Martina has a lot of knowledge and is enthusiastic in sharing

I had seen Martina's posts about Florence and when we decided to go, I contacted her to see what trips were available. We had a walking tour, and then were able to get tickets to the Uffizi, Boboli Gardens and of course David. Martina's knowledge of Florence and it's various locations and stories were wonderful. It was money well spent and when I go back to Florence I will certainly contact Martina again.

Visit to L’Accademia and Uffizi museums.

Martina took us on a fabulous tour of the Accademia and Uffizi museums. She was so knowledgeable with a clear love for her subject. She brought the art “to life” explaining when the works had been created, who for and the historical settings. I would thoroughly recommend Martina and her tours.
