We (group of 4) will be traveling to Rome May 4-10. We would like to hit the usual sites in Rome, with a couple of day trips to Florence for some sightseeing. Does anyone have any recommendations for an English-speaking tour guide(s) they would for Rome or Florence? TIA.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Before getting into guide recommendations, this?
We would like to hit the usual sites in Rome, with a couple of day
trips to Florence for some sightseeing.
IMHO, exploring Florence via a couple of separate day trips from Rome sort of eats precious sightseeing time in transport: twice TO Florence and twice FROM Florence. Could you stay over night instead?
Here are some previous recommendations for guides in Florence:
