The David by Michelangelo, the Cathedral, the Baptistery, and Duomo Museum

My husband and I enjoyed five wonderful mornings with Armando. He developed our itinerary, purchased our tickets in advance, and provided us with an easy-paced tour of Florence. Armando is a master of the history of Florence, its art evolution, and the intrigues of the city. He demonstrated a wealth of knowledge that he easily conveyed to us. As a native Italian, born in Rome, being a guide in Rome for approximately 20 years, and then subsequently moving to the Florence area where he has been continuing his splendid tours for the past seven years, he is an historian with an encyclopedic memory of the riches of Italian culture and art. We highly recommend Armando as your tour guide. You will be happy that you did.

Armando was a fantastic guide who made our day in Florence fantastic! He was very knowledgeable, organised and very friendly. Thank you Armando for sharing your time and expertise with our family and for organising all our entries, everything ran so smoothly. Highly recommended.

Armando made our experience in Florence as enriching as possible within our time constraints through NO fault of his! Our train was delayed by over an HOUR and he waited for us at our designated spot with incredible patience & grace! He was able to gain entry for us quickly into all our requested sites & shared his considerable art/culture/historical/architectural knowledge with us in a calm yet interesting manner. He was a prince under pressure & I would recommend him with no reservations!

Armando constructed "The David by Michelangelo, the Cathedral, the Baptistery, and the Duomo Museum" (now offered separately on his site) so we could spend 2 half-days instead of one whole day with more time inside the buildings and museums. Armando is splendid: super organized, knowledgeable, funny, and nice. In addition to a marvelous tour, he had fabulous recommendations for local meals, gelato, markets, and other sites that we went to see on our non-tour days. A wonderful guide, a wonderful tour!!

Very interesting tour with Armando in Florence at the Accedemia Gallery. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly with stories that kept the attention of my two children, ages 12 and 10. Thank you Armando!

Armando devoted 7 days to our family when we were in Florence in May of 2022. Having a private guide, and specifically having Armando, made our time in Florence exponentially more enjoyable. Armando is immensely knowledgeable and shares what he knows in a congenial and conversational, rather than professorial, way. He is patient and calm and relaxed and very flexible, all keys to happiness for my family with two members of limited stamina and physical ability. He's a "prince among men." Highly recommend.
