Wonderful tour and would do again! - What a great tour with Irina! She is very knowledgeable about the history of Florence and makes it come alive with her stories. My father needed extra help due to mobility issues and she was very accommodating. Our whole family enjoyed the tour and in fact we did 3 other private tours with Irina. I would highly recommend any tour with Irina and would happily contact her again when in Florence.

Manuela was outstanding - Our private tour with Manuela was absolutely amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, having come here since she was a child with her father. Had we just wandered on our own without her stories, I feel we would have missed out on 90% of the experience. And being private, the interaction was so special in that we got to discuss how the artists matured, differences in styles between Leonardo, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Caravaggio and more. Who knew Caravaggio painted a hidden self-portrait in his Bacchus painting?

A brilliant and well-educated tour guide for Florence! - The Uffizi private tour with Irina was a highlight for us, due to the multiple paintings by Bellini that were on display. Irina's knowledge of the painter was impressive! We heard stories of his life, his models, and his problems as a painter during the Renaissance in Florence. Bellini's paintings simply glow with color and light because the artist used innovative techniques do produce richer colors and shading. Irina was a terrific guide, giving us many personal stories about the artists whose work we viewed during the private tour. Her use of her iPad to support her teaching was excellent. When we complimented her style of being a guide, she simply stated that she knew it was an honor to educate people on the history and art of Florence. We highly recommend Irina when you are in Florence and wanting to learn about the museums, galleries, artists and what they produced.

Amazing Gallery and guide - Irene was absolutely incredible! Knowledgeable, patient, perfect pace, very respectful and friendly. She was amazing, as was the Uffizi. Some of the most beautiful art on the planet - all from Italian artists. Absolutely go, and ask for Irena

Fantastic experience! - Irena was a fantastic guide! She was SO knowledgeable and made the stories behind the paintings come alive! We were so fortunate to gain wonderful insight into the iconic Rennaissance art we saw! Irena tailored our visit to us and what we wanted to see. She knew all the hidden corridors to get to the quickest elevators and bathrooms. She even knew the whole life story of an artist we asked about who wasn’t even featured in the Uffizi! The symbolism of the paintings was explained so well. We will forever remember our tour with Irena thru Viator. We can highly recommend her!

Uffizi tour and first time in Florence. - Thankyou Irina for such an enthralling and wonderful tour of the Uffizi. You captivated both of us. It was enlightening to hear the artist, period and history explained while looking at the pictures and sculptures. The small details were some of the most interesting.
