Intro to Florence - Irina was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so many things during our private tour! This was just the right way to adjust to the new time zone and get a feeling for Florence. Irina's English was excellent, and she also offered lovely advice for wine tastings and restaurants. Thank you!

Excellent guideQ - Irina is a terrific guide. It was my first visit to Florence, with two of my sisters, and the walking tour with Irina was a definite highlight! She was engaging and personable and treated our questions seriously, taking time to answer them based on her extensive knowledge and familiarity with the city and its amazing history. We saw the main tourist sights but also the unexpected backstreets and hidden gems. Her enthusiasm was infections; we came home and binged on the Medici TV series! Thank you, Irina, for a wonderful experience.

Private Tour - Captivating and Absolute Joy - Irina was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and made our 1.5 hour tour an absolute joy. Irina brought us through the religious and political centers of Florence and presented detail of numerous buildings, churches, and statutes. Truly captivating and worth your time for a light tour. A great value too for what she delivers.

We learnt a lot, we had fun - We spent a lovely afternoon with Irina who couldn’t have been more friendly, informative and relaxed. She had a huge wealth of knowledge which she skilfully passed on to us with grace and humour and by the end of the tour it felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend. Thanks Irina for making our stay in Florence so enjoyable.

We spent 15 days in Italy with 8 in Florence and rural Tuscany, both of which we absolutely loved, as did our kids - 7 and 5. - Great short tour with a lot of important historical details about the city and the region. Irina was knowledgeable and very interesting. She also did a great job incorporating our 7yo daughter into the story telling which kept the kid engaged throughout the 2 hrs. Strongly recommend!

Great Tour!!! - Irina was an amazing tour guide. I had previously done a tour of Florence and she gave a whole new perspective and so much new information that makes this a must do, even if you havd taken another tour before. Irina is very easy to understand and clearly loves her adopted city.
