Martino is an excellent guide. We really enjoyed spending time with him—learned a lot!

I’ve been on over 10 context tours, and Valerie has been the best guide by far. This was my first time to Florence and Valerie gave me such a comprehensive understanding of the city, history, architecture and artworks. This tour is a must and you should 100% request Valerie to be your guide.

Monica did very well dealing with 3 young girls (8,6, and 3) who were dealing with jet lag and general kid issues. They rotated on being engaged, but Monica never lost patience and tried to direct their attention in engaging ways, giving interesting facts to help them focus on what they were seeing, At the end of the tour, grandpa indicated he learned a lot, so it's not just for kids! Also, latter in the day the 8 and 6 year old started pointing out to us the Medici shield whenever they saw it on a building and also calling out the fluer symbol of Florence, so they were paying attention, even when we had our doubts. The drawing notebook was a nice addition, and we personally have gone on to experience some of her restaurant and museum recommendations. We are happy with the tour and would do it again under the same (not ideal) circumstances.
