The tour was both informative and engaging. Helen provided excellent insights not just of the art itself, but of the history and fun facts as well. She did it with good humor and all in all, highly recommend her!

Siro did an incredible job sharing his vast knowledge of art and art history with us and with our 17, 15 and 13 year olds. We were initially intimidated by the 3 hour tour time, but it went by in a flash and we learned so much! It was worth every penny. Communication prior to and the day of was also great. This was the best tour we had during our stay in Italy. We will definitely use Context Travel again in the future.

Great intro to Florence with Alessandra! She kept all five of us engaged — not easy with kids ages 9 to 18. We got a nice mix of history, art, and helpful local tips on where to eat and shop. Loved hearing about the city from someone who grew up here. Super warm and knowledgeable — highly recommend.
