We thoroughly enjoyed the tours with Marco and Marco. Both exceptional knowledge and we learnt a great deal, there are so story in Florence. Fabulous to see the paintings, sculptures and architecture. Also learning a bit about life in Florence today was of interest. Thanks Agata for your recommendations and for organising our tours. Regards, Lisa and John.

Captivating! My husband and I had a wonderful tour of the Uffizi with Marco. We had visited Florence before and wanted to go a little deeper into Medici history and the Uffizi and he obliged. We really enjoyed his insights and willingness to follow our lead. Highly recommend!

This was literally the best tour we have ever been on. Agata was able to personalize the day for us and we learned so much from her! We found this reference simply through an Internet search, and it has now become the highlight of our family trip.

My wife and I just finished a fantastic tour of the Uffizi followed by a wonderful walking tour of Florence. Agata was fantastic she was extremely knowledgeable and made the day extra special. She had obviously worked hard to personalise elements of the tours to my wife and I. The whole experience was superb and I would highly recommend

Outstanding! Agata is amazing. She is so knowledgeable and has a passion for Florence, its history and the arts. We learned so much during our walking tour. I would highly recommend her in the future. It was well worth it.

My family toured both the Uffizi and the Dumo with Agata. She was great! We were touring with two girls, 19 and 21, and she crafted a tour that was very educational and not boring for them( not an easy task) I highly recommend Agata.

Our family had only a few days to see the many historical sights in Florence. Agata did a fabulous job of creating an itinerary for us that embodied the rich history of the Renaissance period. Her extensive knowledge of art, history and the politics of the time was so interesting and informative. Our tours with her were very organized, concise and easy to understand. We would book Agata again and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Florence. We wish you the best Agata, you made our trip to Florence very special. Thank you!

Great and insightful days in Florence with Agate - probably best ever with a private guide

Taking a tour with Agata really enhanced our appreciation of the art and history in Florence. It really was a highlight of our trip, and she is very knowledgeable and had a great itinerary at Uffizi Gallery.

Ho molto apprezzato il tour con Laura nel centro di Firenze, una passeggiata fatta con estrema cura e professionalità che mi ha mostrato particolarità della città che non avevo mai notato prima. Ho molto apprezzato anche la promozione di una Firenze non turistica ma viva, reale, di spessore.

Marco was a phenomenal guide. His mastery of the content was obvious. He was able to teach my wife and I while simultaneously keeping things interesting for our young children. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

We were delighted with how professional and knowledgeable Agata is regarding Italian art and history of Florence. We learned a great deal during our private tour through the Uffizi museum, and highly recommend touring with Agata.

Dzięki Pani Agacie wizyta we Florencji, Pizie i Volterze nie była tylko krajoznawczą wycieczką. Przeżyłyśmy duchową ucztę mentalnie przenosząc się w czasy, o których Pani Agata opowiadała z wiekim zaangażowaniem i pasją, dzieląc się rozległą wiedzą z historii oraz historii sztuki. Dzieła Mistrzów włoskiego renesansu, dzięki interpretacji Pani Agaty, stały się dla nas piękną opowieścią o ludzkich namiętnościach.

We booked through Guide Me Florence because Agata’s offerings included custom tours. With just a single afternoon in Florence, we wanted to maximize our chance to experience its rich history. We emailed back and forth a few times to narrow down the sites we’d see into a manageable shortlist and work out the logistics. Three weeks later, we were meeting our guide in front of a bookstore facing the original center of the city. Our guide, Irene, grew up in Florence and has a Ph.D. in anthropology, plus other relevant degrees. For the next three hours, we soaked in the sites, sounds and history as she guided us through busy squares and quiet side streets. We had chosen Santa Croce and Galleria dell’Academia (Michelangelo’s David) as our top priorities. Irene fit in a few other notable stops, weaving in lots of extra architectural notes and cultural commentary as we walked. Her teaching background shows. Some tour guides just spew information. She kept returning to broader themes, such as the shifts in power between church and state. We left this custom tour feeling like we had made the most of our time in Florence.

I recently visited Florence with a large group of friends and relatives, there were 11 of us. I booked Agata from Guide Me Florence to guide our tour of the Uffizi Museum. It was like a private art history class for our group! Agata basically gave us a history of the renaissance leading us through the artworks and showing how they evolved. Obviously, this museum is so large there is no way to see everything in one visit which is why a tour is so valuable. Agata’s knowledge of the subject matter was so extensive, I realized just how little I know about art. After the tour my companions were raving about our experience and couldn’t believe I found such an amazing resource. Next time I am in Florence, I would definitely book another tour with Guide Me Florence. You won’t be disappointed!

