Our group of ten (two families of five each) spent two days with Chiara and absolutely loved her! Chiara is great at building an itinerary that is of interest to families with kids of all ages. As an example, the adults and teenagers enjoyed balsamic vinegar and olive oil tasting while she entertained our younger children with pizza and coloring!... More

My friend and I had a private tour with Laura this morning and it was fabulous. Laura is a native Florentine and her love and knowledge of the city were outstanding. She helped us to understand and appreciate what makes Florence Florence. With a masters degree in art, her explanations of what we were seeing made the art come alive.... More

My husband and I just spent a lovely day touring Florence with Chiara. We were impressed with her knowledge of the city (she is a native of Florence) and the attractions we visited. This experience was so much better than just reading a guide book or taking a bus tour and well worth the expense. She is a former art... More

Our tour guide Adri was one of the best guides we have ever had. She is a native of Florence and loves and appreciates her beautiful city and is wonderful at sharing her passion. We only had one day because we were coming from a cruise ship. She talked to us to understand what we liked to do and we... More

Based on the good reviews on Trip Advisor we arranged a personal tour by Adriana and it was one of the best things we did on our European tour. We were only a few days in Florence and our first day we wandered and saw the famous sights, but it wasn't until Adriana pointed out things and explained the history... More

Chiara was our company (she is not "just" a guide, she becomes your friend!) during our day in Florence. We would never have noticed half of the things she pointed out to us nor visit the Accademia and Ufizzi in a more objective way. Chiara had pre-purchased tickets for both museums and it certainly made our day way more productive,... More

I spent over 6 hours touring Florence with Chiara and she was a remarkable guide. Native born and highly educated, I could have not asked for a better day. The city, history, art, museums and the food, Chiara will cater to your interests. My only regret is how rapidly the day went by. I would recommend Florence Custom Tours and... More

We reserved a full day trip with Chiara and are so happy that we did. She is a wonderful guide for a wonderful city. No wasted time in lines...ask all of the questions that you want...move at your own pace...it just doesn't get any better! Do yourself a favor and spend the day with a warm and knowledgeable local guide... More

The 3 of us just completed a very enjoyable four hour walking tour of Florence with Adria. It was superb! Adria was very knowlegable, attentive and charming. We would certainly recommend booking a tour as we were fast tracked through the queues to see David and the Uffizi. A great day. Grazie Adria

We are two couples who arranged a full day walking tour of Florence. Adriana was our tour guide and we could not have been happier. She was a knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. We saw the sites in Florence and went into the Accademia and the Uffizi gallery. We also toured inside the Basilica of Santa Croce which was beautiful. Adriana... More
