Don’t waste your time or money
Lisa_C, Jun 2023
We are frequent travelers, and tour takers. This might be the worst tour I’ve ever been on. I have never walked out on a tour halfway through, but it was a relief to do so with this one. I can’t believe they didn’t offer everybody their money back. We showed up 15 minutes early as requested for a 3 PM tour of Boboli gardens, some guests for a late, so they waited, and did not start the tour until, around 315. The guy had a very thick accent, which is normally not an issue for me. But he walked several paces in front of the group of around 15 people and had his back turned to us the entire time so it wasn’t like we could read his expressions or his lips to see what he was saying. And he didn’t turn around to check on anyone. It was like he was on autopilot and we weren’t even there. It was a hot day at the beginning of the tour was quite a bit of uphill climbing. We discovered on the way up that our headsets were not working very well. Near the top, we brought this to the guide’s attention, and some other people from the group chimed in and said they’re having the same problem. The Guide made a few attempts at changing his input, and then just sort of gave up. There was also someone from the Tour company taking photos. Neither of them offered a great remedy or anybody’s money back for a tour that basically didn’t happen. About halfway through, we were up in the flower garden, and everybody ins the group was so frustrated they all decided to just call it quits. The guide just collected everyone’s headsets and goodbye. It was bizarre. They should really offer a refund
Beautiful gardens and beautiful views!

It was a hot and humid day, but our guide still made it a wonderful experience! We took the gardens slowly and rested when needed. We never felt hurried. Our guide was so knowledgeable and absolutely loved the gardens and made sure we saw all of his favorite spots and the most beautiful views!
Francesca made Boboli magical

Francesca was so knowledgeable and friendly. We and the kids appreciated her passion for sharing the history of Boboli.
Tour guide no show
Barry_D, May 2022
Tour guide didn’t show up. No one answered the phone when I tried to understand what was happening with the no show. Requesting a refund and disputing the charge on my card.
Response from Host, May 2022
Thank you for your review. On the 1st of May, Florence all Museum free of Change. Therefore, on the 26th of April, we informed the client that the tour should be amended the booking or cancelled and get a full refund. Also, voice MSG for the client. But no answer. Therefore 30 April, we cancelled the booking and sent a full refund through the Viator dashboard. As a tour company, we always send MSG through the Viator dashboard. Therefore please check your emails daily and answer the call when you are in another destination. For that reason, the tour operator asked contact details of the clients. Any urgent matter can reach easily.
Très belle visite.

Notre guide connaissait très bien l'histoire de Boboli avec tout ce qui entourait le leg de ce chateau d'une famille à une autre par obligation. Le guide connaissait aussi l'histoire de la dernière résidente sur les lieu qui vit encore là. Je recommande cette visite. Belle visite avec beaucoup d'oeuvre encore sur place grace à la condition de l'entente du leg.
