Excellent guide. On time,...
Cathy_A, Oct 2022
Excellent guide. On time, professional and knowledgeable. Plus helped us get a reservation for lunch at a great restaurant.
Great experience
Jared L, Nov 2019
We got to skip a massive line and get a very intimate tour of the galleria where we saw the original David statue and heard stories about the other works in the building. After a brief break for lunch we then met up for a walking tour that was very interesting and informative, covering everything we wanted to know about Florence. Overall it was a great experience and a great way to see a lot of a beautiful city in a short period of time
Very pleasant & imformative

Having only a few hours in Florence while on a Mediterranean Cruise, we were very happy we booked this tour. Our guide, Alberto, was very pleasant & knowledgeable. By far, it was much better than us trying to figure out how to do it on our own.
Terrible Waste of Time and Money
Safal_P, Jul 2018
My family and I did this tour on June 24, 2018. For the price charged, this was a tremendous waste. I believe the issue was our guide who barely said anything (I don’t even think she said her name) about the museum or the town of Florence. We did not learn anything at all. This was more of a ‘follow the leader’ tour where all we did was walk around and follow her. I would like my money back (less museum admission fees). We did another Chianti wine tour with aviator which was much better and we learned more about Florence in that one and at the same cost! Do not purchase this tour!
Mala experiencia con el guía
Laura_G, May 2022
Guía sin conocimiento, sin capacidad de comunicación y sin guión predefinido. Nos fuimos antes de que finalizara porque no cumplió las expectativas
