As a UK school teacher I brought a group of 20 students (16/17-year-olds) to Florence for a four-day trip with Agata as our guide. I cannot praise Agata enough for her knowledge, presentation skills and professionalism. Every aspect of the trip was seamless, with Agata having taken care of bookings, guiding us around and providing ear-pieces and a whisper system where necessary. She managed to keep all of our students engaged and enthused with her detailed subject knowledge and very personable manner. They really loved her. Agata also shared her local knowledge so that we were able to enjoy our down time getting to know the 'real' Florence through excellent cafes, bars and restaurants. I came away from the trip confident that the students had learnt a huge amount and developed a passion for Florentine history and culture, and those going on to sit their History of Art exams had been helped hugely. We all had a fantastic time and this was primarily down to the care that Agata put into this trip for us. We are very grateful and I will definitely be looking to book Agata again for any future trips. Thank you Agata!

Agata organised for me and my kids the experience to see the statue of David!What a blast, my girls loved it! Funny insights and lots of great stories!Thank you Agata. Can’t wait to do another museum with you!
Our group of 4 did a Medici tour of Florence with Agata. It could not have been better. We covered a lot of ground and learned a lot from her expertise. The experience was so much richer than doing it on our own with our heads buried in guidebook descriptions. Can't recommend more highly.

Simply the best! After having Agata guiding us through Florence, Pisa and Siena last May it was no brainer to have her guide us again this fall. Words can not describe her knowledge, passion and her kind personality among many other wonderful qualities. She stands out way above any other guide I have dealt with before and I have dealt with quite a few.Agatko, już nie możemy się doczekać kolejnego zwiedzania razem. Pięknie dziękujemy za wszystko.A presto.

My wife and I have done two tours with Agata around Florence and loved it! Agata is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and very pleasant to spend time with. Highly recommended! We have another tour scheduled with our kids and her and are very much looking forward to it!

We spent 2 days with Agata visiting the Uffizi and historic sites in Florence. Agata is hugely knowledgeable and has the exceptional ability to share that knowledge in a way that is stimulating and accessible. Through her eyes, it was possible to connect with the rich history of the city, it’s people and its art. We have had many guides in many different cities over the years, and Agata stands head and shoulders above the rest. Thank you again Agata.

Zwiedzaliśmy Florencję z dziećmi - Pani Agata tak interesująco opowiadała , że dzieciaki pamiętały dużo szczegółów- poukładało się nam wszystkim w głowie 🙂 . Bardzo serdecznie polecam Panią Agatę

I highly recommend Agata as a tour guide. We spent an incredible day and a half touring the Uffizi Gallery, Accademia Gallery, and the Duomo Complex with her. Agata's knowledge and passion for the art and history of Florence was evident in the time we spent with her. Her stories were interesting, relatable, at times humorous, and able to captivate the attention of our entire group including two teenage boys. Agata's narratives brought Florence to life; we would have missed so much on our own. We even found ourselves referencing her stories on the remainder of our trip. She also brought us to a delicious, unique restaurant for lunch which was hidden in a wine shop. I hope to return to the Tuscany region in the future and will definitely book more tours with Agata!

If you are looking for an informative and enjoyable tour experience in Florence, Agata is the guide for you! She led me and my family through the Uffizi, Accademia and Cathedral Complex. Her knowledge of history and art is remarkable. We were able to take what she taught us and apply it in other galleries as we traveled in Italy. The booking/scheduling process via email was easy and I quickly felt confident that Agata was the perfect blend of "expertise with personality" to jive with my family. Our May 2023 tours with Agata were a highlight of our Italy vacation. Thank you Agata!

Our tour guide Agata was amazing! She was so knowledgeable about the history and art of Florence and gave interesting facts and had a great sense of humor. She also took us to this amazing Tuscan restaurant which was one of the best meals I’ve had in Italy. Her tour was one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend booking her - you will learn so much!

Agatha's knowledge is impressive. I toured the Uffizi Gallery with Agata and it was a pleasure despite the huge crowds around :). I highly recommend Agata as a guide.

My family did two wonderful tours with Agata, first a museum and art tour in Florence, and then a day trip to Lucca. Agata's deep knowledge of the art and history of the region really shined through, and my two kids (7 and 9) were captivated and really enjoyed the tour. She also took us to two great authentic restaurants for lunch and gave us tips for artisan shops that are worth visiting in Florence. Overall it was a wonderful experience and deeply enriched our trip to Florence, I cannot recommend her enough!

Our family just had two days tour with Agata, one day in florence and one day in Lucca. Our kids (9 & 7 yrs) had learned so much with joy. Wonderful can not be good enough to express how the trip was. Agata has deep knowledge and extreme patience to tailor customized tours. If we come back to Florence, we will contact her again. She is friendly, moderate and fun.

