While researching tours for our first visit to Florence, we came across Francesca of Fantastic Florence. We liked the variety of tours she offered. As I began to communicate with her via email, she offered several suggestions to accommodate our group of 8 ranging in age from 30 to 75. Given our brief stay in Florence, we chose the Your Day in Florence Tour, Florence Street Food Tour, Fiesole and the Florence Oltrarno Tour. Francesca and her colleague Valentina (who showed us Fiesole) were a delight. They are both knowledgeable and passionate about Florence and their work. It rained a couple of days that we were there so Francesca had to improvise with the tour plans. She did it seamlessly. Francesca knows the story of Florence so well she easily interwove lessons about the history, art, architecture, culture, food and religion of Florence in her tours. We highly recommend Francesca for your time in Florence.

Francesca's tour was fabulous! This is my 3rd time in Florence, accompanied by my childhood friend. She booked the tour with Fantastic Florence over the course of 2 days. Francesca was insightful, thoughtful and gracious. We had the privilege to tour various artisans who specialized in bronze, jewelry and mosaics. Thank you Francesca for making this trip so memorable.
Francesca is a walking encyclopedia and excellent story teller…..by the time we reached Florence, our minds were full of Italian history. But somehow Francesca managed to teach us even more with her colorful ability to talk knowingly of the history of beautiful Firenze. Having her plan our day, walk us patiently through the streets, letting us ask as many questions as we wanted, eat off the beaten path, and see areas that were not full of other tourists was perfect for us. She is so fun, and made hearing the history of the Medici family so interesting. Spending the day with Francesca was the best way for us to invest our time in Florence and we are so grateful we did! Stick with personal tour guides, they are SO worth it!
Amazing experience!!! Francesca was awesome, very professional, very personable , and responded fast to our emails. She gave us great history about the city and shared some of the best finds around the city. Our group tour was great and she set the bar very high.
We loved our time with Francesca in Florence!! We did guided tours with her of the city itself, Santa Croce and the Galleria Dell’Accademia. Not only is she friendly and easy to be around, her knowledge and passion for the history of Florence and the role of the Florentine people in Italian history (and world history!) is palpable. Helping travelers enjoy and learn Florence is not her job, it is her mission! I can’t wait to go back!!
Great team building tour around Florence with Francesca! Very professional and passionate..thanx a lot!
Francesca was very informative, well prepared and thoughtful with our tour! This was my first time in Florence, I'm a teenager who studies Italian, and Francesca helped me interact with locals at the market to better immerse myself in the language and culture. She also prepared a booklet with words and questions she selected to help me with vocabulary. Francesca took us through the heart of Florence and the Ponte Vecchio. She was very knowledgeable of the history of the areas we walked through, and even made some recommendations on places to go. She also took us to see some local artisans. Overall, Francesca is an amazing guide who really takes into account the interests of her clients.
Francesca was great. She was friendly, warm, knowledgeable and perfect to keep my children engaged. She was able to taylor the tour to see all the places we had on our list. I would not hesitate to recommend her to explore Florence!