Bardzo serdecznie polecamy Panią Agatę. Pełen profesjonalizm i wiedza przekazana przyjemnie i solidnie w 2,5h. Pani Agata oprowadziła nas po Florencji, ale oprowadza też po Sienie, Pizie, Lucce. Warto dać się oprowadzić Pani Agacie ! Polecamy !!! 😄

Bardzo dziękujemy za wspaniały czas w Sienie, Pizie i Florencji. Pomimo zróżnicowanej wiekowo grupie Pani Agata zainteresowała nas wszystkich. Ciekawe opowieści, wiedza i poczucie humoru sprawiły, że wizytę w tych miejscach będziemy jeszcze długo wspominać. Mamy nadzieję, że do zobaczenia 😊

We were lucky enough to have Agata as our guide for 4 days and she made our vacation in Florence amazing. Agata worked with us to create an itinerary that focused on our daughter's request for all things Medici as well as a day out in Siena. Lunches were chosen at perfect locations and we never felt rushed or tired. We appreciated the thought Agata put in scheduling breaks and the knowledge she shared. We can't recommend Agata and Guide me Florence enough. We fell in love with Florence and can't wait to go back.

Agata was wonderful.

In early April my wife and I visited Florence and the Val D'Orica area of south Tuscany for three weeks. On two occasions, we had the good fortune to use the services of @GuideMeFlorence for tours and to spend several hours with @AgataChryanowska, an amazingly well-informed guide, who first spent seven hours explaining the intricacies of life in Florence under the Medici reign, the life and works of Leonardo and Michelangelo and where to lunch in style in Florence @Vinievecchisapori. Our second day with Agata was spent in Sienna. Here we learned about how Sienna developed, the importance of the Sienna neighbourhoods, the history and excitement of "The Palio" horse race and all about the art and techniques used in the amazing Siena Cathedral. Once again, she found an amazing place for us to enjoy lunch and she left us with an understanding of the 1000 year old traditions that still impact everyday life in this great city.

Laura was a fastastic tour guide. Being an artist myself, I appreciated her sense of detail on all the works we saw at the gallery. Would highly recommend!!!

Lucy was very knowledgeable about the history and art at the Uffizi museum. So glad we had her as our guide. She also had great recommendations for food that we later had for our dinner.

Agata is a wonderful, warm, generous, smart, passionate and expert guide. We loved our time with her. You will too.

Four of us spent a brilliant 5 days in Florence in April 2025. We chose to have a guided walking tour for two and a half hours on our first morning to get a feel for the architecture, art and history of this lovely town. Agata met us at the pre-arranged time and proceeded to provide us with a fascinating description of the buildings, the reason for their location and the history behind their construction and details of their decoration. We walked (easy walking) to around 10 places of interest (this tour did not include entry to any, which suited us as we wanted to select those which we would go into later) and the in-depth knowledge that Agata displayed was astonishing (one tip was, don't blindly enter all Cathedrals because they are so lovely on the outside, often all the money was spent on the outside and the insides can be anti-climatic). This was not one of those tours with 50 people following a distant flag with radio earpieces to hear a commentary. Agata specialises in small, personal tours, where she can speak directly to her audience and engage in conversation and answer questions. Agata was a great guide, highly recommended, and well worth the money.

Agata is the guide you want to hire in Florence or beyond! Her passion and depth of knowledge of the art and history of Florence made our tour amazing. The bonus is what a terrific and hospitable person she is. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and the depth she brought to our experience in Florence. Highest recommendation!

Aghata ci ha accompagnato in due stupende visite guidate: gli Uffizi e la visita alla città con la chiesa di Santa Croce. Il nostro gruppo di due famiglie aveva 5 bambini tra i 6 e i 14 anni e il suo racconto si è adattato perfettamente alle esigenze di tutti, grandi e piccoli. Una guida molto interattiva, super preparata che ha soddisfatto ogni nostra curiosità. Puntuale e sorridente, ha portato con sé tutto il necessario dalle radioline ( indispensabili per sentirci nella folla) ad un piccolo libretto x accompagnare la visita come una sorta di caccia al tesoro. Senza di lei non avremmo saputo che Firenze è piena di così tanti tesori. Il prezzo corretto per il servizio offerto, sicuramente da consigliare!

Our guide was knowledgeable and patient, answering our questions thoroughly. We got a much better appreciation for the places we visited. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence.

Oprowadzenie po Florencji z panią Agatą było niezwykle ciekawym doświadczeniem. Zdecydowaliśmy się na czterogodzinny spacer po mieście z wizytą w dwóch zabytkach: Santa Maria Novella i Kaplicach Medycejskych z przepiękną kaplicą grobową zaprojektowaną przez Michała Anioła - Sagrestia Nuova. W Santa Maria Novella mogliśmy podziwiać między innymi freski Domenico Ghirlandaio, na temat których pani Agata napisała swoją pracę doktorską, więc otrzymaliśmy interesującą porcję fachowej wiedzy. Niezwykle interesujący sposób opowiadania, profesjonalizm, jej pasja, miły głos i sposób bycia sprawiły, że czas minął nam zbyt szybko, moglibyśmy słuchać jej godzinami. Pani Agato, dziękujemy! Z pewnością jeszcze wrócimy do Florencji. The guided tour of Florence with Agata was an extremely interesting experience. We decided to take a four-hour walk around the city with a visit to two monuments: Santa Maria Novella and the Medici Chapels with the beautiful tomb chapel designed by Michelangelo - the Sagrestia Nuova. In Santa Maria Novella, we were able to admire, among other things, the frescoes of Domenico Ghirlandaio, on which Agata wrote her doctoral thesis, so we received an interesting portion of professional knowledge. Her extremely interesting way of telling stories, her professionalism, her passion, her pleasant voice and manner made the time pass all too quickly, we could have listened to her for hours. Ms Agata, thank you! We will certainly return to Florence again.

