- David and Kari A00Wouldn’t do this gallery without IrinaWe just had an incredible tour today of the UFFIZI gallery with Irina…. We booked based on other Tripadvisor reviews and they were correct… she is the best! Our family couldn’t have imagined attempting this on our own…so many masterpieces are in this gallery and Irina gave us an amazing and relatable explanation of the pieces and how they relate to Florence and the Renaissance. If you are coming to Florence do this tour with Irina! We will recommend to all our friends. Thank you Irina for such a memorable and educational day!
- David and Kari A00Amazing tour of David and Accademia with IrinaOur family had the honor of touring the Accademia and statue of David with Irina. We booked our tour based on her great TripAdvisor reviews and they were spot on- Irina made the entire experience so educational in a relatable way for my wife and me as well as our two teenage children. These family experiences are so much more valuable when you have an engaged guide to make it all come alive which is what Irina did for our family. Don’t think twice- just book this tour!
- D2878CUchristopherg00Informative and enjoyable walking tourIrina was fantastic. She had a deep knowledge and passion for the history of Florence! The early time slot was a great decision considering there were no crowds, which enabled a fluid walking experience.
- minghuif202300Phenomenal tour of the DavidWhat a memorable experience! Irina was a wonderful tour guide. We were able to enter for our tour of the David in the Accademia Gallery on time and Irina provided a fascinating historical perspective on Michelangelo's genius and the challenges he faced in creating the David as well before and after that phase in his life. Breathtaking to see and made even more awe-inspiring by her informative and engaging talk. My husband, two kids (10 and 12 year olds) and I loved it! Thank you, Irina!
- Inspiration58821300David and Accademia Private Guided Tour with IrinaOur guide was Irina. She was amazing. She communicated prior to our scheduled time and was waiting with our tickets in front of the Accademia museum. This was a private tour, just for our family. She was very prepared and had brought her own materials (pictures, etc.) and she had her own headsets to ensure even just the four of us could hear very well in a crowded spots in the museum. She then lead us on a journey through the exhibits telling us the story of Michelangelo and the history of the statue of David. This was an great tour, and I fully recommend you take this tour. Most people walk in a see the David and have no idea of the history and the significance, she was able to tell an amazing story, and teach us about how the marble statues are created, the history of the artist and of Florence. By the time we approached the David we were all in awe. It is an experience you don't want to miss! I highly recommend Irina!
- 444raffaelaa00Great tourI highly recommend this tour. Irina was very knowledgable. She made the tour fun and interesting. Highly recommend this tour or any tours with Irina.
- 30caram00Great Florence orientationIrina gave us a wonderful tour- perfect for getting oriented to the city on our first night. She gave us enough detail to be entertaining without my 11 and 13 year old boys being bored. When we saw museums afterwards, both boys remembered things Irina had taught them. Highly recommend her tour!
- Ameds00Exceptional private tour for family with young kidsWe were visiting Florence with our two young kids and Irina gave us a private tour. Irina was exceptionally knowledgeable and was able to answer any question we could throw at her. Most impressively, she was able to keep our young kids (4 & 6)engaged throughout the whole hour long tour! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
- E3747KXmicheleh00Unforgettable!Irina was simply the best guide imaginable to learn all about Michelangelo’s life and his masterpiece…David. Best hour spent of all of our tours. Everyone should experience David through Irina’s stories and descriptions.
- Deb A00Best there is!!Irina is one of the best tour guides we have ever had!! Our group of 6 was blown away by her knowledge of Florence and the Medici family. Each story or fact led to another equally interesting anecdote. She had us entirely mesmerized for 3 hours. Irina brought Florence to life and left us with such an appreciation of its masterpieces and its history. I would recommended Irina to anyone planning a visit here. Her recommendation for a lunch restaurant was also spot on!
- brianlN3119NC00Great tour with Irina! Start with this first!Great tour with Irina! Very informative and we’re glad we were matched with her. She kept our 2 teenagers engaged as well. Highly recommend you start your stay in Florence with this tour to get a good overview of its history and culture before venturing out on the rest of your vacation. 5 stars!
- Y1332LIamyw00Engaging Tour Through The UffiziAnna was a wonderful guide: warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Throughout the tour, she deftly engaged our entire family, which included our teen son with minimal art history knowledge as well our adult daughter who is an art major in college. Thank you, Anna!
- Becky E00Wonderful tourPrivate tour with Irina was amazing. She is a wealth of knowledge on the history of Florence, art, architecture and important people. She also added in interesting stories and information you wouldn’t get from a book. I would recommend this for everyone!
- FLorraineB00Best Private Guide for David and AccademiaIrina was the best possible guide for this popular and important site. Her knowledge and perspectives made the tour so interesting and fun. Highly recommend!
- Nicole R00A Much Better UnderstandingIrina was a really lovely tour guide. She provided the right amount of context prior to embarking on the tour and continued building on it in a logical sequence throughout our time together. Her excellent command of English and understated sense of humor brought it all to life. Highly recommend this tour and Irina.

