“Totally wonderful walking tour of the city with Elena. She was so knowledgeable, but also fun and flexible - we popped in and out of cafes and shops during out tour. Though she knew so much, the 3 hours we spent together seemed much more like hanging out with friend than having an intense history lesson! We would love to do another tour with Elena - either in Florence or somewhere else in Italy, since she does this all over her country.”
