Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 619bce0 contributionsGreat tour of the UffiziOur tour of the Uffizi was awesome! The guide was very knowledgeable and took us to see the highlights of the museum. The Uffizi is large and full of magnificent art everywhere so it’s easy to be overwhelmed. He made sure to answer all of our questions and worked hard to show us “why” each selection was important.Written October 21, 2024
- Shash-10 contributionsIncredible Private small group tour of The David!Barbara was an Excellent knowledgeable guide who made David come to life! We learned about the history but also about how to interpret the David and why he was so special. We also got a few extra secret views of other parts of the museum. Barbara’s shares all of this in a story telling way while engaging our small private group of 5. Extra points to Barbra for skipping the line to get us right in!Written September 22, 2024
- Roby-I-20160 contributionsGreat Synagogue of Florence & Jewish Museum tourWe did the Great Synagogue of Florence & Jewish Museum tour and Francesco was our guide for this private tour. He was exceptional in sharing the history and passing along his knowledge. He also did a great job of engaging our kids. We also added a tour of the ghetto and as we walked Francesco shared terrific insights which really made the tour memorableWritten August 21, 2024
- biagiat0 contributionsExcellent tour and company!Artviva was an exceptional company from the start! They were easy to work with, incredibly accommodating, and a good price! Francesco was everything we could've asked for in a guide. He was kind, engaging, and knowledgeable. We are so grateful we went with them!1Written July 22, 2024
- josephinem2050 contributionsOutstanding tour that is fun for the entire family!Our family really enjoyed our tour of Michelangelo’s David with our wonderfully knowledgeable and engaging tour guide, Alessandro. We learned so much that we would not have found out on our own. Alessandro is one of the most experienced and expert art guides we have ever worked with. I highly recommend this fun and educational tour. Bravo to Alessandro and the entire ArtViva team!Written July 6, 2024
- Barbara D0 contributionsThe best afternoon in FlorenceMarissa was knowledgeable & friendly. She went out of her way to give us the most from our experience. We visited 5 artisan workshops (leather; goldsmith/jewelry; paper marbleizing; printmaking & mosaics) adding in the mosaic stop so we could visit this unique workshop. This was a highlight of our time in Florence.Written July 4, 2024
- C3396IPtaram0 contributionsWalk into the story of Florence!We just areivws in Florence and that evening my husband and I had a private walking tour with Marisa. She was absolutely amazing! She was a wealth of knowledge and kindness! Being with her on our first night of our first time in Italy was exactly what was needed to to launch a perfect holiday!Written June 5, 2024
- R7579NQlisab0 contributionsInformative and fun!Laura was amazing! She shared her knowledge and experience with us in such a fun way. She helped us begin a painting that will be a wonderful memory of our vacation. This was such a unique experience to do in Florence, a place famous for so many paintings!Written May 29, 2024
- DushanL0 contributionsFantastic walking tour of Florence!Per Rick Steve’s recommendation from his Italy guidebook , we hired a guide through Artviva for “The Original Florence Walk” as a private tour for our group. Fantastic! Exceeded our expectations! Three hours spent together made the history, art and architecture of Florence come alive (and as a side benefit, we never felt lost during the rest of our stay, using all the landmarks pointed out in our tour.) If you are on the fence about tours, just do it! Otherwise you’ll be walking past important history without even noticing it!Written March 15, 2024
- 619jeffry0 contributionsTuscany is renowned for its beefTuscany is famous for its steak; the quality of the beef is unmatched. The beef cattle in Tuscany have an ancient lineage; they are quite distinctive. Florentine cattle are usually a cream color, they grow strongly, and the rich steak is full of flavor. The ribeye cuts require possessing a strong appetite. The steak makes magnificent feasts.TuscanyWritten March 11, 2024
- angelahZ3265XK0 contributionsBest experience of our trip - Laura is the BESTLaura was AMAZING. Learned so much from her. She kept everyone in our party of nine (ages 6 to 79) engaged and entertained. If I ever get back to Florence, I will book a tour with her again. Answered every question and then some. Cannot recommend her highly enough. GREAT value.Written January 15, 2024
- marnel-090 contributionsPrivate tour of FlorenceIt was a splurge for us to book a private tour, but it was so worth it! Our guide, a native Florentine with perfect English, took the time to ask us about what we'd like to see, then tailored our time together to our interests. She was SO knowledgeable and enthusiastically answered our questions. We saw things we never would have found on our own, plus, she gave us insiders' tips on what to see on our own, when to visit specific museums and where to eat. It was the perfect preview for our visit. Highly recommend!Written November 17, 2023
- U9654DSkathleenk0 contributionsThe BEST Tour!If you do nothing else, do this tour! This was my second time doing it, and I would do it again. Our tour guide, Alessandro was fantastic. His knowledge was amazing! Our driver Louiggi was the best! This was the highlight of our 10 day stay throughout Italy-and, we did a lot!Written October 15, 2023
- vivienneh8600 contributionsOne Morning in FlorenceThis was truly an enjoyable and informative experience. Our guide, Caterina, was a winsome fount of knowledge! She made us want to do a History of Art degree :) She answered our questions patiently and helpfully. Her passion for her native city is infectious. Three hours (and a bit!) passed incredibly quickly. We couldn't recommend her highly enough.Written September 26, 2023
- Travel613941502370 contributionsSuch a great way to spend the morning!Francesco was an excellent guide. He was personable and included an incredible amount of detail about all the monuments, people and historical events. We opted to not use the earphones as we were just 6 people in the group and this worked well. The way to tell it was a great day is that the time absolutely flew by. Our guide was happy to answer all the extra questions we had as well. I would definitely recommend this tour and Francesco!Written August 22, 2023
