Sandra our tour guide is awesome. She certainly knows her stuff n gives me her knowledge of Florence and the way she has of explaining them to us is the very thing that endears her to us…. And marks her as a class a super guide. Then the following day ( think it was Dec 4 n 5) she was also our guide at the uffizi gallery. Her knowledge of the Medici family n the famous artists paintings that adorns the galleries were done in excellent form. Even the way she describes David in all his glory are the details that made David fascinating. To crown it all, she personally went out in the pouring rain to call us two taxis to enable my wheelchair friend minimal walk . Mycompliments to Sandra. Can’t remembered her last time but we were six. My friends family of 5 n I.

Aldo was fabulous. We had so much fun, and learned so much from him. The food was amazing and I don’t think we would have found the places without a guide

We were able the see the main highlights of Florence with our private guide Monica. Having Monica there to help us navigate the city, and museums was very valuable. We didn’t feel lost or overwhelmed trying to find the “must see” art and sights of Florence. She was with us through the exhibits to provide insight to the history of all we saw. What would have taken hours to research she was able to explain, and even interlink the people and places of Florence’s history. No wait tickets into all the exhibits. This city requires a lot of walking, but there were plenty times for breaks. This private tour was worth every cent.

We took several private tours and Monica was the guide on each one. The private wine tasting from Florence was great. Monica knows a lot about wine and we learned so much about the area and the wine. Monica took her time and explained all things wine in that area. And our second tour with Monica was a full day at Pisa and Lucca. Pisa was beautiful and most people know about that but Lucca was such a beautiful place. Monica explained a lot of the history in both those areas. Monica is a great guide and the driver for both tours was Alexander and he maneuvered around lots of traffic and we always felt save. These tours were wonderful. Ask for her on any tour and you won’t be disappointed.

Bobbie was amazing, so much information and a pleasure to be with. She offered recommendations for other places in the city. Would happily tour with her again.

Our agent planned for us a Private 1/2-day Accademia and Uffizi Tour with Liv Tours. It was just for my husband and myself on our 3rd day in Florence. WE arrived on Monday late afternoon, and were so glad to be able to get oriented around Florence and save our energy and attention for Wednesday morning for an amazing tour of important works and collections at the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery. What we hadn't known was that we would have such an amazing Tour Guide in Silvia! What a true treat and gift to meet her in front of the Cafe Rivoire in Piazza della Signoria at 10am! We only just met her and her effervenscent self which shone throughout the tour in addition to the pride she exuded telling us of these important works and history as it formed Florentine and Italian culture. A true and proud born and raised Florentine herself, she is steeped in local and ancient lore that she was generous in sharing with us. We had not yet had breakfast since we walked so much the day before, and slept in longer than we anticipated before the morning of the tour. But, Silvia was absoloutely charming, warm and friendly and even concerned we hadn't yet had breakfast, so we stopped first to enjoy our cappucino and steamed milk tea while she spoke about what we were to accomplish in the Private Tour. We could do as much or as little, and customize the tour as we needed as it was just for Us Two. We enjoyed our morning hot drinks while we listened just outside the Uffizi Gallery entrance as Siliva recounted the deep history of the Medici and the impact they had on artwork of the Renaissance and life during these ancient times, including natural science, medicine and intellectual thought. We were to embark on seeing highlights of both galleries, and there is so much to see! We are blessed to have been able to have a Private Tour, and not be on a large tour with a guide and a speaker/headphone set. We really got to hear and enjoyed having Silvia's extensive and amazing expertise and guidance sharing the stories around all the works we saw. We would also get to admire the 17-foot scultpture of David by Michelangel and enjoyed exclusive entrance and passage in to both places. But, first, we needed a quick lunch and we sat and chatted in a small cafe off the Arno with the most amazing panini and juices before leaving for The David! The care, depth of knowledge and extensive hospitality Silvia shared with us unmatched, and definitely was a highlight of our Florence Trip! Thank you again, and we will surely recommend Silvia and LivTours to others and share our positive experience with our agent, Human X Nature Travel!

We did the masterpieces of the renaissance: Uffizi Gallery tour with Babi! It was so incredible. She was able to give us so much more information and context to what we were seeing. Because it was the off season, we ended up getting a private tour and it was so special. Thank you so much to Babi and to LivTours!

Silvia is magnificent. She fashioned a tour of the Uffizi Gallery and the Pitti Palace that hit the highlights of both. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the art work, the buildings, the history and personalities - seemingly everything. Silvia is charming, solicitous, and her English is great.

We loved our Florence walking tour, seeing David and the Duomo with Silvia. She was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our time with her.

Awesome tour guide!!! Guilia was so informative and fun to spend time with! We saw so many great spots and skipped all the lines. Highly recommend a private tour with her.

We had an amazing tour with Monica today. She maneuvered us to the very front of the line and as a result, we were the first people into the museum. We had several minutes viewing the David by ourselves. In addition, Monica gave us great history and background information on the creation of the statue and Michelangelo. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and our time with Monica.

Our driver from Rome to Florence was Fabricio. He is a very customer service oriented, safe driver. He was aware of our needs to stop for breaks. He kept us on time and delivered us to Barbara in Florence on time. Barbara walked us around Florence and her passion for the city was clearly evident. It was a marvelous experience with two fantastic People The tour went from Rome to Florence to Pisa and back to Rome in one day. It was a private tour and well worth it.

Sylvia is a marvelous guide! She was easy to find, knew the museum’s staff, and how to get us about efficiently. We were first to see Michelangelo’s David that morning, thanks to her expertise. Sylvia’s enthusiasm and shared knowledge about the sculpture and its creator enhanced our experience. And she speaks English very well. We highly recommend her as a guide!

Raffi gave us an outstanding tour of Siena and San Gimignano! She was very knowledgeable, personable, and allowed us to enjoy some of the most memorable moments of our Italy trip!

My husband and I enjoyed our Masterpieces of the Renaissance: Uffizi Gallery Tour | Semi-Private Tour with Babi of LivTours. Babi steered us and another couple through crowded galleries always managing to secure us prime viewing of the pieces. She gave us detailed context for the medieval and renaissance periods including the influences of the church and the Medici family. Babi pointed out the artistic elements of each painting which gave me a new appreciation for the works. My husband said after the tour it was like having a college level art history class. The crowds are overwhelming and it is such an advantage to be able to skip the line and have a personal guide in the Uffizi. I highly recommend booking with LivTours.
