Michele did a phenomenal job of providing us a Florence family tour. He provided lots of colorful facts and stories from the time Florence began as Roman city to the modern times and how it evolved. He also provided us a walking tour and had great tips on trying Gelato and other fun things to eat. Now we know how to correctly pronounce pistachio the Italian way and we got an understanding of Pinocchio 😊. I highly recommend spending a day with Michele!

Laura was fantastic! In the past 40 years I've visited Florence 31 times already, yet Laura still and unexpectedly showed me things I hadn't seen before. She has a great knowledge of the city and of it's history and habits, she's very kind and open, it's a fantastic and unusually lovely experience!

Michele was awesome. Friendly. Engaging. Energetic. Knowledgeable. He arranged a tour based on our interests on the Medici family with visits to Medici Chapel and Palazzo Vecchio. It was four adults. He adapted to our need to stretch out our aperitivo break! Really, why rush drinking the aperol spritz! I have found private tours using Withlocals to be the highlight of all our tours in Florence and Venice. When I return to Firenze, I will book Michèle again.

We spent a lovely morning in the knowledgable and passionate company that was Omar. Being a proud Florentine showed as he guided us through the history of Florence with local insight.

We had a wonderful morning with Michele. He is a born story-teller and brought us back to the centuries of the de Medici family in Florence. Not too many dates and names, but stories to make us understand the intelligence, power, friendships, religion, intrigue and love for art of this famous family. All whilst walking in the center of the city and pointing out good local restaurants, shops and drinking a cappucino. Michele also gave us tips for our next stop in Tuscany. Thank you Michele for a lovely morning!

We spent a very enjoyable morning with Alessandra walking through the streets of Florence and hearing the stories of the families and powerful people who shaped the city and its architecture. Alessandra is extremely knowledgeable about history and was happy to answer all our questions and adapt the tour to our interests. We loved discovering areas of the city that we wouldnt have otherwise known about.

My husband, son and I had a wonderful historical tour with Laura. Her knowledge of the the history of Florence, obvious passion for the architecture and art of her city, and pride of being born and raised as a Florentine,… made for an incredibly enriching experience. We have all been to Florence on several occasions, so we were looking for a tour that went deeper into the historical aspects of the city. She is a brilliant woman whose depth of knowledge was apparent. She also was open about much of modern Italian life, which I loved learning. On a personal note, she is just a kind and caring person. I would not hesitate to book your next tour with her.

Excellent art history class, if you're interested in the art of Florence and the history of the different families. Very informative! Amazing explanations that brought to life many details that we would have missed or not understood the significance of without the tour.
