Our tour with Dilara was honestly one of the highlights of our time in Florence. She was warm, easy to talk to, and really listened to what we liked. Instead of rushing us through shops, she took us to places that actually fit our style and budget, from small local designers to well-known boutiques. We never felt pressured to buy anything—just relaxed and taken care of. It felt like shopping with a very stylish friend who knows the city inside out. Highly recommend
