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."

Great Tour Guides
Over the years we have been very fortunate to work with some great guides, super experts, art historians, historians, actors and travel professionals. Collectively we have received acclaim from every major travel guide over the years.
Some of our Super Experts available for special on request events:
Maurizio Seracini, Francesco da Mosto and Burton Anderson to name a few.
Florence Guides and Tour Directors:
Artviva has provided sponsorship, training and support to many guides over the years. Artviva is the only company in Italy that takes the trouble to extensively train and support guides to achieve excellence at this level. Some guides, for example Freya Middleton, have received sponsorship from Artviva over a number of years. The sponsorship program enabled guides to live and work in Italy.
We only work with guides that get consistent great reviews. Many of our Florence guides over the years have had rave reviews from satisfied travelers.
