Not a good experience
Mihaela_P, Jun 2023
The add sai 34/person we ended up paying 54/person. The agent was not very knowledgeable and confused us an mead us waste our time
Worst instructions ever
Maria_R, May 2023
We booked through Viator and nothing said the guides would be wearing Accord vests we tried everything to contact the guide as you see to find how to find them but no response. When we contacted the office finally they found our booking and sent someone to help however after 40 minutes of running between 2 of the sites to try and find them we were given the tickets. We showed them all our communication and tickets and NOTHING said we should look for any other organisation. We have booked many tours and this was the worst. We never met the guide and took ourselves through the monuments
Skip this tour company
Judy_D, May 2023
This was our worst experience on our trip. The guide was late, he did not have enough headsets for everyone, the headsets were staticky the whole time. He did not know how to do a guide and tell us things that were important. He rambled on and on about inconsequential things and then recited things that we could read ourselves on the plaques on the walls. I would not recommend this tour company. Everyone was so frustrated!
Great, recommended tour
Dafna_S, Jun 2022
Our tour guide was really excelent, in fact it was the best guided tour we had in Florence and Rome. She knew her subject matter very well, her explanations were thorough, and her enthusiasm was infectious. She encouraged everyone to ask questions. We would be happily go on another tour with her.

Dear D. thank you for your review. Your opinion is always very important. We are glad you enjoyed our tour and our guide 😊 We hope to see you in the future for new experiences! Kind regards Accord Team
Best Duomo Tour
Judy_O, Jul 2021
I learned more about the history of the Duomo on this tour than I thought possible. Our guide was an expert on the subject but made all her historical information interesting and left us eager to hear more. Perfect tour for families with older teens or anyone interested in the history of Florence and its’ Cathedral. My interest was captured while still in line outside the cathedral and only increased as we toured the inside and moved on to the museum. This tour is definitely one of my favorites.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Thank you so much for your review! We work hard to give our customers an unforgettable experience so we really apprecciate reading those words. We will share your comment with your guide and we hope to see you soon in Florence!