Olga was a very good guide. Huge plus to have an intimate, small group. Bonus points to Olga for being attentive to our needs and making sure we could always hear even in difficult crowds (yes, the basics matter!). The tour was wide ranging. We heard stories and went to locations we otherwise wouldn’t have known or seen. My only nit is that the tour is not structured to be informal and conversational - if you have questions you’ll need to get them in between stops.

Irina, our guide, was excellent. She made it feel as though we were in 16th-century Florence through her stories. We passed by a Church that she said was always closed, so she got to see it for the first time with us. Despite it being her first time in the Church, she was able to tell us many stories behind the art in the Church. Truly an expert. She was incredibly thoughtful as well, always looking for shade for us to stand in when she wanted to pause and expand on a particular building/area. Afterward, we asked for a restaurant recommendation, and she walked us to the restaurant entrance, which was above and beyond! Thank you, Irina.

I can only agree with the previous reviews - Irina is the best guide in Florence!
So fantastic that I would honestly never ever even consider any other guide but her. Very passionate and knowledgeable, I was taken away but all of the interesting and context appropriate facts and stories that Irina shared. She did not only give a tour but also provided a deeper understanding for the time period, the people's lives and of course the history of the city. I will always carry this experience with me and can not wait to return to Florence and take part of more of Irina's other guided tours. I truly recommend it if you are looking for an amazing experience whilst in Florence, and thank you Irina i was a pleasure!

This was the best way to start our experience in Florece (Firenze). Our guide Irina was wonderful and insightful. She was very thoughtful and engaged our family including teenage kids in a very personable level. She molded her conversation to us and went beyond the role of “tour guide”. She also had many suggestions and tips for us to enjoy Florence for the remainder of our stay. We highly recommend her to all visiting Florence (Firenze)

Olga’s tour was very informative and taught us a lot about the history of Florence. I would recommend this to first time travelers who want to see where to find some of the lesser known spots to see in the city. Va bene!

If I could give IRINA 7 stars, I would. This is the best tour we had of the city of Firenze. This guide took us to every important place in Florence, she had a great knowledge of the history of the city and its whereabouts. Thanks to her we were perfectly oriented all the time and we visited the best and most unique places there. I strongly recommend this tour, especially our dear guide Irina.

Our walking tour with Irina was one of the best tour experiences we've had. Florence is such a large city, steeped in history, culture and tradition and Irina captured the essence of Florence for us in a way we could not have experienced from a group tour or shorter overview. She is knowledgeable and passionate about her city and her work and it shows in every aspect of the tour. Her friendly demeanor and warm personality made our tour a truly memorable event in our vacation. I would recommend Irina and this tour 100%.
Thank you Irina for a lovely evening and experience - and your restaurant recommendation was perfection!

Irina was a fabulous hostess! We thoroughly enjoyed the cites of this beautiful city and all she shared with us. After many tours, the thing that stood out to me about this one is that it was almost a story. She wove together the people and places of Florence captivating the most interesting pieces of history through the story of the Medici family. She gave many useful suggestions of places to go back and explore in detail on our own and even found some wonderful restaurants for us to try. Irina is personable, bubbly and a fount of knowledge. Thank you again!

Our host Alda was so warm and enthusiastic about her city, it was a pleasure to do this walk with her.
We visited places we would not have normally thought of going to and really valued the experience.
At nearly every step she had some little aside to point out which embellished the unfolding story about this beautiful city.
Would highly recommend this tour.

We really enjoyed the tour!! Irina was a wonderful guide and did a terrific job providing background on the city as well as individual details of the Medici, Dante and other important events including construction of the Duomo and other conflicts driving change within Florence. Despite the heat ( close to 99 ) Irina made sure that we covered the planned tour as we were slightly late arriving. This was my fourth visit to Florence and I really appreciated Irina proving significant detail. We even went to Santa Maria Novello Convent to see the historical frescos which were amazing. A first for me! Our group included our teen daughter who also enjoyed the tour! I would highly recommend Irina in Florence.
