Elena was a happy, bright, enthusiastic and passionate guide, who was so easy to listen too. My husband and i along with our 10 year old throughly enjoyed the 3 hour tour, we fit in alot and had just the right amount of commentary. Although toward the end of the season it felt that Elena put 100% into the tour ensuring we got the most out of our time in Florence - Thank you

Great

On a very rainy morning, our guide Victoria was amazing at navigating the busy streets in Florence and the long lines for every venue, while delivering wonderful descriptions of all that we were able to see! She was very knowledgeable and incredibly patient as were all of the Walks guide with whom we worked. I would absolutely recommend the Walks experiences when visiting Italy!
