Molly is an extraordinary docent. She is creative in her approach and committed to her clients having the best of all possible experiences. As are all Context docents, she is deeply engaged in her subject matter but Molly takes it even further, enriching the topic with a vast knowledge of Dante, Florence and its place in the world, and the changes in the economy and culture looming on the horizon. My husband, who knew nothing about Dante, and I, who knew just a bit, spent that eveining discussing what we had learned over pizza and wine. Nice way to end a terrific day. Cathy Ballman

Our Dante walk in Florence took us through some of the same and streets and alleyways tread by the great poet himself. Molly McIlwrath led us on a thoroughly intriguing and engaging visit to many of the still extant sites important in the life of Dante and discussed their possible influence upon his life and art. She is a superb docent providing a thoroughly enriching experience--including reading some of Dante's masterwork.

My husband and I loved this tour, but my son (who studied Dante) thought she could have gone deeper. He did spend time after the tour explaining more about Dante and his book over wine after the tour. Our guide was prompt and pleasant, she had also done her homework in regards to us and then shared info about us with Patricia, a very nice touch. Was she Patricia...not quite, but with a little more time...she could be.
