Stephano was simply amazing! His knowledge and passion for Florence was easily transferred to us. His tour was the best one I have experienced not only on Viator but also with personal guides. He was able to pick us up at one location and drop us at the train station making the most of our short time in Florence. We learned more on his tour than we did on the earlier 4 hour tour of the city. Can not express our gratitude and enjoyment of his company. Truly our favorite event of our two weeks in Italy.

Stefano was wonderful and really brought the city and its history to life. He was a great guide, very knowledgeable and passionate. He was very flexible and ok with stopping for a quick bathroom / drink break. The rickshaw was very comfortable and fun. I would absolutely recommend him for a tour of Florence. If we are ever back in the city, we will be sure to book a tour with him.

We had a fabulous tour around Florence and our guide was extremely knowledgable and more than happy to answer any questions we had. We only arrived in Florence the same day so it was a great way to get our bearings and see all the top sights. The communication prior to and after the tour was top class. If you are thinking about booking this tour you won’t regret it. 10/10!!

We had a great time being guided through the streets of Florence with Stefano. We recommend doing this early in your visit as it gives you the lay of the land. If you're like us and are not the biggest museum people but like learning about the city, we couldn't recommend this enough. Stefano had endless amounts of knowledge and spoke English very well.

We arrived in Florence at midday , checked into our apartment and hopped straight into the rickshaw at 1pm. Ivan kindly collected us from our apartment as I have difficulty walking which was so lovely of him. It was pouring with rain but a warm blanket and a substantial cover made the whole trip super comfortable. Ivan took us to the main attractions which were stunning and his knowledge was incredible but it was the backstreets that gave us so much enjoyment and not passable by cars. Ivan showed us the restaurants and coffee shops off the tourist track which we visited during our 5 day break and they were all fabulous and half the price of their “famous” competitors. I would do it all again without a doubt.

We had Ivan as our tour guide. The rickshaw service was such a fun and unique way to experience the beautiful city of Florence. We had walked past a few spots he stopped but didn’t know any of the details to the buildings or signage. Ivan shared so many interesting historical facts and took pictures of us at every spot so that we can have the memories to last a lifetime!!

This was a really nice way to see Florence. Our guide was wonderful and very helpful. He gave us local recommendations of places to do and things to eat, and also what places to avoid that are tourist traps.

We had a great afternoon with Ivan who was knowledgeable, answered our questions and took time to bring the tour to life.
It was a great way to get to know the key places so we could decide where to go back and spend more time.
Ivan was also happy to share some recommendations and his personal favorites.
Stefano contacted us by WhatsApp on the morning of the tour and even offered to reschedule if we didn’t want to do the tour in the rain.
Would really recommend.