My tour with Agata was the highlight of my trip to Florence. Having a dedicated guide through the Uffizi & Accademia changed the entire experience. I learned so much, fell in love with works I’d known previously and discovered many others. It’s clear that Agata is passionate about providing clients with the best possible experience. If I could have her with me at every museum I would jump at the opportunity!

We booked Agata for a three hour private tour for our party of 4 in September of 2024. Based on our requests, she took us through the Uffizi, the Accademia and the Basilica di San Lorenzo. It was wonderful to be free to focus on what we were seeing and leave the logistics to Agata. We enjoyed our tour immensely. Agata is not only extremely knowledgeable but very passionate about what she was showing us. We will definitely be booking again with her on our next trip to Florence in 2025.

Pani Agata pokazała nam Florencję w dwa dni, zwiedziliśmy m.in. Muzeum Uffizi i Galerię Akademii, tempo było idealne, wiedza imponująca, interpretacje dzieł nie raz nas zaskoczyły, mamy nadzieję, że kiedyś będziemy mieli jeszcze okazję spotkać się z Panią Agatą, polecamy gorąco

My wife and I highly recommend Guide me Florence for a great visit to Florence. Agata, our tour coordinator, did an absolute wonderful job planning a great day that met our interests with all the time constraints we (unfortunately) had. Agata worked very well with us and was a terrific and timely communicator. Our tour guide Francesca, was absolutely incredible. She was able to create an experience that not only covered the “must sees”, but also capture a local flavor. Her lunch selection was great! We were on a tight time schedule, and while I am sure Francesca felt rushed, we never did. And her knowledge and ability to share her vision of the art to this novice at the Accademia Gallery and Uffizi was unapparelled and why I will recommend her to all my friends and family lucky enough to visit Florence.

Fantastic tour. Agata is very knowledgeable and really brought Florence to life for us. Highly recommend.

Agata is the perfect guide for anyone who wants to tour Florence and the Tuscany area. The extent of her knowledge defies expectations. She knows history, art history, architecture, etc. She is also very accomadating. She worked entirely within our schedule and was flexible regarding changes. She also provided us with a list of places to stay and restaurants for dining and let us make the choices. All of her suggestions were ourstanding. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Bardzo polecamy zwiedzanie z panią Agatą 🙂 Podczas oprowadzania po Galerii Uffizi przekazała nam - bardzo przystępnie - mnóstwo ciekawych informacji. Była to dla nas o wiele ciekawsza wizyta niż poprzednia, kiedy korzystaliśmy z drukowanym przewodników i audioguide'a.

We had a wonderful experience with these private tours. Our guides were warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. They not only made us feel welcome in Florence, they gave us a great understanding of what we were looking at as well as the context. I highly recommend.

Agata is an excellent tour guide! Our family hired Agata for a tour of the Uffizi Galleries this summer, and she did a great job curating the Uffizi collection for us. Agata has deep knowledge of Italian art, and was able to clearly explain the importance and historical significance of the key art pieces at the Uffizi. Agata also was very responsive to our questions, and did an awesome job engaging our two teenage kids. We'll certainly try to book Agata again the next time we are in Florence!

Mieliśmy przyjemność spędzić dwa dni na zwiedzaniu Florencji w towarzystwie Pani Agaty. Pełen profesjonalizm, punktualna, bardzo kontaktowa osoba, fantastycznie przekazuje wiedzę - zaciekawi nawet najbardziej znudzonego nastolatka :), jest nieszablonową przewodniczką, z ogromną pasją i szacunkiem do sztuki. Idealnie dobrała dla Nas tempo zwiedzania, czas, miejsca,. Bardzo byliśmy zadowoleni i czekamy na więcej 🙂

This was my 2nd time to Florence and the private guided tour with "GUIDE ME FLORENCE" was the BEST way to see the museums and significant sites. Thank you so much for an amazing tour and in-depth understanding of the history, frescoes and paintings!

This was a phenomenal tour. Agata is so knowledgeable, and explains the paintings and architecture that is so fascinating. I definitely highly recommend Agata. Thank you Agata for sharing your knowledge with us 2 Canadians.

Extremely knowledgeable and articulate. She is clearly passionate about her guiding and was able to pass on information that made the morning rather special and not superficial by just visiting the obvious tourist attractions.

Agata came highly recommended to us and she did not disappoint! Her depth of knowledge on the Medici family and sites we visited was incredible. She expertly wove historical, artistic and architectural details into a narrative that took us back in time. Highly recommend!!

My wife and I had a great private tour with Agata. She has a wealth of knowledge!

