Siro was a terrific guide; he was so well informed about the art, the history, and the politics, while also explaining how all of these fit into the larger picture of Florence, Italy, and the world. He was also thoughtful about us, as the tour proceeded, ensuring our needs were met and questions were answered. It is always so great to spend time with someone who is so interested in the topics at hand. Thanks so much!

Sandro was very responsive in concentrating on the things we wanted to emphasize. He was immensely knowledgeable and adept at communications. One small suggestion, the little headsets which our context guide used in Rome would be very helpful in Florence tours as there is some distracting crowd noise. Sandro was terrific.

My wife and I have been to the Uffizi numerous times and we have always procured a guided tour to maximize the experience. Alessandra was hands down the most knowledgable guide we have ever had. She took us through a very informative overview of the renaissance starting with Giotto and ending with Caravaggio. She even related the early renaissance art to some of the newer, historical art findings in Pompeii that illustrated the negative impact of the so called “dark ages”. Alessandra is an absolutely wonderful guide/teacher and I higjly recommend her. Best Uffizi tour ever!
