Elisabetta is the perfect tour guide to discover Florence; knowledgeable in fine art history, local culture, kind and very friendly.

Elisabetta is an amazing guide who has so much knowledge, but she shares in a way that is fun and easy to follow. We toured with our teenagers and they loved their time as well.

From the moment Elizabetta recommended our meeting location at a super convenient parking garage in Santa Croce until the moment she left us, but not before suggesting places to eat and other sights to see, she was always recommending places to go and things to do. She was not only an amazing tour guide but a wealth of information and was open to receiving follow up questions by text after the tour was completed. Elizabetta moves at a fairly quick pace as she navigates the streets of Florence, stopping at key points throughout the tour to shower the group with the rich history of buildings, architecture, and the politics of ancient (and not so ancient) Florentine times. She injects into her stories funny antidotes and observations of what her city was, is and becoming. Her humor made the time with her pleasant and felt more like walking with a friend who happened to be from Florence. She was engaging and answered all our questions, and occasionally inserted her personal views and commentary which for us, really helped us bond with the city more closely. I would highly recommend anyone who wants a very small group, highly personalized tour of Florence to reach out to Elizabetta! She’s a star!!!

Family day spent in Florence, we took the opportunity to learn more about the history of the city with Elisabetta. After 2 minutes she was already part of the family too! Professional, friendly and never boring. Highly recommended for everyone!

A magnificent time spending my day with Elisabetta! Her depth of knowledge of Italy, Florence in particular and passion for history were a delight. She presented everything with interest, was entertaining and had a great sense of humor. She gave me excellent restaurant recommendations as well. I had so much fun, I was disappointed when the day was over. You will be very happy with Elisabetta as your tour guide!

Elisabetta is not only extremely knowledgeable, but she has a great sense of humor and made the tour and all of the history it entails, really fun! We have done a lot of tours with a lot of guides, Elisabetta is the best!

We had a delightful and informative time in our tour with Elisabetta. She was patient with us among all the crowds. She took us around old Florence and told us exactly what we wanted to know. She’s also up on her WW2 history which in Italy can be a confusing subject. We would not hesitate to recommend her to any group. Our only regret is that we couldn’t have her lead us around Siena. Professional. Occasionally cheeky (which we loved) Just wonderful!

A group of six of us wanted a private tour of the Uffizi as we had limited time and wanted to make the most of it. Elisabetta was a fantastic tour guide, extremely well-organised and knowledgeable both about the city and its culture, but also about the mechanics of visiting the Uffizi. She gave us an excellent overview of the different schools of art and how they developed and made the trip so much more interesting and enlightening than if we had gone round unguided. I would definitely contact her again, she made all the difference to our day and I have recommended her to a number of friends.

I can't say enough wonderful things about our tour guide, Elisabetta Marchi. She is so knowledgeable about all things Tuscany, and showed us not only amazing historical sites, but off-the-beaten-path places as well. She is friendly, well organized, and so helpful with recommendations. I can't wait to go back to Italy and do another tour with her!

Elisabetta was so knowledgeable and informative, while very entertaining as well. Skipping lines is sooo with it. She was able to customize a tour for the two of us and as a result we were able to experience some hidden gems. There is so much to visit in the region, a tour with Elisabetta is the only way to see as much as possible within a small scope of time and gain fantastic insight. She was so personable and we are so delighted to make her acquaintance. If we are ever in Tuscany again, we will reach out to her again!!

Having a guide like Elisabetta is a game changer. You will see more, learn more, and know you are making the most of your time. She is so smart and helpful. I highly recommend hiring her when in Florence!!

Elisabetta was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and gifted in a way to make the experience personalized. We booked several different tours with her and we were not disappointed. I highly recommend Elisabetta as your tour to take your experience to the next level.

On our first trip to Florence we wanted an introductory tour of the city with a private guide, not a group tour which can be a cattle call. We found the Tuscany Trotter website and read about Elisabetta and her passion for Florence, so we signed up for her tour of the city, including a visit to the Accademia. Lasting a little over 3 hours, the tour was extremely informative and much fun. Elisabetta is an engaging, knowledgeable guide with a wonderful personality and we are so happy we chose her.

Elisabetta is THE BEST. She immediately evaluated who we were and what we wanted and customized our tour to us. In our opinion it is a mistake to use anyone else. Her knowledge is superior. It was amazing how she put together our museum experience room by room from her memory. It was perfect What knowledge !!! I wanted shopping guidance in Florence and she knew exactly where I should go. She listened to us and customized our day. This is just what a guide should be. Thanks Elizabetta Marchi!!!

Very complete and efficient tour. We got to see the most important parts of the city. Also we had the chance to visite very nice places of local food.
