Best Tour Guide I’ve Ever Had! - Becky was the best tour guide EVER! She was so knowledgeable, fun, friendly, and full of historical facts-truly the best experience I’ve ever had on a guided tour. The three hours flew by we had so much fun, it’s really evident she cares about what she does and that people have a good time. If you are in Florence book the tour and request Becky, you will not regret that decision!

Becky is the BEST Guide I’ve Ever Had-Take the Tour! - Becky was the absolute BEST guide I’ve ever had! She came in last minute to fill in for the guide that couldn’t make it-we lucked out because she was so kind, fun, full of knowledge-truly passionate about what she does and it shows! It felt like the tour flew by because it was so fun and learned so much about the history and culture in the process. If you’re in Florence, book the tour and please request Becky, you will not be disappointed:)

Amazing City - We had a guided tour with an amazing person who unfortunately I cannot remember her name- she has Croatia connections. She was a font of information! Great stories about the history of Florence which was a delight to hear. I would highly recommend this tour, specifically if it’s with this lady. Thanks

Great walk8ng tour - We had a great walking tour with our guide, Lisa. The pace was good, and we experienced an expansive variety of the art, architecture, history and culture that Florence offers. It was a great way to become familiar with the city center, learn how to navigate the labyrinth of streets, and appreciate the role that Florence played in Renaissance Italy. Thank you Lisa.
