We were so fortunate to work with Manuel, who is an amazing and knowledgeable guide. He is a passionate local expert who revealed to us so many little known facts about the incredible history of Florence. He answered our dozens of questions. He showed us numerous locations and experiences that we would never have be aware of. We are so grateful to Manuel for sharing his wisdom and insight into his lovely city. Thank you, Manuel!

Great introduction tour! Our guide Alberto is a very knowledgeable, we had a wonderful experience with him! Thank you Alberto!

This was our favorite tour in Italy as we visited Rome, Florence and Venice. Just the right amount of detail for 2 teenagers to keep them interested and for anyone who watched the Medici series this is a must do.

Probably the best private tour we had during our entire trip to Italy. Three couples, no headphones, just the best knowledgeable guide totally devoted to his subject of educating us to the history in Florence. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I did had Manuel as our guide and he was excellent. We booked this tour to learn the history of Florence as we knew the Medici’s were a central influence. This tour provided us with just enough of the highlights of the history to provide us with a base for the remainder of our stay along with some of our other planned tours. Manuel was easy to understand and very personable. I thought the use of the IPad to show us some of the history he was discussing was excellent resource to use in our small group. We would definitely recommend this tour.

This was an amazing tour. I have taken many tours prior to this. This was the very best tour I have ever been on. Samona, the tour guide was exceptional. You can tell she had a love for history, architecture, and Florence. She was very knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. This tour is a must if you are in Florence. I highly recommend this store. Thank you Samona for a job. Well done. Five stars all the way.

This was a highlight of our trip to Florence.. I highly recommend doing this tour on your first day in Florence. Manuel who is a native of Florence is a master storyteller and historian.

This was our second tour with Manuel, and we enjoyed both. His passion for Florence and it's history were inspirational. Great experience!

The tour was average. It was private, which really, we thought was small group, so that is our misunderstanding.

Manuel's knowledge of Florence and his ability to share it through stories of a famous family made this a tour to remember. Highly recommended

We loved how our tour guide was so excited about the Medice history in Firenzia. She was very personable as well as knowledgeable. We highly recommend her guide services to visitors. Her English was perfect.

Very good tour , recommended if you want to know details about the Medici family and their impact in history. Manuel, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of everything and addressed questions we had during the tour

Fantastic and fascinating tour! Our guide really brought the history to life. The pace was good, and the stories will remain with me for years. I recommend this tour to learn the history of Florence & the Medici family.

Great private tour! He was personable and pointed out small details you would never see! I had done another tour last I was in Florence and I definitely did not learn as must. Loved it!

Excellent tour. Manuel was very knowledgeable about Florence and the Medici family. Was very happy to answer our many questions. Our three teenagers really enjoyed the tour too.

Manuel was incredibly knowledgeable and generous with information as we walked thru streets of Florence and discussed the history before us. Was a beautiful morning- thank you!!!!

We did the Medici tour with Manuel and it was great. We learned so much about the Medici family and their impact on Florence, but also many interesting things about Florence in general. We had walked around Florence prior to this tour and were oblivious to the details of the architecture and history that Manuel showed us. We would highly recommend taking this tour with Manuel.

Our guide Manuel accompanied us on an entertaining & highly informative walking tour around Florence. This tour is truly unique as provides the history of the city from stories of the powerful Medici family which is truly fascinating and takes you through how they shaped the city over time. Manuel provided information on so many hidden gems of history and in the architecture which makes you see Florence in a completely new light. I highly recommend this tour - it was definitely the highlight of our stay in Florence.

Manuel's story telling was fascinating to listen bringing Florence's history alive. I loved learning about the family power struggles as the Renaissance began. Thank you!! I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting, especially history fans.

This was the first thing we did after arriving in Florence. Our guide was Manuel and he was awesome. He is a great story teller. We learned about the history of the architecture, and about the Medici family and how they shaped Florence. We learned details of individual towers, palaces and the Duomo but always couched in the patterns of history. We found that for the rest of our short stay in Florence we were continually seeing things that reminded us of the story Manuel told us. Simply put we thought it was the best thing we did in Florence and especially to do first, as it provided an overview for so much. Thanks Manuel!
