      Best trip of our vacation
      This tour is wonderful. We were picked up at our hotel, driven to Pisa and treated to a special day learning Tuscan history. We received skip the line access to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We then were driven to Lucca where we had lunch and another private tour of the beautiful city. We were given time to ask questions, shop in quaint shops, and try special foods. This was worth the price. We were well care for and had a great day. This tour made the rest of tours seem generic. This tour gave us the chance to talk and learn. We were driven home happy and pleasantly tired after the best day ever.

      Excellent Vatican Experience
      Excellent personalised experience with a very interesting and amusing guide. Felt we could ask anything we wanted and the tour was the highlight of our trip to Rome.

      An absolute must
      We booked this as a last-minute thing and are so glad that we did. We only had 24 hours in the wonderful city and so this was the best way for us to knock off all the things that we needed to see. And it was only two hours. If you do this, specifically ask for Aurora. She was a great tour guide. She was sweet, funny, knowledgeable and had a great way about the way she took us along all the sights. Would give her my highest recommendation.

      A wonderful city, which you need to allocate at least 2 days.
      Florence, in my opinion, is an open-air museum. I really liked this city. My wife was dissatisfied with him, said that she expected more. For her, the whole architecture is boring, monotonous, and unimpressive. To me, on the contrary, it seemed that the city perfectly shows the Renaissance, all the exhibits and architecture are designed in the right style. We did not visit all the attractions that we had planned, because in the middle of the day it began to rain heavily. All photos are attached. If you have the opportunity, visit all the most important sights, we followed the following route: Mercato Nuovo, San Miniato al Monte, Piazza della Repubblica, Basilica of Santa Croce, Palazzo Pitti, Piazzale Michelangelo, Galleria dell'Accademia, Palazzo Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, Santa Maria del Fiore, The Uffizi Galleries. We also visited the Museo Casa di Dante, I can not say that I really liked this museum, but if there is an opportunity, it is worth getting to know Dante Alighieri better, because he made a great contribution to the development of the city according to the guide. We had lunch at the restaurant Matto Matto, here is an exclusive Italian cuisine, delicious food, selected according to reviews, liked the place, good service, everything was quickly prepared. It turned out to be expensive – about 50 euros, but we did not deny ourselves anything. We took excursions around the city, because it was difficult to organize trips to the sights ourselves. But because of this, they were tied to other tourists. I advise you to explore all the places yourself, but for this you need to have a few days in Florence. One day is not enough. The city is very interesting, and we only spent an hour at The Uffizi Galleries.

      Wonderful introduction to Florence.
      So glad that we selected this walking tour for our first evening in Florence. It was a wonderful orientation to this beautiful city which has so many treasures. Glenda is excellent - very knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. Her love for Florence is contagious and made us appreciate all the more the treasures we encountered. Her recommendations were most helpful. Great tour!

      Great tour and guide
      Our family of 4 had a great day with Bianca in Florence. We learned so much about the art and history of Florence. We would never had learned so much on our own. It was great to have a guide in the Uffizi to show us the highlights since the museum is so large. The statue of David was beautiful and we appreciated all the information that Bianca had for us. Private Tours was easy to work with and had good communication. We took 3 tours with them and all were great. Thank you Bianca for a fun day in Florence.

      Mr
      On Monday 24th of June 2019 my family and I took a tour of Cinque Terre. It was a great experience and I highly reccomend it for anyone to see. The tour guide Anastasia and colleagues were brilliant. Anastasia offered great customer service and always went out of her way to make sure all her guests were well looked after. Well done team.

      Skip-the-Line Florence Highlights and David Walking Tour
      Alberto our guide was excellent, unfortunately for him the heavens opened and the rain fell!.. Alberto was very informative and certainly knew his history of the city with funny anecdote occasionally slipped in. Unfortunately the Skip the Line into the Academia of David proved to be a 40 minute wait! Not sure if this is the norm or down to the weather and people seeking shelter !

      Excellent guided tour!
      Amazing trip to Siena, San Gimignano, wine tasting (including lunch) in Chanti, and famously landmark of torre di pissa! Well worth your money, highly recommended!! Wish you could have stayed a bit longer at some of those places but there is just so much you can do on a one day trip. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, very approachable at all times.

      Definitely worth it!
      We enjoyed every bit of this tour and it was a neat surprise that the tour ended up with just the 2 of us so it was a private tour! Daniel was full of knowledge and communicated well. He knew a lot of history but also some neat trivia. He was warm and friendly and had a great sense of humour! We had lots of questions and he was able to answer them all really well. The time passed way too quickly and we learnt a LOT for sure. Would recommend this for sure, especially if you have a limited time for your visit, as you wouldn't know to do any of this on your own - it is well worth it!

      Night tour of Florence, 2 hour walk
      I was traveling by myself and thought this would be the best way to become acquainted with Florence (this was my second walking tour). Although it was night time, everyplace was well light. Our tour guy was excellent and explained the history of many of the high lights of Florence. I would recommend this tour.

      Florence sightseeing tour with a local guide evening tour (TG3)
      We had an amazing tour with Daniel. He is very knowledgeable and not boring. We walked through the streets while giving us insights about Florence’ history as well as the wonderful sights. From Medici family to paintings and sculptures. We really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended.

      Great way to see the city without crowds
      Daniel was our guide and he was wonderful. He came to our hotel and we started walking and talking immediately. Florence is such a beautiful city, was so interesting to see in the evening. All sites were very well lit. The walk was not difficult, flat, some cobble stone roads so need to wear comfortable shoes. There was musicians playing in some of the more popular Florence sites, that really added to the evening!

    First, we had no problems finding the meeting point even though this was our first day in Rome. The directions were very precise and all of the people for City Walkers were incredibly friendly and efficient in checking everyone in. Our tour guide was Ini and he was fabulous! He’s very knowledgeable about the Colosseum’s history and kept the group (about 18 people - young children, teens and adults) engaged and interested. The headsets were a bonus because it was crowded and we were all able to hear him and stay together with minimal disruptions. Sadly, our trio had to leave after the Colosseum and did not get to see the Forum or Palantine Hill, but I would not hesitate to do the tour again with City Walkers and Ini!
