Small Group Tours (maximum eight participants)

Are you curious to know how Brunelleschi built his famous dome in Florence? Did you always ask yourself how Venetian palaces can stand in the water? When in Rome, would you like to hear about the four years Michelangelo spent on a scaffolding to paint the Sistine Chapel?

Rather than taking part into a large group tour, less expensive than private visits, our small group tours, with a maximum of eight participants, will allow you to share your experience with other discerning travelers and will give you a chance to communicate easily and constantly with your guide.

Our guides are all insiders, experienced at enlightening the complex mosaic of art, history, political and social context of each city with anecdotes and interesting insights, and will also sketch for you the particular lifestyle and mood of each place.

Past and present will be brought together, and the city you're visiting will soon unfold its secrets in front of your eyes, vivid and clear, better than any book!

Our small group tours are designed for those who would like to share our Venice, Florence and Rome walks with some other travelers.

RECOMMENDED

"Small group Vatican tour"
I highly recommend this tour group for seeing the Vatican and St. Peters Basilica. The English speaking guide was excellent. She took the time to use her iPad to better describe all the frescos in the Sistine Chapel. I really enjoyed this tour. Well worth the money

"The way to see Florence"
My husband and I spent over a week in Florence. We booked "Walks inside Florence" for several tours. Emma and Marzia were our guides and they were amazing, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and had stories that brought the sights we visited to life. I booked the services via the Internet in advance and found the planning and communication went easily. We have come home with many happy memories of Florence. Thank you

"History, art and fun"
This wasn't my first time in Venice, but the walk with Davide made all the difference in the way I see the city now!
It was light and fun, full of interesting information, with moments that transported us into centuries ago and made us imagine how the city and its citizens used to live, the importance and the meaning of many of the architecture and art displayed all around us. For me and my friend was a real history and art class which will be printed forever in our minds.
