5.00We were lucky enough to experience Florence through the eyes and hearts of our extraordinary guide, and we could not have wished for a better experience. With impeccable professionalism, extraordinary generosity and profound wisdom, he managed to turn every moment into a precious memory. He did not limit himself to showing us the monuments, but accompanied us on a real journey through time, between art, history and fascinating anecdotes that have conquered the whole family. His infectious passion and his way of telling made us fall in love even more with this wonderful city. It was a beautiful gift that we will cherish in our hearts. Thanks for everything! GOODBYE FRANCIS

5.00He gave us a wealth of information! I do not know how you could tour Florence and appreciate its history without a guide. He was awesome!
Very informative!

5.00Francesco is a wonderful guide. He was so informative and very personable. I wish we could have walked with him all day! He gave us recommendations on where else to visit, where to have lunch, and where to shop! Highly recommend.

5.00Our family had an amazing experience with Francesco as our tour guide in Florence! Francesco shared his knowledge of this beautiful city during our 6 hour walking tour. We especially enjoyed visiting several artisans and learning about their craft. After spending the morning in Florence we took a taxi to Michelangelo Plaza to enjoy the views and then had lunch together enjoying more spectacular views. The afternoon was spent in The Academia as we learned about all of the art and history - and of course seeing The David. Francesco was such a delight to spend time with. This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip!
A perfect tour!

5.00Francesco has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Florence. It's a walk through some of the most interesting parts of the central city. Ours was a private tour, so we could ask questions about anything, not only history, art, and architecture, but also where to shop for leather! :-) He brings the city alive! Florence has SO much to see, and such a rich history, it's nearly impossible to really figure it out on your own. Francesco will help you make the most of your visit. We did this tour on our first full day of being in Florence, so it was a great orientation that benefited us for the whole time. Two thumbs up, five stars, all of that!
Francesco was extremely knowledgeable and well organized. Even on an extremely crowded day we were able to see a lot!

5.00We have done several tours in our three weeks in Italy and this one was by far the best! Our guide was a walking Wikipedia of Florence!

5.00What a wonderful experience--best guided tour I've had! Was like a casual stroll through Florence with an extremely well rounded and knowledgeable friend. This is a perfect way to take in some of Florence's (and Italy's) amazingly rich history in a relaxing way -- letting your guide lead the way which takes the stress out of wondering how to focus your time. Francesco came highly recommended and did not disappoint! He told entertaining stories that brought that history to light and made it memorable. He also gave excellent honest tips and advice on where to go before and after our tour (sightseeing, shopping, eating and drinking!).
Dante's itinerary

5.00We took part in a walk through the streets of the center of Florence following in the footsteps of the characters of Dante's Inferno. A truly original tour for two voices: Francesco our guide (this time more historical-literary than artistic, but always engaging!) and his daughter Laura effective declaimer of verses of the great poet. Very pleasant and interesting experience.

5.00Francesco is a very prepared and professional guide, but this is not enough, he is also nice, funny and patient .. The Florentine walks with him are enriched not only by history and art but also by love plots and plots, curiosities and ancient daily habits of Florentine and non-Florentine families .. Thanks to him I regained interest in my city ..
