Matteo was wonderful. It was pouring rain when we arrived for the tour. He was more than happy to do whatever we felt was best. He was very patient with everyone considering we had 5 teenagers and my parents with us. There were 9 of us total. He gave us brief overviews of things we preferred to not have so much depth and wonderful recommendations for restaurants, shops and leather products. We took his recommendations on dinner and my husbands leather jacket and we were more than happy with service and product at both. Matteo is very knowledgeable and can give you whatever type of personalized tour you prefer. We appreciated the information and were able to see so much more of Florence with Matteo guiding the way during our brief stopover. We appreciated the day so much! Grazie Matteo!

Matteo was so helpful in taking us all around the city and telling us how to enjoy tourist traps. He showed us everything we wanted to see and more and even gave us extra time. He also takes great pictures.

Martina provided our family with a walking tour of Florence and was wonderful throughout. She had extensive knowledge of the city's history and culture and was an excellent communicator. Before the tour, Martina offered numerous suggestions for dining and sightseeing, making it the perfect way to begin our visit to Florence.

We had a great tour with Zeynep Arzu in Florence, who explained us the story of the city and big families like Medici while showing us the hidden gems! We learned very interesting details that made us see the city with different perspectives. Her tour has nothing to do with traditional “must-do” things that are driven by social media, but rather unknown details and places which gave the city its spirit. Zeynep has great energy and she is super in her storytelling, which makes her one of my favorite guides that I ever travelled with. Highly recommeded to everyone if you really want to understand Florence! Thank you Zeynep ☺️

We booked a tour directly with this outfit. In fairness, I inadvertently entered an incorrect email when I made the reservation. When realized my mistake I reached out to their help desk. The desk for back to me several hours later, found the booking, confirmed who, when and where to meet.

We had several back and forths, so to speak.

The night before the tour we hit a WhatsApp message from one of the local guides noting he was sick with flu and had to cancel. He also noted that he assumed Withlocals would reach out and assign a new guide.

Oddly, this person, Zeynap, was not even supposed to be our guide. A lady named Valentina was supposed to be.

We never heard from Withlocals. We went to the meet up spot, sent several messages to Withlocals and Valentina (who was designated in our confirm as the person who was supposed to be our guide) via either the official help email or on the App. Never heard from Valentina either.

Amazingly, when I reached out to Zeynap this morning, he offered to reach out to the company.

Anyway, use this outfit and/or hire Valentina in Florence at your own risk.

Zeynep's knowledge and passion for the city shines through her masterful storytelling of history that makes it engaging and memorable. My husband and I along with our adult children were dialed into everything Zeynep had to share and she showed us places we never would have gone to on our own. Next time we're in Florence, I hope she is still working to show us around places we didn't get to the first time.

Cristina was a wonderful guide. She is personable, knowledgeable, and super helpful. Our first day in Florence would not have been the success it was without her. She also provided some fantastic recommendations for the rest of our stay. We will definitely book a tour with Cristina the next time we visit Florence.
