Never one to put all my eggs in one basket, I also booked two other tours with competing tour guides in Florence. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would 100% use Florence Custom Tours for everything: food tour, museums, artisan shops, etc.. Scheduling the tour via email was easy and they even helped me modify one of their classic tours so my family and I could explore the city on our own terms. Our guide (Chiara) met us near our rented apartment and within a few feet started teaching us about hidden gems in the neighborhood that we had walked past dozens of times unnoticed. She was extremely knowledgable, courteous, patient, and also a "foodie" (Chiara helped mix in some delicious eats between our visits to the Uffizi and Galleria dell'Accademia). I would highly recommend Florence Custom Tours to anyone visiting this wonderful city and I will definitely be using them again upon my return.

We were a bit unsure of what to expect from this tour. Having used private party tours in Rome, our…read moreexpectation was high, but honestly, we took this option as an introduction to a four-day visit to Florence. It was a perfect introduction, for sure, and Andrea made it even better! The tour was organized very well. Although a large group gathered at the Basilica di San Lorenzo, they quickly divided into multiple groups. Andrea introduced Florence in a very unique way. He touched on history, architecture, and many other details. In fact, many of those details made our follow-on tour of the Uffizi and Academia galleries even better. They do rely on tips, and people should trip the guide generously

On top of that, I have a deathly fear of riding bikes because of past trauma. But for my new husband, anything. Despite how dreary the situation was set up to be, this bike tour with Fat Tire was one of my favorite memories on our honeymoon. We arrived for our 10 AM tour after thinking we were going to be late, but the staff was very accommodating towards everyone. Our tour guide was Raquel, and I grew attached to her. Apparently she's from Florence, and the passion for her city was inspiring. I was enamored by the history lessons. We biked around for about an hour and a half, and she never made me feel like I couldn't keep up. My husband and I saw beautiful landmarks with the rest of our small tour group and went back to visit some of them later on. Though there were parts of the tour where I needed to walk my bike or stop myself from "capsizing" the positive experience helped me overcome my fear!

We started at the Galleria dell' Accademia, where Paolo taught us about how to recognize certain artists, who funded the paintings, etc. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about art history, he is passionate about the subject, which made the Galleria tour that much more enjoyable! From there Paolo took us on a walking tour of Florence - I studied abroad in Florence back in college, and learned more in one afternoon from Paolo than the whole time I spent abroad. Our tour flew by, and we loved every second of it! I would send everyone I know to Paolo!

Chris brought the region to life by stopping at breathtaking viewpoints and sharing fascinating cultural and historical insights along the way.