10/10 Excellent. Agata and Lucy are brilliant. Great communication when organising the trip. Lucy has deep knowledge about all of Florence, history, architecture, art and art history. Best tour company I have ever used

Gorąco polecam zwiedzanie Florencji z Panią Agatą. Spędziliśmy wspaniale czas, dowiadując się wielu fascynujących rzeczy. Oprowadzanie było na najwyższym poziomie! Co więcej, Pani Agata tak zaplanowała trasę, że dzięki niej większość czasu spędziliśmy w cieniu, co było szczególnie cenne w tak słoneczny dzień.

Our Dear friends recommended Agata to us to guide us through Florence. Not only did Agata organize all of our reservations and book our tickets, she also clearly is an art historian who is able to teach her clients about the art and architecture of this beautiful city in a way that belies her love for Florence. Memorably, she guided us through the Uffizi Gallery which would have been daunting had we done it alone. I highly recommend her guidance. It surely made our time in Firenze a better one.

Pani Agata to profesjonalny, świetny przewodnik z dużą wiedzą historyczną, nie tylko z Florencji, ale także z regionu. Z przyjmnością zwiedzało się miasto, niezapomniane wrażenia, dziękujemy bardzo.

We booked a personalized tour of Florence with Agata and we had the most wonderful experience! To start with, Agata planed our tour ideally, keeping in mind that we are a family with kids, arranging our time early enough to avoid the summer heat and crowds and arranged for our tickets. She tried to keep our children interested while explaining everything about the history of Florence. We learnt a lot new and very interesting information about the history, buildings and life of Florence while walking around the city and then visiting the Uffizi. Agata had planned every detail, answered all our questions, she was even so kind to try to involve our youngest one in the whole experience. We will definitely suggest Agata to our friends in the future and we would like to thank her for a memorable tour!

We spent a great half-day with Agata in Florence! We organised a private tour of the Accademia, Uffizzi Gallery and the city centre. Agata provided us with an excellent guidance of the art we saw, the city's history, the architecture. Very interesting information. Not too much, not too little, all to the point! Definitely recommend! 😊

Zwiedzanie Florencji z Panią Agatą było niezwykle interesujące. Jest bardzo profesjonalną przewodniczką z gruntownym wykształceniem i ogromną wiedzą, którą przekazuje w sposób bardzo ciekawy i przystępny. Chociaż nasz pobyt trwał tylko kilka godzin i wybraliśmy spacer po historycznym centrum Florencji plus wizyta w Galerii Accademia to wyjechaliśmy zachwyceni i pełni niedosytu. Dziękujemy.

I contacted Agata to arrange a guide. We required one for three separate days. Agata guided for one session, Isabella for another and Laura for another. The quality of their knowledge and delivery is outstanding. Much more than a guide, it would be better to call them historians. So knowledgable but also able to relay the information in a way which is engaging and informative. We were a party of 4 and I cannot praise them enough. Truly excellent. Thank you Agata if we return I will absolutely contact you again.

Agata was a fantastic tour guide today taking us through the beautiful city of Florence. She was extremely knowledgeable about the city, the history and answered all our questions. She showed us some amazing sites and some interesting areas we would not have seen had we not had the expertise of her guidance. We were a family of four traveling with two young adults so she made every aspect interesting for everyone. I highly recommend Agata the next time you visit Florence!

Agatha was our private tour guide of Florence this past Sunday. She was engaging, informative and an expert on all things Florence! We were very pleased with her presentation! We covered the main points of interest over 2 1/2 hours and she managed to keep us interested and focused! We highly recommend Agatha if you are looking for thorough and thoutful guide!

Polecam serdecznie zwiedzanie Florencji z Panią Agatą. Bardzo dobrze spędziliśmy czas i poznaliśmy wiele ciekawostek. Oprowadzanie było bardzo profesjonalne!

Our family took a walking tour with Agata on our first day in Florence. She has a sweet, kind personality, and her passion for the history and art of Florence is evident. She's extremely knowledgeable and gave us insights that we would have never gotten on our own. We highly recommend her!

Agata was the best! She was so warm and welcoming to our family! She is extremely knowledgeable. We are so grateful for the time that we spent with her!

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!

Had a wonderful day touring Florence with Agatha, she was warm, friendly and very informative, highly recommend using her services

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.

Absolutely wonderful time we spent with Agata: knowledgeable, interesting, friendly, helpful, all the qualities and more that one would expect from an excellent and experienced tour guide. If you want to explore the many treasures of Florence, she’s the one!

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.

Agata was a fantastic tour guide for our visit to Florence. Before booking she allowed us to slightly modify one of her tour offerings so that each member of our family got to do something on our must see list. Agata was very knowledgeable, personable and made our experience extra special right down to the spot she suggested for lunch. Would not hesitate to book with Agata again when we next find ourselves in Florence.

A perfect Sunday morning. Agata is truly sweet. Very knowledgeable, really explained the history in an interesting and fun way. Also showed me some street art as it is an interest of mine so it was a great mix. It was my first morning in Florence so it was a perfect introduction to the city. ❤️✨ I highly recommend. 10/10.

