Took 2 tours - Original Florence Walk and Masterpieces of the Uffizi with respectively Laura and Helen. Both great and passionate about their subjects. Office staff excellent on the day with a special request we made. Website booking handled very efficiently. Top marks all round. Recommended by Gerard and Suzanne from New Zealand. More

After reading all of the positive reviews about Artviva and its staff, I booked two tours with this agency. My wife and I were not disappointed with both bookings.  This review is for our first walking tour with Sylvia on May 15, 2012. We met Sylvia at the designated meeting place, and she took us for a 3 hour walking... More

This is the best tour group I have ever used! I took several of their tours last summer, and when I was lucky enough to find myself in Italy again, this time with my father, I quickly signed us up for the Florence walking tour and evening tour, the morning in Tuscany tour, the walking tour of Rome and the...

I recently visited the city of Florence. I booked a tour with Art Viva and it was the best tour I have ever been on. Our guide, Sylvia was amazing! Not only did she give her tour in a clear and concise manner but she was also able to recommend restaurants, shopping districts and other 'must see's' in Florence. Excellent!... More

Our family (2 50something parents & 2 20something daughters) thoroughly enjoyed our bike ride/wine tasting/lunch in the Tuscany hills of Florence on the "Original Tuscany Bike Tour." Everything was top quality including the bikes, the villa/wine tasting, and lunch. And the highest quality of all was the tour guide Jessica. She had a wonderful personality,caring & fun mannerism, and knowledge... More

We found all of the tours to be informative and pleasant. ALL of us especially enjoyed Sasha for The Original Florence Walk. However, the Evening w Walk in the Oltrarno district was... More

We spent a day in Tuscany visiting 3 small cities and a winery/B&B -- it was a great day! Our guide, Mark, was fantastic! He was knowledgable, fun, flexible and interesting. He gave our small group lots of options at each stop and allowed us to help direct things, but he was always available with fun facts and interesting tidbits.... More

Excellent tours. Thoroughly enjoyed by all members. Sylvia was great twice (history walking and uffizi tours) and Klaus provided the highlight of a weekend in Florence by sharing his passion about art during the David tour. Would recommend these tours to anyone looking to learn more about Art, Florence and history in a condensed time period. Bravo! ps- although i... More

Although we did have a bit of rain that day, the trip met my expectations. Jessica, I believe was ouu guide, made the ride informative and relaxing. She did a fine job of providing a commentary for our local touring at our stops while still allowing us sufficient time to explore on our own. I did not realize how informative... More
