Valentine's Day in Florence

Our guide was fantastic. The context and color she added to our tour was incredibly helpful for our entire Italy trip. It layed a great informational foundation and understanding of some of the Renaissance greats.

The guide was fantastic! She loved what she was talking about and had a great grasp of the history. She communicated in a way that was engaging, witty and with humor. We were hanging on her every word.

Another great tour. Our guide was amazing unfortunately had forgotten her name but she was originally from Sicily and studied ancient history. A very small intimate group that consisted of my boyfriend and I and, a mother and daughter we had met on an earlier tour to the Academia that same day. I personally liked the very small group, as it allowed for a quick start and swift entry into the museum. Our guide was very knowledgable and there was plenty of time and room for questions that were well answered. Paintings discussed in detail as well as historical context to the time period and the artist behind them. A well timed tour that left us feeling like we had covered the important parts, and were free to do as we pleased and revisit areas we wanted to see again, at the end of the tour. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed the vast knowledge of the guide although we had to really concentrate hard to understand her at times because of her accent.

Our tour guide Hillary (Hilaria) was an amazing guide, not only for her being a local Florencian but we also were fortunate to be the only couple that booked the tour. Therefore, it felt like a private tour! Nonetheless, she had tenacity, passion for her the the artist portrayal, and the enriched history of not only art it self, but the beautiful city of Florence. We left the tour enchanterd and wanting more!:) Thank you Hilaria ❤️

Our market tour was a delightful journey through the Florence Central market. The guide's extensive knowledge of the ingredients, their origins, and their significance in Italian cuisine added a fascinating layer of depth to the experience. We enjoyed exploring the colorful stalls, interacting with local vendors, and learning about the freshest produce, spices, and specialties that make Florentine cuisine so unique. The cooking class that followed was an absolute joy and the highlight of our whole trip. The skilled chef's expertise and passion for Italian gastronomy were evident in every step of the culinary journey. The hands-on experience of crafting the tiramisu and hand-making our pastas, we were fully immersed in the art of cooking. We sincerely appreciated the interactive nature of the class, which allowed us to ask questions and learn new skills. The highlight, of course, was savoring the fruits of our labor as we sat down to enjoy the delicious meal we had prepared together. The flavors, aromas, and the shared camaraderie made the dining experience truly special and unforgettable. Overall, our Florence market tour and cooking class surpassed all expectations. It was a perfect blend of cultural exploration, culinary education, and immersive enjoyment. I would highly recommend your tour to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable culinary experience in Florence.
