So happy we booked a tour!! - Dina was the best! We booked a Highlights and hidden gems tour in Florence for my husband and 2 kids 15/13. Dina was truly awesome. Communication was fantastic pre tour and during - she provided us with so many fun facts and interesting stories. (Ones you cant google!) We saw sights, learned the history and her restaurant knowledge is A+.Dina was so easy to be with, very personable and fun. She is also so kind and super helpful. My daughter, 13 missed the tour because she was sick. Dina had checked in with me to see how she was doing and if we needed anything. Wow! How incredibly thoughtful. Dina goes above and beyond. Don’t hesitate i highly recommend booking with Dina!!

Outstanding - We had a tour of Florence with Dina and from the moment we met, I knew we’d made the right choice. Dina is a rare combination of passionate, deeply knowledgable, charming and funny. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is thinking of doing anything with "a local" in Florence. Her care, kindness and love for her city are unmatched in my opinion x

Delightful time in Florence - My wife and I met up with Maja in the morning at a square and strolled around Florence like friends on a walk. We had specified we did not need her to guide us thru museums and such, just the streets and the history. The morning was a delight and Maja was open to any possibility.

He guided us through Florence’s enchanting streets, revealing hidden gems and immersing us in the city’s rich culture. Mateo’s passion for Florence was infectious—he gave us fantastic food recommendations, must-visit spots, and insider tips on where to shop like a local. His knowledge and enthusiasm made us feel like we were discovering the heart of Florence alongside a friend. Mateo is a gem himself, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Exceptional - This was our first withlocals tour and we were blessed to have the inestimable Matteo as our guide. He showed us the well known & lesser known gems of Florence, interspersed with fascinating historical (Game of Thrones are amateurs!) & personal stories, all weaving Florentine history together. There were so many highlights - a few would be Michelangelo’s crucifixion made when he was only 17yo, that art & politics are not separate (we see the Piazza della signoria with new eyes), and Matteo himself. Excellent recommendations for coffee, an enoteca, and an aperitivo were acted upon. We cannot recommend the knowledgeable, friendly & personable Matteo enough - if you were at a dinner party, you would want to be sat beside Matteo.
