"Walking Tours of Florence are wise and well informed.
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."

Guides in Florence
Michele Lester from London writes
We are travelling with a couple of friends to Florence next month. It is our first time in the city and we would like to employ a guide to show us around the Uffizi Gallery (above) as I understand it's a bit of a scrum. Any ideas?
I can personally recommend Artviva (00 39 055 264 5033, www.italy.artviva.com), which employs art history experts (all native English speakers) who use humour and anecdotes to explain the background to the gallery's most famous works.
You can join a three-hour guided tour for up to 14 people, which costs €25 (£23) each including entry charge, or hire a private guide for your party of four for €76 each. Artviva also offers excellent walking tours of central Florence, similar guided visits to other galleries in the city and "exclusive experiences" including an irreverent look at the city's history with a count from one of Florence's oldest families followed by drinks at his palazzo on the River Arno. The three-hour tour costs about £450 for up to five people.
