Experience the best of
Florence with Withlocals

"We planned for a half day tour with Giulia in Florence. The day before the tour Trenetalia announced that there was going to be a rail strike. We scrambled for a driver and got to Florence much later than expected. Giulia was in touch with us the whole ride in. She calmed me down, told me not to worry and managed to get us to our meeting place in time for our tour of the Accademia Gallery. And that was all before meeting her! She whisked us into the museum and gave us one of the best museum tours I have ever had! She was so knowledgeable, interesting, engaging and open for all questions. Her lead up to seeing the David was amazing! She then took us to a great cafe- Twist Bistrot - for coffee and a snack -yum! She talked to us about what she had in mind for the tour and then asked us what we wanted to do. She showed us all the ‘must-see’ sights and then walked us around, giving insightful history and fun facts about the sights and Florence in general. This was my third visit to Florence and I’ve never learned so much in such a fun way! She also answered 500 questions we had about all sorts of things. We ended up at a fantastic gelato place (better than the advertised best gelato in the world’ place in San Gimignano!) feeling like we knew so much about Florence, Italy and Giulia! I felt like we made a new friend for life! I highly recommend the Highlights of Florence tour and Giulia!"

"Thanks Christina we just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our time with you. You were so knowledgeable about art and history that it helped us navigate the very best of the gallery and has set in place what we will one day see when we come back. You were super fun and we really loved your company! BW A&T "

"Mateo was professional from start to finish. From his timely communication, his exactness in coordinating a rendezvous, to most importantly, the depth of knowledge that he shared with us, all of which brought Florence to life for us! We were three ladies experiencing Florence for the first time and he took much history and made it understandable. He did the same thing for us with understanding the paintings and sculptures we were looking at. I can’t imagine not having hired a professional guide and Matteo was everything he promised to be. Have no hesitancy in booking a tour with him! Thank you again Matteo for a wonderful unforgettable day!"

"Such a great experience! We got to experience and taste things we would have never otherwise thought to try. Giorgio was great and help give historical insight and answer many of our questions!"

"Maja was on time. She gave a thorough tour of the Uffizzi gallery. I was able to see all the famous paintings such as Birth of Venus, Baptism of Christ, etc. and learn the history of behind each painting. Highly recommend."

"Cristina was wonderful and gave me an awesome walking tour of Florence "

"We were a group of friends, some of us had been to Florence before and some for the first time. We wanted to explore the city with an expert guide, someone who had the inside track on not just the most popular spots, but also those hidden gems which only a city with the history of Florence can offer. Alessandra was an amazing guide with whom we spent the entire day. She knew when we needed a coffee break, just to rest the feet for a bit. She also took us to an amazing local restaurant where the pasta was absolutely delicious and only €7 a head. There were so many interesting sights, including a rooftop view of the city from an ancient tower, a boutique perfumery which was originally run by Dominican friars and several frescoes and paintings in small churches you would never find yourself. I can really recommend Alessandra if you want to delve into this historic city. "

"Antonella was very welcoming and personable. She made us feel a part of the neighborhood. The variety of food was impressive, and she had good stories to go along with each item. Along the way, we also learned about Italian culture, and how each food historically became pertinent to the culture. We also learned a bit about Antonella and her family, which helped make her feel like a part of our family! By the end of the tour, we were satisfyingly satiated!"

"Eduardo was knowledgeable and passionate about Florence. Very glad that we booked this tour. "

"Elizabeth was a wonderful guide and showed us around the less touristy part of Florence. We enjoyed sampling the locals favorite foods and spend some time in the market. We tasted things that we wouldn’t have ordinarily tasted with her guidance. I’d highly recommend any tours with this company. It was an intimate tour with only the four of us and we learned so much! "