Miałem wielką przyjemność być oprowadzony przez Panią Agatę we Florencji i Sienie. Kilka godzin w każdym z tych miast pozwoliło mi uchwycić charakter i klimat ważniejszych miejsc i zwyczajów Udało mi się dostrzec wpływ dziejów historycznych na teraźniejszość. Ponadto niezwykle ciekawe, bogate w treści historyczne i społeczne opowieści, naszej przewodniczki nadal pobudzają do refleksji, przyjazna atmosfera oraz bardzo dobre zorganizowanie, fenomenalna wiedza Pani Agaty skłaniają mnie do powtórzenia w niedalekiej przyszłości wyjazdu do ciekawych miejsc, ...... z Pania Agatą :)) Jeszcze raz dziekuje.

Spędziliśmy z żoną 2 cudowne dni z Agatą. Agata wprowadziła nas w świat sztuki, historii i ciekawostek związanych z Florencją. Jej wiedza jest przeogromna i przekazuje ją w sposób ciekawy, nieprzytłaczający, pozwalający na wymianę myśli a nawet dyskusję na temat interpretacji np. konkretnej rzeźby (pomimo, że niewiele o tym wiedzieliśmy przed podróźą). Ogarnęła wszystkie sprawy organizacyjne, rezerwacje biletów,, "skracanie" kolejek itd. Do tego jest osobą przemiłą, nie buduje dystansu, czuliśmy się swobodnie w jej towarzystwie. Możemy gorąco polecić KAŻDEMU! Jeśli czegoś żałujemy to tego, że nie umówiliśmy się z Agatą na wspólną kolację - ale do następnego razu....

Polecamy! Pani Agata wykazała się profesjonalizmem i ogromną wiedzą. O Florencji i Sienie wie chyba wszystko 🙂 Swoimi opowieściami zainspirowała nas do lektury historii Włoch. Luźna atmosfera. Zdecydowanie spełniła nasze oczekiwania.

Pani Agata to wspaniała przewodniczka. Posiada dużą wiedzę, którą przekazuje w sposób ciekawy i przystępny. Pani Agato, zwiedzanie Florencji z Panią, miało całkiem inny wymiar, za co bardzo dziękujemy i pozdrawiamy serdecznie 🙂

Our group of 4 spent a full day touring Florence with Agata. It's one of the best tours we've experienced in our travels. Agata is very passionate and knowledgeable about Florence and it's art, culture and history. We had only 2 days in Florence and were very glad we spent our first day with Agata, getting an overview of the city and some of it's important artwork and landmarks. She was a delightful guide and we enjoyed our time with her. Her costs are very reasonable and she was quick to respond and organize the tour. I would highly recommend spending some time with Agata when in Florence.

Our group of five felt so privileged to have someone as knowledgeable as Agata as our guide for a Florence City Tour last week. All of us have an interest in art history, and Agata's expertise combined with her very apparent love for Florence made for an exceptional morning. The time we spent in Santa Maria Novella was especially compelling. In addition to the magnificent works of art, Agata discussed her own research involving the Tournabuoni Chapel. Everyone was completely engaged, and we found ourselves talking about the tour for the next few days. I should also add that Agata offers concierge tour planning services, and she helped me plan a week of activities that best utilized our time in Florence and took into account everyone's interests. She helped with museum tickets, a boat ride on the Arno, a Fiesole hiking guide (ask her about the amazing Stefano) along with restaurant and shopping suggestions. I found her help to be invaluable. In addition to her passion and the depth of her academic background, it's just a delight to spend time with Agata. I can't think of a more perfect person to have as a guide to this extraordinary city.

Agata is a wonderful guide! She is one of the colleagues I mostly can rely on. I have had some occasions to pass her some clients I couldn't guide and always it has been a guarantee. As art historian, She is highly qualified and can number the publication of some researches on Florentine Art among her competences. It's always a pleasure to collaborate with her. I definitely recommend her as your guide in the homeland of Renaissance

Bardzo polecam. Pani Agata oprowadzała naszą rodzinę po Florencji przez 3h. Potrafiła zainteresować zarówno dorosłych jak i dzieci (7 i 12 lat). Pięknie i interesująco opowiadała dostosowując się do pytań i zainteresowań (historia, historia sztuki). Nie pozostawiła żadnego pytania bez dokładnej odpowiedzi. Chętnie skorzystamy z dłuższego oprowadzania przy następnej wizycie w Toskanii.

We first met Agata around two years ago as a guide on a visit to various places in Tuscany and were so impressed that we have just finished (April 2022) some private guided tours with her on a subsequent visit to Florence. Agata is an excellent guide. Her breadth and depth of knowledge is very impressive, she can adapt tours to meet individual needs/interests and is a very nice person as well. We recommend her most highly.

Me and my 2 children, 8 and 5 had a blast visiting the statue of David with Agatha! She is full of knowledge and funny insights. My girls loved her. So informative and funny. We couldn’t ask for a better guide. Next time we will visit another museum with her! Thank you Agatha

Splendida esperienza, tour delle botteghe d'oltrarno coinvolgente, originale e molto interessante. Guida competente, simpatica e appassionata. Davvero complimenti!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience looking at Renaissance art in Florence and Assisi with Agata and I highly recommend her as a guide. We spent a week visiting museums, churches, palaces, and tombs and not only did I learn a great deal, but I had a lot of fun too. Agata is a professional art historian who specializes in the Renaissance so she is the perfect guide if you are a lover of DaVinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, and others. In addition to seeing all of the incredible masterpieces of Italian art, I was able to discover several other artists that are equal in every way to Michelangelo. I will most definitely be back again and look forward to future tours!

