What travelers are saying
Everything went smoothly and as planned.
Wonderful! Patrizia was a treat to follow. Grazie mille!
My clients liked getting into the Skip the Line option to the museum and enjoyed the tour.
Very informative and a quick but insightful look at Renaissance works of Florence. It is always nice to have a guide in settings like the Accademia which can get very chaotic with tourists.
Tour guide was great!
Our trip was exceptionally seamless thanks to Ellen. She is extraordinarily organized and whatever she promises , always comes through. We travel with confidence because we know Ellen and Virtuoso always travel with us.
Could not have been more pleased! Simple meeting spot and excellent tour. Captured all the highlights in a way that was both efficient and thorough. Our guide kindly wore an additional microphone we brought that feeds into a cochlear implant. Above and beyond!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend.
