We did the Tuscan Bike Tour with Artviva: The Original and Best Walking Tours after several other companies didn't respond or bailed out on us. We were so glad we did. The bike tour was thoroughly enjoyable. Stefan was a great guide. He provided insight and great information. The villa was beautiful. The wine and olive oil were great. We... more

Both the Original Florence Walk and Uffizi tours were outstanding. They gave us a much better appreciation of the history of Florence, and allowed us to more fully enjoy all of the amazing landmarks and art in the city. Our guides were terrific, and they definitely brought the subjects to life. Even though they’ve probably given these tours dozens of... more

My wife and I enjoyed the Uffizi tour very much. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable on the artwork there and gave a fascinating tour. I would certainly take another tour in the future with ArtViva. more

He was very knowledgeable and made the tours fun, really enjoyable and worth every Euro! My favorite part was going to the winery/farm. The meal we... more

We did the Uffizi Gallery tour in Florence, but in hindsight wished we had booked other tours too. Our guide, Christine, did a bang-up job, and the 2 hours just flew by. She is an excellent guide, from the standpoint of her knowledge, her sense of humour that brought the art and the artists to life, and her ability to... more

We took the full day in Florence, including "The Original Florence Walk", "Masterpieces of the Uffizi Gallery Tour" and "The Original David Tour". The morning guide for the Florence walk was fantastic. She took us on the back streets and everything she said was fascinating. Even though from California, you could tell her love for Florence and certainly her knowledge... more
