Hector was a hoot, and a tremendous host. Very well informed and provided a lively, brief precis on fresco, helpful crit and thoughtful guidance on the work. He was enormously generous with his time and space. We had an unforgettable experience, and enjoyed the banter and more low-key, more vernacular experience of the left bank of the Arno.

Hector was amazing! We had a great time; he was extremely knowledgable, personable, encouraging, passionate, and fun! It was a genuine Florentine experience we never would have been able to have without him and Context. It was memorable, educational, and LOADS of fun. The only thing that was surprising thing was in the booking: we couldn't find this experience on the website! My friend had recommended this experience specifically, but I couldn't find it anywhere when searching the available tours. When I emailed Context about it specifically, I was quickly sent a link so that we could register, but I am wondering why I couldn't find it myself. I guess my feedback is that it was such a great experience, I wish it were easier to find on the site!

Hector is a delightful, knowledgeable and gentle man. Isabelle still remembers him, and he remembered her and even what her fresco was, and Charlotte enjoyed him as well. That is one of the best "hands on" experiences you offer, in my opinion.And the learning experience about fresco painting is authentic and enjoyable. Perfect for a post-overseas flight first afternoon.
