Bring out the popcorn - this is great infotainment 🍿 - Our guide Michele told great stories that made the cultural history and art of Florence come alive: the politics of the Medici family, the writings of Dante, the art of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. Fun, lighthearted, yet profound. This man loves his city and gave us some valuable insider tips regarding cultural and culinary highlights. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Highly recommended - 10/10 - The tour I joined was operated by Chiara. She ticked all the boxes that a fantastic tour guide should be: passionate, knowledgeable, engaging, personable. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you so much to Chiara for bringing Florence to life in an unforgettable way.

Excellent Guide! - This was a free walking tour - you just pay a tip at the end - most pay €10/15. Our guide Chiara was fantastic- I have done several walking tours in Florence before, but with her I learnt lots of new things that I didn’t know. Really a great way to discover a city. Do the tour on your first day then see what interests you to explore further.

Best Tour of Florence - When we booked our tour we weren’t expecting much for the price. But it turns out we got much more than we paid for. our tour guide Michael not only exceeded our expectations but tailored the tour for what the group wanted to see. We learned so much about the history of Florence! He was engaging, enthusiastic and clearly had a passion for Florence and its rich history. We would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Florence. We did this our first night and got wonderful recommendations for the rest of our trip.