On Oct. 15, 2021, Agata gave us 4 friends of various nationalities (US, ES, CH) a wonderful and highly informative tour through the Uffizi galleries. She impressed us with her profound knowledge about art history and how she was able to present each image and the lives of the painters in a wider historical context. The communication with Agata was very swift and friendly. She organized the entry tickets so we could skip the lines. A pleasant and highly recommendable experience!

Seria e professionale. Rende Firenze e la sua storia dell’arte dalla giusta prospettiva. Consigliata!

Profesjonalnie, z dużą wiedzą, bez zadęcia.

Chcieliśmy przekazać wielkie uznanie dla Pani Agaty!! Urzekła nas nie tylko wiedza i kompetencje, ale również wielkie wyczucie naszych oczekiwań i zainteresowań. Dla każdego było coś ciekawego. Interpretowane przez nią dzieła pozwalały nam odrobine rozumieć twórców, zaglądać do wnętrz obrazów, słuchając o perspektywie i trójwymiarowości. Był czas na doskonałe lody, wskazówki gdzie można świetnie zjeść !! Śmiało możemy powiedzieć, że dzięki Pani Agacie odkryliśmy cudowną Florencję! Dziękujemy !!! i Bardzo Panią Agatę polecamy! Kamila i Marcin z dziećmi

Niezapomniane wrażenia! Pani Agata jest wyjątkowym przewodnikiem, który potrafi zainteresować historią i zarazić miłością do Florencji. Polecam serdecznie!

Polecam Pania Agate:) super osoba, mega wiedza.

Dziękujemy bardzo Pani Agacie za prezentację Florencji! Profesjonalizm, ogromna wiedza i umiejetność jej przekazania! Byliśmy w dużej grupie 4 rodziny z dziećmi, doceniamy cierpliwość też 🙂 zatrzymanie na lody, picie itp. Super kontakt i przygotowanie do wycieczki. Polecamy bardzo! Poznacie Florencję naprawdę z Panią Agatą!

Zwiedzanie z Agatą ( Guide me Florence ) to niezapomniane przeżycie. Jej pasja, wiedza, znajomość Florencji ( nie wątpię, że innych toskańskich miast podobnie ), jej tajemnic i ciekawostek oraz dar opowiadania sprawiły, że Florencja stała się jeszcze piękniejsza i jeszcze ciekawsza 🙂 Poprosiliśmy o przygotowanie spaceru po mniej znanych miejscach tego wspaniałego miasta. Trasa, którą ułożyła specjalnie dla nas Agata spełniła nasze oczekiwania. W każdej opowieści Agata przekazywała nam wiedzę historyka sztuki, którą ubarwiała swoją wrażliwością na piękno i wzbogacała historyczno - społecznym kontekstem. Polecam Agatę wszystkim znajomym i wszystkim, którzy chcą się nasycić pięknem Toskanii 🙂 Iwona Toka

Pani Agata profesjonalnie oprowadza po Florencji. Zwiedzając z Nią to piękne miasto czuć bliżej niesamowitą historię tych miejsc. Snując swoją opowieść, umiejętnie podaje żelazne fakty z historii sztuki na zmianę z anegdotami, pokazując florenckie arcydzieła podaje ich historyczny kontekst, prowadząc przez miasto opowiada o postaciach i twórcach, z przeszłości i z dnia dzisiejszego. Poznajemy artystów i rzemieślników prze ich dzieła i spotykając się z nimi bezpośrednio. Cenna przygoda!!

Bardzo polecam. Naprawdę warto. We Florencji spędziliśmy z Panią Agatą 2 dni po kilka godzin w czerwcu 2021 r. Zwiedzanie to była przyjemność. Profesjonalnie, wyczerpująco, ciekawie, bez zanudzania. Pierwszy dzień to spacer po Florencji, przez historyczne miejsca + Galeria Accademia. Drugi dzień to Galeria Uffizi, nie do ogarnięcia przy samodzielnym zwiedzaniu (coś trzeba wybrać, nie da się zobaczyć wszystkiego, trudno zdecydować co pominąć). Pani Agata przygotowała bardzo ciekawą trasę przez Galerię, interesująco łączyła kolejne dekady w sztuce. I te komentarze 🙂 pełny profesjonalizm. Było super. Dziękuję bardzo.

Pani Przewodniczka bardzo kompetentnie, ciekawie i przystępnie oprowadziła naszą mini grupkę po Florencji, przez co ten dzień pobytu był bardzo efektywny i ciekawy 🙂 Lepsza opcja niż zwiedzanie samemu z przewodnikiem książkowym, polecamy 😉

Agata non è solo una guida competente, preparatissima, capace di veicolare il senso di quanto sta narrando e di orientarsi nel tempo, nello spazio e nella stratigrafia delle città, ma è anche una studiosa sempre aggiornata ed appassionata.

