Our reviews speak for themselves: our guided tours with Local Guides have made our clients’ travel dreams come true, offering unforgettable and one-of-a-kind experiences.
Vanessa was the perfect guide for us. We were not rushed, nor did we stay in any location too long. She was happy to answer a list of questions after the tour ended. She was a wonderful guide.
We enjoyed the food tour with Enrico very much and got to try wonderful authentic Italian food and drinks from small locally owned eateries. His recommendations were fabulous and we couldn’t have enjoyed the commentary and conversation more. It was a delight! Highly recommend!
The tour with Vanessa was an excellent, very insightful experience. She shared a lot of interesting information about the history and the city of florence. We really enjoyed it.
We had a wonderful time with Vanessa Tonarelli today. This is my second time having her as our private tour with her when we came to Florence 7 years ago. She was so sweet and really provided what we wanted to see and giving some information that we needed. We had a great time with her.
Vanessa Tonarelli was our guide for a private food tour of Florence and made it really interesting and relevant. A fount of knowledge and humour, and very much recommended!!
Vanessa was a knowledgeable and wonderful guide that our whole family enjoyed, including our teenage sons. We worked with her for 2 consecutive days and would book with her again on our next trip to Florence.
Vanessa was absolutely amazing! A great walking tour through Firenze's historical center, great communication skills, awesome last minute bookings, so professional but at the same time so friendly! Who ever needs a tour in Florence please book Vanessa's services!
Wir hatten eine wundervolle Foodtour mit der lieben Giudi gemacht und waren begeistert. Giudi hat uns die Stadt und natürlich auch sehr leckere Foodspots gezeigt. Mit viel Wissen und Empfehlungen für die Stadt haben wir Florenz nochmal von der besten Seite kennengelernt. Super Empfehlung und nochmal ein großes Dankeschön an Giudi. ❤️
It was a rainy day when we visited Florence, but thanks to Vanessa we enjoyed our walk and learned about the city’s fascinating past. The next day with Enrico, we experienced a Tuscan style outing. Quaint villages and wine tasting were on the menu. Thank you to both of you.
Late February. 70 years old. Not going to walk all that distance. Enrico was a very good and very friendly guide who lives in Oltrarno and gave us interesting tips as well as excellent tour info. Nice way to get a feel for Florence before you dig in deeper.
We had a great time on this tour with Vanessa! She was so knowledgeable about the history of Florence. We stopped at several locations where we could enjoy the local cuisine. The food was great the hospitality at the locations were fantastic. We didn't even have to wait to eat. We drank wine in a private area and our tables were already reserved at each location. I loved being able to support local restaurants that may be hidden from most tourists. If you want to get a good taste of Florentine life the people, food and history I highly recommend choosing Vanessa, you will not be disappointed. When we return to Florence we will definitely be staying here again!
This was our second experience in 6 months with Vanessa as our guide in Florence. In October she gave us an unforgettable tour of the treasures of the Uffizi through the eyes of an art historian. This week we visited the Piazza del Duomo, the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, the interior of the church and the ancient excavated ruins beneath, and Palazzo Pitti. Her vast knowledge and passion for the artwork and architecture is infectious and she left us enriched beyond our expectations.
