Amazing afternoon spent touring Florence with Stefano! What a beautiful soul. We were informed of so many city features and hot spots. He was quick to offer us suggestions for dinner, drinks and shopping for the rest of the trip and was so expressive and excited to be showing us his city. Truly a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! It was also great to do this tour after having walked around for a day as we had questions that Stefano was happy to answer and explain. I would 10/10 recommend having a tour with Stefano!

Ivan, my tour guide was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Florence. Don't think I would have been able to get such intimate details if I was with a big group. He has the patience of a saint. He was prompt for my pickup. He was able to share information about restaurants, etc. I would definitely recommend.

Wow....Stefano was Fantastic! I scheduled this tour for the day we arrived in Florence to get the "lay of the land" for our next several days and I am so glad that I did! Stefano picked us up right in front of our hotel and the next 1.5 hrs were amazing! He took us by nearly every major attraction and gave us such insightful information. My husband had an interest in the medieval areas, so he took us there and explained not only how they lived back then, but pointed out the differences in architecture, streets and reasons why, for example, doors/gates were actually higher than street level. I could go on, but don't want to spoil it for others! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking with Stefano because his knowledge of not only the city, but the history and information that comes along with it are superior. Well worth every penny and more!!

Stefano was passionate about showing us his Florence. He was friendly and knowledgable and capable of imparting this knowledge in an engaging way. He went above and beyond to focus on sights and issues of interest to us. He faced the challange of some very steady rain but this did not "dampen" his entusiasim and he kept to his programme and schedule. Even dropping us back to the station for our return to Rome.
We would highly recommend his tour and even in such a realtively short time we felt it made our short visit much more worthwhile and memorable. Well Done and Good Luck we hope many more travellers take this tour.

Great tour. Our 1.5 hour trip turned into 2, and we loved every second of it. Evan was a great guide and his knowledge of his home city was amazing.
Highly recommend.