Pani Agata jest niesamowita. Byliśmy z dziećmi, 12 osobową grupą w Galerii Uffici.dzięki Pani Agacie będzie to niezapomniana wizyta. Zaraziła nas ona swoją pasją, zaimponowała ogromem wiedzy, a dzięki jej doświadczeniu chłonęliśmy znacznie wiecej niż sami moglibyśmy dostrzec w galerii. Jej empatia, podejście i chęć zaangażowania całej grupy, sprawiły, że skorzystały na tym nawet nasze dzieci. Polecam wszystkim amatorom, rodzinom i pasjonatom sztuki!

What a find! Our group of 9 had a wonderful walking tour of Florence in Oct, 2022 with Agata. She was always very responsive during our planning and able to tailor our tour of Florence to our interests. Her expertise and enthusiasm in art and the history of Florence really enriched our short 1 day visit. When asked, she was also able to make recommendations for restaurants and other areas to explore in our visit. Thank you Agata!

Agata was a magical guide and companion and was definitely one of the highlights of a packed 12 day trip in Tuscany. Four of us planned this trip (two middle-aged couples, old friends) and all four of us fell in love with Agata, her vast knowledge of Florence, Florentine and Italian history, European context, art history, and helped us to make sense and understand the sights in their proper context in history and within the history of art. She is obviously expert, articulate (in multiple languages!), funny, and made the overwhelming experience of trying to see the external sights of Florence, architecture, and the galleries in the Uffizi more manageable. At the end of our day with her, we did not want to leave her; we all wanted to see the rest of Tuscany with her as our guide. Cannot recommend Agata highly enough. She is worth every penny and more! Perhaps the most charming and enchanting and knowledgeable guide we have ever toured with. Ti vogliamo bene Agata!

Zwiedzanie Florencji z Panią Agatą było prawdziwą przyjemnością. Bardzo duża wiedza oraz przygotowanie merytoryczne. Ponadto Pani Agata jest elastyczna, chętnie dopasowuje się do potrzeb oraz sugestii swoich klientów. Można "skroić" wycieczkę pod wymiar. Do tego wszystkiego Pani Agata jest bardzo sympatyczną i uśmiechniętą osobą, która potrafi zarazić swoją pasją do historii sztuki. Z czystym sumieniem polecam!

Jak Florencja to koniecznie z przewodnikiem. A jak przewodnik to Pani Agata. Muzeum Uffizi, spacer po mieście, duża dawka historii w bardzo ciekawej formie. Przesympatyczna osoba co sprawia, że łatwo nawiązujemy z nią kontakt. Gorąco polecam.

Wraz z żoną odbyliśmy z Panią Agatą 3 godzinny spacer po historycznej części Florencji. Był to czas wspaniale wykorzystany, głównie dzięki Pani Agacie. Jej wiedza, doświadczenie i profesjonalizm sprawiają, że spacer staje sie kompedium najważniejszych informacji podanych w sposób jasny, klarowny i ciekawy. Florencja odkywa w ten sposób swoje najciekawsze karty historii i staje sie miastem, którego jest nam wciąż mało i do którego chce sie wracać i poznawać kolejne jej sekrety. Ze wszech miar polecamy Panią Agatę jako przewodniczkę.

Our family took two first-class half—day tours with Agata during our 4 days in Florence: 1/2 day Uffizi and 1/2 day walking tour. Agata is an excellent narrator of the complex history of Florence and effortlessly weaved the story of the notable families and Renaissance artists into a memorable story that kept our whole family, including two teenagers, interested throughout. We highly recommend Agata for anyone wanting to learn more about Italy.

We recently had a full day private tour with Agata in Florence. Agata was incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with so much insight on the history and art of Florence. We also visited local, family-owned shops that showed us the inner-workings of Florence and what makes it so special. We had an amazing day with Agata and highly recommend booking with her!

Pani Agata posiada wspaniałą wiedzę i ciekawie potrafi opowiedzieć historię Florencji, Medyceuszy i włoskich artystów - nie tylko dorosłym, również nastolatkom. Ponadto świetnie sprawdziły się rekomendacje kulinarne. Pięknie dziękujemy Pani Agato.

I had a wonderful time with Agata during the Oltrarno private tour. I'm originally from Florence but I've been living abroad for many years now and I wanted to reconnect with my hometown and appreciate all its beauty.If I could describe this tour in one word it would be AWE.Agata with all her detailed explanations guided me with ease through centuries of history and art, from the Renaissance to our contemporary street art. We visited a few artisans' labs and had the chance to talk to them and to watch their work. It was stunning. A truly unique experience.If you're interested in understanding how the past has influenced the contemporary art scene in Florence I highly recommend Agata's tour.
