Very enjoyable and educational

Excellent art history class, if you're interested in the art of Florence and the history of the different families. Very informative! Amazing explanations that brought to life many details that we would have missed or not understood the significance of without the tour.

Appreciated a lot the personality of our guide (Omar), his affection for his city and his ability to showcase little known historical gems that dot the landscape of this incomparable city. If you're a history buff, take the tour, you will not regret it!
