Knowledgeable tour of Ufizzi and Academia - Susannah was an extraordinary good guide to the Ufizzi and Academia. She was patient, informative, and entertaining. She offered us options and knew what to skip and what to examine more closely. I cannot recommend her highly enough -- she was great.

Beyond amazing! - When a guide is passionate about their subject, tours are educational, steeped in history, and the artwork comes alive. Giacomo was all of this and more. Of the many tours we took over 10 days in Italy, this tour with Giacomo was our favorite. When it was over (and we did not want it to end), we felt as if we had participated in a master’s class. Giacomo gave us insight into the artwork that came before, why it was constructed in the manner it was, who the masters were who taught the legends we know, and the techniques they developed (and why). This tour is worth every penny, and we will long remember our friend, Giacomo! “Highly recommend” doesn’t begin to express our appreciation.

Great Tour of Uffizi and Accademie Museums - This a a great tour because we got the highlights of everything. We didn't get bogged down with every painting and sculpture. Our guide, Ileanea (?) was very nice and informative. We learned a lot too.

Enjoyable Tour and Day - Rosa is a very experienced guide who has worked with your groups world wide. She is very knowledgeable and has a pleasant personality. This was a private tour with my wife and two grown daughters - one of which is a 35 year old with Downes Syndrome. Rose was excellent with her and made sure that she was included throughout the tour. We invited her to lunch with us at a location she recommended. I would highly recommend Rosa, especially if you need to make modifications for the members of your family or group. She went out of her way for us which was sincerely appreciated. Bella Bella Rosa.

Excellent day with a knowledgeable guide - We had a spectacular day of exploring Florence’s art with Cristina. The galleries were predictably crowded, but Cristina made it feel very intimate and special to check out all the big highlights and learn about the evolution of Florentine art through her incredible depth of knowledge. We would’ve missed a lot of the cool insights and special elements of the paintings, especially, if we didn’t have her as a guide. Definitely worthwhile to ensure you get some true grounding in the museums and study some of the masterpieces — otherwise it would just be too overwhelming! The David was a true highlight for us, as were the Botticelli works at the Uffizi.

Fantastic all around - Christina was the most amazing guide we could have asked for. She was fantastic in every way. Her knowledge of the art and buildings blew our minds. She was so fun and engaging- we only wish we could have set up more toura with Christina!

It’s worth a guide in the museums - A long day, but so informative. I recommend asking for ear pieces, even for a small group. The museums can get very crowded, and the tour guides have to keep their voices down. Our guide brought us to the highlights of the Uffizi Gallery, tracing the development of art from Botticelli to Caravaggio. It helped to have her perspective and instruction, otherwise everything can get overwhelming.
