We needed a hotel close to the cruise dock in Miami but not overly expensive. I booked the Boutique Hotel 439 nw 4th ave a renovated old building with mixed reviews. From the outside not so inspiring. But inside nicely renovated, a step back in time of a slower pace life. Quiet neighborhood. Small room but very clean and nice appointments. Comfortable bed good hot water and WiFi. The only negative was there were no restaurant or grocery stores within walking distance that we could find. We really liked it and will stay there again if we leave out of Miami instead of Fort Lauderdale.

My kids had a lot of fun with Martina at the Uffizi Gallery. We all loved the treasure hunt, so much fun! If you travel with kids, private tours are the only way to go!

What a fabulous day we spent in Florence with Giulia. We spent about 5 hours taking in all the sites. Giulia was quick, insightful and her knowledge of art was impeccable. I have never had so much description of the 'David'. I would highly recommend this tour.

Leonardo was the best guide ever! We loved the tour, it was my dream to see the David! Just book it!

Would’ve given a zero but it wouldn’t let me. Your charter or tour guide canceled on my wife and I less than 24 hours before.

My husband, two teenage children, and I took this tour in June. Our tour guide (whose name I wish I could remember) was wonderful. We learned a lot about the Medici family, which was fascinating, And she even talked with my teenage daughter (a bookworm) about writers in Florence. We’d walked around the city on our own the day before, but had a better appreciation of the sights after the tour. And best of all, she could talk in detail about Michelangelo and about David, pointing out many different features from different angles. Even my teenage son enjoyed the tour. I was a bit concerned as there weren’t any recent reviews on this site, but I had no reason to worry. The guide was waiting for us at the appointed location, she was a professional tour guide who spoke perfect English, extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and wanted to make sure we had a great experience. We really enjoyed our morning with her!

Hi The guide was very nice and friendly .her spoken English was difficult to understand , her English vocabulary was weak, she was knowledgeable but could not make it interesting

Our Tour Guide Maria was fantastic, she was very knowledgable and you could tell she loves her job. I could have listened to her all day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Guide for local. Very knowledgeable. Adapted to our requests. Was very pleased. In additon to Gallery Academia, she took us to various Santa Croce church and Santa Maria Novella.

Maria was our skip the line private tour guide for our day trip to Pisa from Livorno,during our honeymoon last month (September 2019. We were in Pisa 9/27/19). She was awesome! Gave us very interesting information and tailored to our interests based on our conversations. Thank you so much for helping make our time in Italy amazing, Maria!

We had an amazing experience on our guided, private tour with Bianca! She was extremely knowledgeable, patient, professional, and answered all of our questions. The tour itself was informative and we saw historical Florentine highlights, even including a stop by a famous espresso shop! This tour was one of the most memorable on our trip to Italy. We highly recommend Private Tours, especially Bianca!

This tour was personal and full of amazing information, a million times better then a group walking tour we did earlier. Ludavica was a wonderful guide and told me more about the Medici family then a previous Medici tour we did on af tours. The ease of her getting our tickets ahead of time for the dome climb was amazing !!!! Don’t pass this tour up.

Leonardo was terrific. His depth of knowledge of the history behind everything we saw made the tours so much more interesting. I can’t imagine touring FLORENCE with him as our guide

This private tour of Pisa is the best way to navigate a very crowded area in the summer! Our guide Maria was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the city. She also offered recommendations to local area restaurants. One of which we ate in and enjoyed. She also considered the needs of our group which included both teenagers and younger children.

We had a very enjoyable tour with Emilia from Private tours. Emilia was punctual and respectful. She was very knowledgeable of the area and history of Florence and Florentine families. We skipped the line at the Academia and got a wonderful informative tour of David. Emilia includes charming antidotes and stories wherever she can during her tours. Emilia was happy to point out the best shops for jewelry and leather. We appreciated this very much as we did spend time shopping after our tour and lunch. Emilia walked us directly to a fantastic restaurant and made sure we had a table before she left. It was one of the best meals we had on our trip! I would enthusiastically recommend Private tours and most importantly Emilia who was a terrific tour guide.
