5.00Great personalized tour. We appreciated the interesting tidbits of Florence’s history. There was something for my two preteen kids, my husband and myself.
When you only have a limited amount of time in Florence, a great guide is a must.

5.00Katerina was an engaging and knowledgeable guide. We only had a day to spend in Florence--we did the Duomo on our own, then had a great walk through the squares, over the Arno, back across the Ponte Vecchio and ending with David at the Accademie. With limited time-- a great guide is a must, and Katerina was the best.
Very knowledgeable local
