We booked Christina P. two days in a row and loved every minute. Our private tour with Christina P. in Florence was absolutely outstanding. Christina is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but she brings the history, art, and culture of Florence to life in a way that feels effortless and engaging. Her storytelling, expertise, and passion for the city made this one of the best guided experiences our family ever had. She tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, kept the pace comfortable, and made sure we saw details and hidden gems we would have completely missed on our own. Christina P. answered every question with depth and enthusiasm, and her warm personality made the entire experience feel like exploring the city with a friend who happens to be an expert local historian. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Christina P. to anyone looking for a top‑tier private tour in Florence.

The extended tour with Cristina that included the Uffizi was so much fun. Cristina was so engaging with all of us, especially our 18 year old grandson! She made Florence come alive and was such a great communicator. If I could give her more stars I would. Cristina is also well travelled and really relates so well with all ages! Book her now!!! She is excellent! We LOVED every minute of our time with her!
Cristina P was exceptional for our group. She imparted a lot of local color that wouldn’t have been apparent to us on our own. She also clearly shows a continuous enthusiasm for the culture and history of Florence. Would heartily recommend her.
Absolute treasure! Christina is not only a pleasure to spend the day with, she is unbelievably skilled and knowledgeable in her craft. Had an absolute outstanding experience and would highly recommend.
What a fabulous day!!! Cristina made our visit to Florence so special!!! The hidden treasures for food and wine!!! All of her incredible knowledge about Florence at every turn we made was so informative!!! Grazie for making our trip a memorable, delicious and fun one!!!
Christina is superb. She is so friendly and warm. She treated us like good friemds. The food tour is so good and tasty. Please do not eat prior to the tour as we had our stomach filled to the brim with tasty local food. We have been to many private tours but this one really stands out. Don't hesitate to get Christina to guide you. She is so good and warm..
