Florence – the heart and soul of the Italian Renaissance – and home to some of the most breathtaking, mesmerizing and awe-inducing works of art the Western Civilization has ever created, will unravell before you. We will start with Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Signoria, the two most important squares of Florence, and we will then proceed through the fascinating Medieval district where you will see ancient towers-houses and pictoresque alleys. We cam’t miss seeing Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge of Florence and the only one that survived World War II. After this introduction to the city, we will admire Michelangelo’s David inside the Academy Gallery (express entrance tickets).
After a break for lunch we will continue our tour to the Uffizi (express entrance tickets) the most visited painting museum in Italy, where you will see the artworks by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Titian among the others.

Alessia is a superb guide! We chose the visit to Florence on the theme of Assassin's Creed 2, a video game which takes place in the Medici period, and whose monuments of the city have been recreated with great fidelity.
Alessia taught us a lot about the places and Florentine history during the Renaissance period.
No problem if you no longer have any memories of the game, Alessia will give you the comparison directly using photos from the game in front of the monuments.
The Leap of Faith in the straw bales is not included in the service :)
If we were to return to Florence, we would definitely call on her again to find out more about the city.

Two three-hour visits for 2: city tour and the Uffizi à la carte. Alessia speaks rich and precise French. Always smiling and in a good mood. Pleasant Florentine cultural stay.

Our tour guide Elena was very accommodating, informative and sweet. She showed us both must sees and hidden gems during our 6 hour walking tour. We walked into a beautiful small church where Americo Vespucci was buried. We saw the highlights at the Uffizi, walked over the Ponte Vecchio, visited the leather market and the Fontana del Porecellini, and walked through many quaint side streets. We had a a delicious panini at a local favorite shop not frequented by tourists, heard all about the success story of Salvatore Ferragamo, the origin of Pinocchio, and more. Our tour ended at the Accademia Gallery where we saw Michelangelo’s David and Elena pointed out fascinating details of this masterpiece. Fantastic experience and would highly recommend!

Alessia is an excellent personal guide in Florence and we highly recommend her.
We contacted her several months in advance and she was responsive with all our communication. She was able to set up a personalized tour for us based our time and interests. Upon our arrival she spent the afternoon with me, my wife and daughter showing us all the popular sites. Alessia was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of Florence and she gave us insight into all the sites we toured. Plus she was able to answer all of our questions with patience and sincerity.
In addition, she gave us the recommendation to book our tickets early to see the Statue of David which was one of the highlights of our trip!

Alesia was a terrific guide to the city. She made our experience rich with interesting stories as well as historic facts and Florence really came alive for us as a result. We loved her tour so much we booked her a few days later to tour Lucca, which was also wonderful.

Brilliant Guide - we travelled to Florence by train from Rome for a day and Alessia met us at the Station. She was highly knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and ensured we had a great time in this beautiful city

My wife and I did the Florence in a day - Private 5-hour tour. Prior to our tour, she asked us what the main things were we wanted to see and she delivered. We went to see the Bargello museum, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Duomo museum and Baptistery. We loved the tour and enjoyed all the knowledge Alessia shared with us. In the museums, she also is aware of the most important pieces to make sure we could do everything we wanted during our tour. She was highly responsive on every question and request and is still available after the tour if you need any recommendations in the city. I'd highly recommend Alessia to take you around Firenze.

We had a great guide all around Florence. Our guide, Alessia, knew alot of interesting stuff! Some of us had been here before, but we all learned various new things! All this was done with a speaker and earbuds, so you did not have to be too close to hear what she has to say, and you could wander off a bit. Apart from the very good and clear explanations, she also gives you great ideas for local restaurants! Very helpful, always polite and with a big smile, it was great! She also worked with the social distancing, to make it all corona-proof!

My wife and I did the Assassin's Creed Tour of Florence and a visit to the Accademia to see David. Alessia was an wonderful guide and did a great job giving us an overview of the city while also showing how the game compared to the actual history of the city. My wife has never played the game, but it did not matter as she enjoyed the tour because you learn so much about Florence. The walking tour was the right pace and we ended the tour being able to go inside the Accadmia to see David. Don't miss being able to do that. One of the most impressive pieces of art I have ever seen. We cannot wait to return to Florence again someday and when we do we will be using Alessia as a guide to see more and even explore outside of Florence. Thanks Alessia!
