“The tour was incredible! Valentina was very knowledgeable and friendly with the staff at both locations. Because of this, we were able to get in quickly without having to wait in the hot sun in the line of other people with “skip the line” passes. She shared lots of stories about Michelangelo and Leonardo, and the Medici family. We loved hearing her expertise as we explored the museum, the cathedral, and the duomo. 100% recommend!”

“Our guide Daniel was phenomenal — hands down the best guided tour of our entire trip! We’re currently in Rome, and honestly, none of the other experiences have come close. Daniel was passionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and kept us fully engaged from start to finish. He encouraged questions and made the entire experience feel enriching. His tour of the Uffizi Gallery was the best - he translated the art pieces really well! At the Accademia, his commentary on Michelangelo’s David was packed with fascinating insights. More than that, he gave us a wonderful sense of Florence’s broader history, in a way that was far more memorable than any guidebook or audio…”
