Irina is one of the rare tour guides who not just provides you with historical dates and names associated with the place but she also tells you real stories of real people. These stories bring you back in time and show you Florence in it’s renaissance glory. In addition to the famous and very well known places Irina took us to the little corners of Florence which most likely you would never ever gone to unless someone local will take you to. It was my second one time taking tour in Florence with Irina and I will recommend to all of you with no doubt to have Irina as your guide around beautiful Florence .R3599LWisabelles

This tour was simply incredible. Irina is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful way of painting a story in such an engaging way. We fell in love with Florence in a matter of minutes based on how she was able to share history and secrets of the city. She kindly made accommodations for my mom who struggles with walking for long periods of time. She offered great recommendations for where to spend time afterwards. This was the perfect way to start our trip to Florence and we highly recommend taking this tour!!
