Olga was our tour guide. She was very informative. We enjoyed learning about the history of Florence and how the Medici family was a huge part of its success. We also were able to learn about some areas of Florence that were not typical tourist areas. It really brought the city to life.
Olga was a great tour guide! She took us around all the places and explained everything in good detail and history. Thank you, Olga.
Olga was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of places, and explained everything in so much detail. She helped to take great pictures of us while taking care of our belongings, helped us to find public washrooms along the way, and also was flexible with the tour start time when we were running late. Thank you, Olga!
I spent a lovely day with Olga on a private tour. It was very informative and full of interesting facts. Olga is very knowledgeable.
We booked a private tour with Olga and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our trip to Florence. Olga is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the city's history, art, and culture. She didn't just recite facts; she brought the stories of Florence to life. Beyond the history of the sites, she was more than happy to answer all our random questions about Florence and gave us great context about the city that you wouldn't get from a guidebook. Highly recommend booking with her if you want a deep dive into Florence!
Olga was an amazing guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the city and you could tell from the information she shared that she truly loves what she does. She took time to explain each site while providing additional interesting facts and small details that we would have missed on our home. I plan on recommending her to friends that visit city.
Olga offers so much information making the experience feel like you are living in the historic moments. She offers details about the people, places and times effortlessly while injecting humor. We totally recommend having her guide you through this beautiful city!
