Karine's passion and genuine love of art and history is contagious. She was an absolute dream of a guide: experienced, seasoned, confident and in command of her knowledge base. Furthermore, she was patient and considerate of my older companion, who tired easily. I have utilized many private tours and have met many lovely people this way, & Karine is the type of person I will seek out again and again! What a lovely human being and what a memorable tour we had in the jewel that is Florence, Italy.
