We had a wonderful time with Vanessa! All the food was excellent and we learned a lot! We returned to our gelato stop again a couple of days later because it was so good!

Great food and highlights tour

Vanessa was a great guide, very knowledgeable and enjoyable! The tour hit some high spots of the city as well as olive oil, great lunch, and gelato. “Small group” was very small, as we were the only ones on the tour we got a private event that was great for us traveling with our 11 month old. Great tour and guide.

Response from ViatorJune 13, 2026

Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Vanessa helped make your experience so memorable. It is especially rewarding to know that you appreciated not only the highlights of the city, but also the olive oil tasting, lunch, and gelato along the way. We are also very happy that the small-group format turned into a private experience for your family and that it worked well while traveling with your 11-month-old child. Thank you for choosing Local Guides Tour. We hope to welcome you back to Florence again in the future!

Amazing must do

Vanessa and her husband was very persistent in making sure that I receive the change of meeting point location. We were late 15 min and arrived very stressful. They immediately made us feel welcomed and extremely comfortable at ease. it was just us and although our tardiness created a domino effect to the 3 taste/snack stops they still did not rush us. It was very obvious that they are both loved and respected. Very sweet knowledgeable and patient. So professional we gave them a S100 tip. N...read more
