Vittorio_G, Sep 2023
This is a scam. They took my money and did not provide the service, then said I could get a refund and are now not giving it.
Ok
Sandy_K, Sep 2023
I loved everything we saw and our guide was very knowledgeable. However Everything felt rushed. Too many people and if we were at the end of the tour group static would interrupt the listening devise.
Great tour with delightful guide
Anne_O, Sep 2023
Touring the Accademia, seeing David and entering the Duomo with our guide, Angela, was a delightful experience. Angela was knowledgeable, feisty and hilarious. She had fascinating facts about all of the areas we visited, ending on the Ponte Vecchio. Highly recommended.
Great tour, would recommend!
Christine_A, Sep 2023
Our tour guide was so awesome! He was very knowledgeable, charming and easy to listen to. Compared to other tours this one seemed to go by the fastest because we did a lot in 3 hours!
Fantastic tour of David, Duomo & Piazza sella Signora
Cheryl_D, Sep 2023
The guide was fantastic providing excellent information at the Academy regarding the David and other art. We appreciated the highlights on our walks and the history of Florence and the Duomo. The information on the exterior and interior tour of the Duomo was good, including history of the baptistry great. Walked towards the Medici home/Uffizi and the Piazza Della Signoria. We learned more about the Medici family, the mothers move to Pitti Palace and the walkway construction which was great before the Uffizi tour where we leaned so much more. Grazie!! Cheryl and Jeff

Educational, insightful and enjoyable.
Karen_P, Sep 2023
Neno ( maybe) was a great host. Witty, intelligent, humorous but above all factual of historical events. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Other guests I found to be ignorant of the rules around dress code which I found annoying but did not diminish our overall enjoyment.
Best Way to visit the Accademia and Duomo
Christine_A, Sep 2023
The best 3 hours in Florence. Antonio is an expert with volumes of information. He was able to answer every question and ensured we had the best locations to see everything. Excellent afternoon!
Such a memorable walk
Poonam_S, Sep 2023
Amazing guide. Her stories and sense of humour made the long walk so interesting and memorable. Was great to jump all the long long queues.
Sara was great
Kara_N, Sep 2023
Our guide, Sara was very enthusiastic about her city and very knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions with a smile. She filled in a lot of blanks in our minds about how Florence came to be. It was a long tour, but it was so jampacked with interesting facts, and knowledge that the time flew by! Learning about not only David and its history, but the Medici and their history throughout the city was a bonus on top of the Duomo I highly recommend the tour for knowledge, but for walking around the city, and learning about its deep and beautiful history.
Really great Florence experience
Susan_K, Sep 2023
We were only in Florence for 2 full days so I would highly recommend this tour because it covers most of the main attractions. Helena, our guide was knowledgeable and engaging.
Excellent tour with Elena. Highly recommend

Stephanie our tour guide was awesome. She was incredibly knowledgeable and gave wonderful insights into what we were seeing. The tour group was a great size (about 12) which was really nice considering the enormous crowds and she made it a nice pace. We were extremely pleased we booked this tour.
Great tour guide, great experience!
Larry_H, Sep 2023
