Dina created a custom tour for us in Florence. We had such an amazing time. She is so passionate and knowledgeable about the city. We enjoyed learning the history of many places and also enjoyed her company. We visited and ate the best gelato too! Then in the evening when we were looking for a restaurant, Dina was quick to recommend a few. I can’t say enough about how great the tour was.

Dina is an absolute treasure of a tour guide! We met her at the Accedemia and then proceeded to walk to a charming Italian bar for a sampling of an Italian breakfast...the sweet kind! We discussed what Italians eat for breakfast, the different kinds of coffee drinks and why everyone stands up at a bar to eat. From there we went to the Mercato Centrale. While there, Dina explained how various food vendors achieve their ratings and the rules that go into being a butcher, mushroom grower etc. We learned alot about quality control. The day proceeded with another breakfast (the savory kind), biscotti, pizza and a fabulous wine tasting in a centuries old grocery store. We were stuffed but definitely more knowledgeable about how to eat and drink in Florence. Dina was personable, attentive to our needs and patient with our many questions. She made our experience so much more special. We would work with her again and highly recommend. This was a half day experience and very easy to walk.

Girls trip to Florence was amazing! When we booked the trip we knew a comprehensive walking tour of the city was high on our list. From the minute we met our guide, Dina, we were amazed by her kindness and her knowledge of Florence. She told us stories about the days of old (art, economics, family, etc...) in a way that made us feel like we were there, with a little flair of the present day that made us laugh. She also gave us great suggestions on local shopping areas and restaurants. Her love and insight of this beautiful city is incredible! Thank you Dina for sharing your passion and expertise of Florence with us!!!
