Excellent tour
Doug_B, Sep 2023
Learned a lot about the history of Florence via the Medici Chapel and the Medici Palace. Our guide (can’t remember her name) was very good and as we had seen a few places already she adjusted the tour and it worked out great.
Best introduction to Florence and its main spots

The tour was excellent, interesting stories from history linked to the tour around the city and its main spots. We have left enriched with a lots of history and valuable tips for places to visit in more detail. Highly recommended
Great way to start our visit to Florence

Martina was so great. We took this tour our first morning in Florence. It gave us a great introduction to the city for the rest of our stay. Martina was so knowledgeable about the city, it’s history and art. She was also very fun and energetic which made the tour really great. Martina also gave us great recommendations for restaurants and gelatarias. Highly recommend Martina and this tour
Close-up look at Florence history through architecture.

We loved how our guide shared details about his city that we never would have noticed on our own! A very in-depth look at an incredible city.
Top notch private tour

Zeynep was so professional and explicit with her dialogue explaining everything so beautifully. Took us to certain places that she would think we would love (which we did) so beautiful.
What a great tour!

Our guide Martina was amazing! We made a slight adjustment in our pickup time due to the late booking. We were picked up at the hotel and she was there a few minutes early. From there we discussed what we wanted to get out of the day and what was important to us. Martina provided options on what we should do and we followed her recommendations. We took a stroll in front of the Duomo, and to the Baptistery of Saint John. Martina gave us plenty of fun information on both. From there we headed through some of the more reclusive streets in Florence where she detailed fun information about the history of the city, including my favorite, Dante. We grabbed some gelato and headed to a few more sites ended the tour at the river. We made a few impromptu stops along the way. Very much worth it, very flexible guide, it was a wonderful day. I would highly recommend. Thanks!
Amazing tour with enthusiast guide

We couldn't expect more to discover this beautiful city than to having such a lovely and knowledgeably guide. We highly recommand it !
No Waiting In Line!

You go to a special entrance area. You don’t wait in the terribly long lines and waste time. The tours in Europe that you purchase through Viator are worth it.
Highly Recommend
