Great insights into the florentine history. Alesia was very knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor. I thought I knew a lot about Florence, but discovered many new gems.

La ns visita alla città ha avuto tutto un altro sapore con Alessia Carmignani. Raccomanderei a tutti di non farsi scappare una visita privata con lei. Con simpatia, empatia e grande cultura, Alessia vi farà conoscere la città in modo unico, ricco di particolari e curiosità. La città vi svelerà molti segreti con lei! Consigliatami da una carissima amica, la consiglio davvero a tutti. Zaira
