An Unforgettable Family Tour

5.00In late March 2026, Martina led a family tour for my husband, me, and our three children (a 7-year-old and nearly 5-year-old twins). I had already arrived expecting the best because of how easy it had been to book the tour, with prompt, tailored, and detailed coordination directly with Carla (the booking operator). But Martina exceeded even my highest expectations. I should start by saying I used to teach in museums for more than 15 years and have a lot of experience leading and observing tours with families. Martina is one of the best. From the David to the Duomo to Palazzo Vecchio, she was able to expertly lead an inquiry-based tour engaging them in a friendly trivia "game" that also provided lots of new context, opportunities for movement, and direction to look closely. She is a rare instructor who could teach to both groups in a family tour (adults and children), never speaking down to either group. In addition, she treated all of us and most importantly, the children, with a great deal of warmth, humor, and hospitality. My family is agreed our tour with her was the best part of Florence, and as you can see from the pictures, our children adored her and had a hard time saying goodbye!! Worth every penny.
Martina is MaGic!

5.00Martina was absolutely incredible. My 4 kids were tired going into it because of a tour earlier in the day and she brought them back to life and had them fully engaged in everything she was teaching. She taught through story, had them searching for items throughout the city. Played to my 14 year old and my 5 yr old. She made a game of all the museums. My 9 yr old didn’t leave her side, she just kept connecting with him. My 11 yr old left feeling like he knew history because of the way she validated his answers. And we all left feeling rejuvenated, educated and excited to continue our trip. Bravo Martina! You have been a highlight of our trip!

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Ilaria. It was my families first time visiting and even though I had seen the David and visited Florence before we all found the tour very informative. Ilaria took us to our favorite gelato place so far. Tour kept us all interested including our 9 year old daughter.
Great tour!

5.00We had an incredible private family tour of the Accademia David in Florence with our guide, Giulia. She made the experience both engaging and fun for everyone, including our kids. Giulia’s knowledge and enthusiasm brought the artwork to life, and she kept us all captivated throughout the tour. We highly recommend Giulia if you’re looking for a family-friendly guided tour.
Excellent

5.00Guilia was a wonderful guide for our family. Our daughters (7 and 10 years) loved every minute of the treasure hunts and games, while our entire family learned so much about the history and art of Florence. This was the best tour of our vacation!
Best Guide Elena!

5.00Very good this tour to do with children, our Guide Elena was great, left them amazed with everything she taught them about the David and then with the stories around the city center. He had infinite patience and finished the tour with a small gift for the children. I recommend it 100%
A must do with little ones!

5.00Giulia was wonderful! She kept my 4 and 6 yr old engaged for 2.5 hrs! A wonderful, very private tour that I’m thankful we did. Easy from the booking, to the meeting point, to the check in at the Accademia. She handled everything!
