Hello!
Has anyone used the services of Paola Migliorni for a private tour of Florence? Or any other guides? I would appriciate your opinion.
Thank you very much!!

I just read on the Context Rome site that they now have a branch in Florence!! Run, do not walk and book a tour, go to http://naples.contexttravel.com/. I can only imagine that they are wonderful. Please post if you take one of their tours. (I might go back now from Hong Kong for that....) Otherwise, try below.

Expensive, but excellent personalized tours for you and your group alone. I would recommend them. I found them through Scale Reale/ Context Rome.

2. artviva.com/originalwalk.html

They do a large group tour (25 people),and offer bike tours and other tours. I have done their bike tour and their Beautiful Walks Tour, and enjoyed both. The Beautiful Walks tour ended up being only 6 people (3 of which were friends of mine), so it was kind of a private tour. The bike tour was private as myself and my 3 friends were the only ones who signed up. Their main walking tour of Florence tends to be quite a large group from what I have seen.

They do mostly bike and waking tours outside Florence, but take a look at their site. I have not taken any of their tours.

Never heard of context, but it looks very interesting.

I can vouch for Firenze Antica; used them many times for group I have brought to florence.

Context Rome is excellent too so i can imagine their services in florence are also quite good
