Adam King14/02/2024Dr. Susanna Buricchi was an amazing tour guide. She is a wealth of knowledge, and her enthusiasm for her tours is incredible. She was personable, extremely knowledgable and considered the interests of each and every one of us on our tours. I cannot imagine finding a better tour guide anywhere in the world. Incredible experience!
Kishi Yamamoto29/12/2022Susanna was much more of an art historian than a 'guide'. I've had incredibly educational, eye-opening and inspirational 2 days with her in Arezzo and surrounding areas related to Piero de la Francesca. She also provided me with a great accommodation deal she arranged all for me. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Rachel Seba10/07/2022My husband, I and our two teenaged sons (ages 17 and 18) thoroughly enjoyed our day with Susannah. Of course, she was knowledgeable, but more importantly she was completely engaging. She was able to convey information about art, architecture, history and culture in a way that brought Renaissance figures to life. Susannah’s confident approach to sharing her enthusiasm for Florence and the highlights of what it has to offer made us all feel as though we had a front row seat to the happenings that are still driving forces today. Any group lucky enough to have Susannah as their guide is sure to have a truly memorable experience.

Stephen Olsen23/02/2021Over the years my wife Sally and I have on many occasions joined Susanna and some of her clients on visits to museums, sites and towns principally in Tuscany but also elsewhere in Italy. Susanna is an internationally renowned art historian, author and guide with a deep love for Italian art and culture. Her deep understanding of the how historical and cultural contexts y shaped the great works of the Italian Renaissance makes her commentaries particularly rich and interesting.
Virginia Connare30/01/2021Susanna was a wonderful guide! Everything we did was well planned, informative and fun! I highly recommend her!
CLEARY TANNER30/01/2021Susanna Buricchi, the leader, is a wonderful tour guide. She is personable and clearly loves what she is doing. She is most well qualified to lead her tourists through the country that she loves, as she has lived there all her life. She is also most well qualified to describe the beautiful art in Italy, as attested by her academic activities of lecturing, teaching and researching on the Medici Family, Florence and the Renaissance and the over 10 books she has published, including one on the Uffizi Gallery, translated in many languages and "Renaissance Art Masterpieces in Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" published in 2007 in the US by Barnes and Nobles. I have several of these books now! I was not a student of art when I experienced my tour. By the end of the tour, I appreciated the art we saw, and actually understood it, because of Susanna's wonderful detailed explanation of each. She described the historical background, the artist, political issues of the day, and more.
Susan Mappus29/01/2021What ever your interests are Artours will not disappoint. From educational, in depth tours of museums to the best places to dine. Susanna Buricchi is knowledgeable, personable, charming, accommodating, and fun. The only way to see Italy.

Relax32290520/09/2020Excellent, customized tour of Tuscany Dr. Susanna Buricchi arranged a customized one week tour of Tuscany for our group of 8 individuals. She was successful at fulfilling the requests/interest of all members of our group and made sure the tours were appealing to all of us. Susanna personally led our tours around various cities/towns in Tuscany and demonstrated an exceptional knowledge of the history, art, sculpture and architecture of the region. Prior to our trip, Susanna canvassed all of us to ensure that she knew our interests in order to customize our various tours. She arranged all the accommodations, meals, transportation and other services so all we had to do was enjoy our excursions around Tuscany. Truly an exceptional experience and we plan to utilize Susanna's services on future trips to Italy.
Nicola N20/07/2020Weekend ad Arezzo e dintorni Susanna è speciale! Una guida preparatissima che ti fa appassionare a tutto rendendo facili e interessanti argomenti complessi. Oltre a storia, arte e curiosità, ti sa dare consigli anche per passeggiate, cibi tipici, enogastronomia.. non guarda mai l'orologio.

Deb B09/03/2020enjoy the beauty and culture of italy We have used artours and dr Susanna Buricchi 2 different times for our visits to Italy. Both experiences were exceptional. The first trip involved a stay in Arezzo with day trips to many different venues. We had personalized tours with Susanna along with a private driver. Fantastic to learn about all the history and art from a professional art historian. She is as pleasant as she is knowledgeable and always reliable. Our second trip was a week in Cortona and a week in sorrento. the week in tuscanny was personally lead by Susanna- again a fantastic experience. The second week was all arranged by Susanna with local guides and drivers from the sorrento area. Gave us some wonderful memories and a desire to come back again and again. You can be sure we will use her services again.
mhsydney201612/02/2020Splendid tour of Tuscany I spent a delightful six days with Dr Susanna Buricchi last September following the Art And Wine tour described on her website but, as I was alone, it was designed just for the individual. Susanna is a professor, the author of thirteen books on Florence, the Uffici and the Renaissance. She is a warm hearted and most likeable guide, delightful company, very easy to talk to though we met as strangers, and interesting information comes as part of a natural conversation, not as a lecture by a tour guide. The first day we saw three works by Piero della Francesca, firstly the Madonna del Parto at Monterchi, then on to Sansepolcro with the magnificent Resurrection. This painting is in a quiet room by itself and for most of the time we were the only ones there. The day finished in Arezzo in the cathedral to see the Legend of the True Cross Frescoes. On subsequent days we went to Il Borro, Ponte Buriano, Cortona and the Etruscan Museum, hill towns, the Franciscan Monastery La Verna with the Andrea della Robbia terracottas and Montepulciano. At lunchtime on each day Susanna knew excellent and unpretentious restaurants with delicious, freshly prepared food. The one in Sansepolcro was outstanding but all were very good. At various points we also tasted some really excellent wine. These trips followed small roads into the Tuscan countryside, with cultivated fields and fresh woodland. It was particularly beautiful coming home in the late afternoon with the light slanting across the olive trees and their silvery leaves shimmering in the sun. I very highly recommend Artours.
spaloverMi28/09/2019Worst Experience We received the contact information from a reliable source in Italy. We exchanged multiple emails with the owner, Susanna Buricchi, before we left for Italy from the US. We had confirmed dates and places for tours on two seperate days. Upon arriving, we contacted Susanna to determine place and times to meet. She informed us that her guide was not available for either of our tours and accused us of not confirming with her. When I sent her the email in which we had confirmed with her weeks earlier, her response was to ask if we had other days we could tour. It was all ludicrous. She basically left us high and dry and offered no solutions. We would have had to change our entire week's agenda to accommodate a change in days for the tours. Unreliable, unprofessional and undependable. I wouldn't take the chance on booking with this group. We contacted Viator, whose staff helped us find replacement tours on just two days notice. They were easy to work with, very accommodating and the tours were GREAT!
shanecombs14/05/2018Great tour guide for American Travelers Susanna gave us a great tour of Florence while we were traveling with Story Land & Sea Tours. Susanna is a great tour guide for American travelers as she is local and knowledgeable, but she also speaks great English and is very easy to understand. Please reach out to her if you find yourself in Florence.
Paula S02/10/2017"Outstanding Tour in Florence" I arranged a private tour of Uffizi and Academia Gallery for my husband, 22 year old son and I. Susanna Buricchi was our delightful guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about art history. Her depth of knowledge and anecdotes made our tour so enjoyable.Susanna is easy and to be with, so very helpful, speaks English beautifully, and was a pure pleasure. I highly recommend Susanna and hope to see her again some day.
