- mtess220 contributionsUffizi tour with MartinaWe did a morning Uffizi tour with Martina with 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 6-12). Martina was the best guide we have ever had, for both kids and adults alike. She has a deep knowledge of the museum content, often pointing out certain things that we could tell no other guide did. But at the same time she was great at keeping the kids engaged with the treasure hunt/ trivia game, and also how to best navigate the museum, knowing exactly when and where to take a break or keep moving. As an example, for many of the paintings, she had the kids come up close and then sit on the floor, while she described what was so special about that piece. All of the adults learned a lot, and I was surprised that the kids were genuinely captivated and had energy for the entire tour. I can’t speak for the other guides, but would not hesitate to recommend Martina.Written August 11, 2024
- Rooter550 contributionsExceptional tour with an exceptional host!Dilara was an exceptional host. She showed us many, many different locations as well as some of her personal favourites. The tastings were excellent and showcased the variety and quality of the local products. She went out of her way to accommodate our varied interests and needs. Dilara was both knowledgeable as well as passionate about Florence.Written April 26, 2024

- jenc4120150 contributionsDisappointedDisappointed. I booked the private tour for kids at the Uffizi Gallery several months in advance at 9am and was notified in the evening before the tour that my tour was canceled. They offered another tour at 2:30 but we had a train ticket booked already to leave Florence. When I wrote the company that 2:30 time would not work, they refunded my money but did not bother to offer any other tours that morning. Had to scramble to find another tour!Written August 8, 2023
- Régis V0 contributionsAn amazing moment for the kids (and us too)Grazie mille, Martina (our guide) was fabulous, the kids had a blast and an amazing time (and we too) 👍. We also had perfect insight for a great pizzeria and amazing gellateria for for the kids, both a bit off the beaten tracks, more « local » flavored (i.e. less turistico 😎). Thanks again for making our discovery of Firenze such an unforgettable memory.Written July 19, 2023

- breegez0 contributionsWonderful tour and guide!!The family tour of the Uffizi was excellent! Our guide Ginerva was wonderful. We liked how this tour wasn't a scavenger hunt. The game Ginerva had the kids play engaged them and made them study each art piece so that they got the most out of the experience. We were so grateful to have seen the Uffizi this wayWritten June 12, 2023

- 230jessiek0 contributionsHighly recommendedI'm so glad I booked this tour my first night in Florence. Stefania was a warm, engaging, extremely knowledgeable guide. The tour covered the city's interesting history, cultural highlights and also gave me a good idea of the layout of the city. It also helped clarify different places I want to make sure to visit while I'm here. Very glad I took the tour at night as the city looks especially beautiful illuminated at night and there are fewer tourists out at that time. Stefania answered any/all questions I had and kindly gave recommendations for restaurants and points of interest as well. I highly recommend this tour, especially on your first night in the city.Written March 9, 2023
- richk5900 contributionsGreat way to start a visit!Definitely do this! The 2 hour tour with a local guide early in our visit definitely made our trip more meaningful. Giulio was our guide and he told us so much we might not have learned and gave good advice for what else to see.Written October 24, 2022
- 556mikalam0 contributionsMust do in FLORENCEThis tour was 5 stars!!! We had the best tour guide (Aurora) who made the experience so worth it. She was an expert on all things Florence and was so fun and easy to talk to. We only did a day trip to Florence so we wanted to book a tour. She showed us all the best spots in Florence and helped us explore the beautiful city while tasting the staples food and wine. This is a must do when visiting Florence and you must ask for Aurora! You will not be disappointed.Written September 2, 2022
- lilysT1280RG0 contributionsAmazing private tour with kids!Ilaria Perini kept our two boys (11 and 9) engaged and interested for 2.5 hours inside the Ufizzi! She was funny, honest, informative, and knew exactly the kinds of things that would be of interest to both the kids and me and my husband. I can’t say enough good things about her!Written June 22, 2022

This tour was a great value in comparison to other local tours and we had more than enough great food! The star of the show was really our guide Lorenzo though! He told us so many interesting facts about the food, the history of the city, and the culture of Italy! He also gave us a ton of great advice for traveling in Florence and other cities!

Marilisa was our tour guide and she was fantastic! We were a group of 13 of my family members celebrating my sister’s birthday. Marilisa was so passionate and knowledgeable about everything she shared with us from the food, the outdoor and indoor market, and the history of Florence. She responded to our questions and always had a smile as she guided us through the tour. We all had a fabulous time and I am so grateful for having crossed paths with Marilisa. She definitely made the experience a memory of a lifetime!

This was a great tour and you can’t go wrong for the price. Great value! Aurora was super helpful and provided a lot of information. Loved this tour!
Aurora was also very considerate. We had a family with a stroller in our group and she was so considerate in making sure they were able to get around (finding a ramp vs steps etc). Although it wasn’t my family, I thought that was very sweet!!

Aurora was a lovely guide who gave a great tour of Florence with a lot of knowledge about the local area and food. It was a small ish group, but it was well catered for. All the samples were delicious. It's not a 'stuff yourself full' amount of food, but it was more than enough to be a lunch for us. I would definitely reccomend this food tour. It was good value for money.

We really enjoyed the tour. Anna was friendly, informative and funny. She explained a bit about the history of the food we were tasting. She gave many interesting pieces of information as we walked to the different food places. And yes, the food was delicious.

I wanted to do this to expand my palette and try some authentic local food. I was not disappointed. It was such an incredible experience. Lorenzo made everyone feel included and was well liked by all the locals. Great guy and very knowledgeable on history of the city architecture and cuisine. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The best experience I’ve had on my vacation. Arrive hungry

Good value for the price. A bit too long and a lot of waiting around in the market. The pasta was amazing (all 4 raviolis...) and the gelato too. You won't be super full after this, but it's enough if you are a bit hungry.
Aurora was nice, answered all our questions and gave us recommendations or places to eat.
