadership on each topic (especially historically). Despite the rain, we enjoyed the tour so much that we were literally left speechless, considering the many professional and funny facts about Florence! Thank you Aida for this spectacular introduction!

    Brilliant tour, amazing guide. Aida’s knowledge is incredible . She made the tour an absolute delight with her warm personality and great sense of humor. If you book this tour, try and get Aida as your guide, you will not regret it. The tour went longer than advertised purely down to her enthusiasm. Not to be missed.

  • Should be your FIRST TOUR in Florence!

    Make this walking tour with Aida your FIRST TOUR in Florence! She shares so much helpful information! She's a wealth of information, especially about the history of the intersection of medieval and renaisonse politics, art, and architecture. A TRUE GEM! Highly recommend! We gratefully tipped her very well- worth every dollar. Thanks, Aida!

    Aida was not just a guide, she was the soul of Florence speaking to us. With her words, the city unfolded like a living tapestry, weaving together the Middle Ages, the grandeur of the Roman Empire, and the brilliance of the Renaissance. We walked in the footsteps of Donatello, Brunelleschi, and Michelangelo, felt the power of the Medici, and stood in awe before David, who seemed to breathe under Aida’s storytelling. It was not a tour, but a journey through time, where stone and art turned into poetry. Florence will remain in our hearts forever, thanks to Aida’s gift of bringing history to life

  • Knowledge and funny: Aida’s tour is the best!
