Our private Florence walking tour with Catherine G. was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Italy. If you are looking for a knowledgeable local guide for Florence, the Accademia Gallery, and Renaissance architecture, this is the tour to book. Seeing Michelangelo’s David at the Galleria dell’Accademia was of course unforgettable, but what made the experience exceptional was the depth of knowledge Catherine shared throughout the entire tour. Her explanations of Michelangelo, Renaissance Florence, and the artistic history of the city made the sculpture even more meaningful. Beyond the Accademia, Catherine helped us truly understand the architecture and urban design of Florence. Walking through the historic streets, piazzas, and buildings, we learned fascinating details about Florentine architecture, Medici influence, and the development of the Renaissance city that we would never have noticed on our own. The tour felt like having a passionate historian and local expert walking with us through an open-air museum of Renaissance Florence. I’ll highly recommend booking a private Florence tour with Catherine G. if you want a guide who brings the city’s art, history, and architecture to life. It was an unforgettable experience and easily one of the best guided tours we had in Italy.
