Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. We learned a lot and enjoyed it immensely. Individual pieces of art were discussed as well as how the church was woven into the fabric of historic Florence.
We were very happy for doing this tour. We did not know a lot about Santa Novella church before the tour, just that is had been important as the Pope residence during a time, and for housing one of the oldest pharmacies in the world. The tour was excellent, with a guide, Andrea, that is really an expert. We leart a lot. Capilla Tournaboni is amazing, and Spanish influence is clearly shown in other parts of the complex. The pharmacy today is a nice shop. We strongly recommend this tour.
