Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide - Very knowledgeable guide who adapted to a rainy day. Because of heavy rains we had to change our tour somewhat and wound up spending a lot of time at the Medici Chapel, that turned out to be a real treat as it is one of the most beautiful sights in Florence and it was relatively empty. Irina was a great and engaging guide who was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time and would definitely recommend.

We loved Irina’s stories about the rich history of Florence! 👍🏻👍🏻 - We did a 3 hour tour of Florence with Irina. We learned so much from her about Florentine history and the deMedici family. She paced our tour at a comfortable rate for our small multi - generational group of 6. We were able to ask questions throughout the tour, and she kept our group engaged and entertained.

Irina was an exceptional... - Irina was an exceptional tour guide. We enjoyed learning so much about the history of Florence. Irina was delightful and so well educated on the arts and history. As far as the tour our error not realizing no museums or churches were actually included. We covered so much and Irina made sure to have photos on a tablet but we didn’t get to actually go inside.
