Her amazing knowledge of the history of Florence brought the city to life and gave us a foundation of knowledge and familiarity with the city’s main landmarks that will help us throughout our stay in this amazing city.

Best way to see and appreciate Florence! - We had a Great walking tour of Florence! Our tour guide Becky was so friendly and knowledgeable . She was so patient with our questions, or wanting to stop to take pictures. I had been to Florence years ago, and did tours, but never really learned so many interesting facts about the history of Florence. Our experience was so enjoyable!

Highly recommend! - We took this tour as a primer to Florence's long, complicated history, and our guide Becky absolutely exceeded our expectations. She gave us history, art, architecture and religious information, all woven together to make a fascinating story that kept us engaged and made our stay in Florence more meaningful. We learned so much and kept referring back to tidbits from Becky for days after. There was a brief stop about halfway through the tour at a cafe (we got coffee but normally it's gelato) which gives you an opportunity to use the restroom. The tour company was responsive and great with communicating any changes to us. If you want to really understand Florence, we highly recommend you take this tour!

Florence walking tour - My wife and recently went on the Florence walking tour via “walk” about tours. The tour was excellent, very intimate with only seven people! Becky, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, she answered all our questions and provided very interesting anecdotal information. We highly recommend this tour it’s far better than those large impersonal tour groups.