Because of the covid-19 epidemic, I wasn’t able to take one of Agata’s tours in person. Instead, I signed up for her online art history lessons focusing on the Renaissance in Florence. The lessons were so interesting, Agata is very knowledgeable and is an expert on the subject. The information was presented in a clear and engaging way. Next time I’m in Florence I will sign up for a real tour with Agata and put all the information she gave me into practice 🙂

Agata Chrzanowska si è dimostrata non solo una professionista estremamente informata ma ha saputo semplificare la spiegazione permettendo a tutti di apprezzare i vari aspetti delle opere.

Bardzo dużo ciekawych informacji, byliśmy zachwyceni wiedzą i zaangażowaniem przewodniczki. Prawdziwa pasjonatka sztuki. Świetnie spędzony czas, polecamy wszystkim wybierającym się do Florencji 🙂

Agata ci ha accompagnate nel visitare la Galleria dell’Accademia e il centro di Firenze, lei è stata molto professionale e cordiale, le sue spiegazioni impeccabili e mai noiose! Consiglio fortemente di farsi accompagnare da lei per la visita della città per vedere le cose con occhi diversi.

During our recent holiday in Florence, my friends and I had the great privilege of experiencing the private guided tour of Uffizzi, Academia Gallery and Medici Chapel, with Agata Chrzanowska. As a PhD holder in the history of art, she has an immense knowledge on a subject of art, which translates to a very thorough, efficient and at the same time pleasant and stress free visit to the museums. From the ticket reservation, through "skip the line" entry, effortless navigation round the enormous riches of Florentine museums, to genuine delicious and honestly priced Tuscan food in an authentic osteria recommended by Agata, we have had an enormously gratifying experience. On top of her professional qualifications she has an authentic love for Florence, Tuscany and Italy as a whole, and seeing Florence through her eyes made this city even more beautiful. To cap it all, she is a very eloquent, friendly, and at the same time a very tactful person with a great sense of humour! I cannot stress enough how fulfilling the whole experience was, and how we regretted not being able to book at least one more day with her because she was fully booked! During my travels I often book guided tours, but must admit that the quality offered by Agata is, at least so far, equal to none!

Agata is a fantastic guide who’s love for and knowledge of Florentine art, history, and culture is thoughtfully demonstrated in her tours. As background for the works of art, she explains the historical and political trends of the time in such a way that you can’t help but be in awe of how the piece is so much more than a beautiful painting or sculpture. In addition, Agata gave excellent advice for shopping in support of local artisans and tasty meals. I will highly recommend to anyone visiting Florence to arrange at least one tour with Guide me Florence.

Dzięki Pani Agacie zobaczyliśmy Florencję od najciekawszej i najpiękniejszej strony. Jako przewodnik posiada nie tylko niezwykłą (popartą naukowymi kwalifikacjami) wiedzę, ale także pasję i dar jej przekazywania. Wchodzenie do kolejnych obiektów, czy sal muzealnych, które zazwyczaj bywa nużące, okazywało się absolutnie niezwykłą przygodą. Dzięki opowiadaniu Pani Agaty mogliśmy uświadomić sobie co naprawdę oglądamy, poznać historię i kontekst polityczny lub obyczajowy poszczególnych dzieł. Pełen profesjonalizm. Serdecznie polecam Panią Agatę wszystkim, dla których zwiedzanie nie jest tylko „zaliczeniem” kolejnych miejsc,

Panią Agatę gorąco polecam - uczta dla uszu i oczu 🙂

Nigdy nie wyniosłam tylu informacji ze zwiedzania jakiejkolwiek galerii sztuki. Wiadomości były podane w ciekawy, zabawny sposób. Gorąco polecam !!!

Profesjonalne i sympatyczne oprowadzenie po Ufizzi. Mimo że nie jestem zbyt "muzealna" bawiłam się świetnie. P. Agata opowiada bardzo ciekawie a do tego ma szeroką wiedzę.

Zachęcam! Poprosiliśmy p. Agatę żeby nam pokazała Uffizi i był to strzał w dziesiątkę. Trzy godziny wspaniałej opowieści o sztuce. Zero nudy.

In early June 2019, my wife, 14-year old son, and I enjoyed a guided tour with Agata Chrzanowska of the Uffizi and Accademia. The entire experience was wonderful. Agata handled all the reservations and we moved effortlessly past the crowds. Being with Agata, all outside distractions faded away. We did not notice all the tourists around us or worry about where to go. We could focus on the beautiful art and Agata’s voice. With each major piece of art, Agata would tell us about the artist and the historical, political and social trends of that time period. It was an amazing, stress-free learning experience. When we return to Florence, we will seek Agata for anther 1 or 2 tours. Agata was prompt and clear on all email communications. Our hotel was near the Uffizi and she graciously stopped by our hotel to walk us to the museum. Agata had an innate ability to read us to set the right pace. At the end of the tour, Agata gave us many great suggestions on restaurants, leather shop, and artisan shops.

