They have a fresh accessible style which makes it fun. The recipe seems to be the more you enjoy the more you learn. And it works."

“Guide so knowledgeable and excited about subject matter – made verything so real and understable! Awesome! We did 3 tours in Florence (with 3 teens) and loved them all. Thank you!”

“The guide was very informative and knowledgeable and managed to create an excellent context for each artist and his works. We would have been lost in the Uffizi without the tour. We thought it was excellent.”

“The two days we have shared with Artviva have been inspirational. We hope we can do further trips in the future with you. Thank you for a most informative art history tour, we loved it, and learnt so much. Paola, you conduct a good tour – Grazie mille!”

“The two tours (Uffizi and Accademia) were well worth the cost. They provided enough depth to let me learn and see highlights in very large museums. Otherwise, it would have been truly exhausting and overwhelming as a first-time visitor. I would truly recommend your tour to others. Sylvia was our guide for both tours. She was outstanding. Very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining. She made the art come alive and brought enough background of art history and knowledge of the artist to make it extremely fabulous!”

“Paola was very interesting and knowledgeable and was easy to question if the need arose. This tour helped us in several ways: 1) We didn’t think to book museum tours before leaving the hotel so it got us in without long lines. 2) We saw many of the most important pieces of art without having to figure it out ourselves. 3) Paola made each piece we saw truly interesting because she was so knowledgeable about the art. She was very nice.”