Być w Toskanii i nie poznać jej z Agatą to jakby być tam tylko w połowie! Od pierwszej chwili spotkania Agata promieniuje radosną energią, zaangażowaniem i entuzjazmem! Niesamowita jest jej wiedza o historii, sztuce i wszystkich miastach które udało nam się odwiedzić. Te kilka dni spędzonych w Toskanii rozbudziło apetyt na więcej! Jest jeszcze tyle do poznania i zobaczenia......... 28.05 - 01.06.2019 r.

Firenze, jest wspaniałym miastem, które znałem tylko z książek i obrazów filmowych. Możliwość spacerowania po uliczkach, zakamarkach, gdzie tworzyła się część naszej wspólnej Europy. Tej intelektualnej, wrażliwej i zwyczajnie cudownej. Bardzo dziękuję za to, że mogłem tego doświadczyć dzięki wspaniałej przewodniczce Agacie, która zimne mury architektury, martwe rzeźby i obrazy zamieniła w realne funkcjonowanie ówczesnych ludzi. Zdecydowanie polecam podziwianie tego przepięknego miasta jak również Toskanii wraz z przewodnikiem.

Nonostante la giornata grigia e piovosa, Agata è riuscita a condurci con la sua preparazione, ma soprattutto con la sua passione e l'amore per l'arte e per Firenze, in un magico viaggio alla scoperta della città, della sua storia e dei suoi incantevoli giardini. Agata è la persona giusta per chi vuole lasciarsi trasportare e contagiare dalle emozioni che una città come Firenze può regalare.

Pani Agata jest doskonałym przewodnikiem! Polecam zwiedzanie w Jej towarzystwie każdemu. Oprowadziła naszą rodzinę po mieście opowiadając ciekawe historie i pokazując nam miejsca, których byśmy nigdy sami nie znaleźli! Gorąco polecam!

Professionalità, puntualità, preparazione, cura, precisione e cortesia. Tutto questo è Guide me Florence e la persona che ne offre i servizi: Agata non è definibile come studiosa convenzionale, non solo perché parte da una solidissima base teorica fortemente multidisciplinare, ma soprattutto per la meticolosità e serietà con cui si prepara per portarvi in mezzo all'arte e all'ambiente e per la gentilezza con cui saprà farvi sentire a casa in ogni posto e ogni ambito culturale.

Agata ci ha condotti per le vie di un'affollatissima Firenze senza nemmeno farci notare la folla, grazie ai suoi racconti e alla sua vasta conoscenza della storia della città. Molto paziente, nonostante i pianti di nostro figlio, poco "scolastica" e molto coinvolgente nel tour. Ultra consigliata per capire un po' più a fondo la storia complessa della città.

Panią Agatę znalazłam po długich poszukiwaniach w internecie. Ofert przewodników jest mnóstwo, ale mnie interesował PRAWDZIWY przewodnik po sztuce. I tak znalazłam panią Agatę. I właśnie skromny, ale rzeczowy opis usług mnie przekonał. Fantastyczny kontakt od samego początku. Oprowadzanie po Florencji nie było tylko pokazaniem zabytków i dzieł wraz z anegdotkami. Pani Agata dostosowała się do naszych oczekiwań i od pierwszej chwili przeprowadziła nas po świecie sztuki, kultury i historii. Wycieczka trwała pół dnia, ale wrażeń, wiadomości jakby po tygodniu. I to tak przedstawionych, że do dziś wszystko pamiętamy. Poza tym widać autentyczne zakochanie pani Agaty w sztuce, którym dzieli się z turystami i które się nam udziela. Oprócz tego można z panią Agatą porozmawiać na każdy temat. Bardzo polecamy szczególnie indywidualne oprowadzanie. Najlepiej wydane pieniądze w czasie naszej 3-tygodniowej podróży po Italii.

Visitare Firenze guidati da Agata è un’esperienza che consiglio vivamente anche a chi conosce già la città. Grazie alla sua profonda preparazione, all’efficacia comunicativa e ad un sincero, contagioso amore per l’arte fiorentina , Agata ti sa coinvolgere in un percorso affascinante e ti conduce a guardare Firenze con occhi più attenti e a coglierne anche gli aspetti più curiosi e meno noti.

Agata is a perfect guide, shares her deep knowledge and understanding of the city of Florence, old and new, in a fascinating manner!

Spent two days touring Florence with Agata. She has a PhD in Art History. She gave an outstanding tour of the art, architecture, food and culture of Florence. Would highly recommend!

I had an opportunity to be guided by Agata in Tuscany a few years ago. She is well educated and has enormous knowledge on italian history and culture, that can interest other people. Despite she came from Poland, she speaks fluently English and Italian 🙂

We booked the Medici quarter tour with Guide me Florence during our last family vacation. Agata was an excellent guide, combining a deep knowledge of the history and monuments of the city, with a light and entertaining touch. Even my restless young nephew listen to her while she was speaking about San Lorenzo Church! (trust me, it's not a mean feat!) At the end of the tour, don't forget to ask Agata some tips about where to eat a good ice-cream in the city centre!
