Going to see the statue of David Visiting Florence, although very crowded, we found ways through town and saw many sites within the city.

This excursion was wonderful! It was a combination driving / walking tour that provided us with a full day of experiencing Florence. Simon was our guide and his love for his city and knowledge of history made the tour that much more enjoyable. We booked this excursion independent of the cruise we were on. Simon was prompt at pick-up and returned us to the port in plenty of time to return to the ship. Highly recommend!

Great day! Tour company was very flexible. The driver, Enzo, changed our route so that we could see Pisa. The driver was also able to park the car VERY close to all the sites, which minimized our walking in the heat, if that is important to you. The guide was nice and very knowledgable. Be aware that you need to check the app for messages from the tour company as timing does change, as it did for several of our tours. Something to consider if you have limited connectivity on a cruise ship.

This was a great trip. Our guide Laura was great and she adjusted the tour based on the lines and the needs of the group. Was able to see a ton of Florence and was able to see David. We were also able to see PIsa as well and get back to the ship. Mateo our driver was fantastic!

Teresa, our driver, met us as we got off the cruise ship. She drove us to Florence where we met our guide who took us through the city of Florence. We skipped the line to the Accademia Gallery to see Michaelangelo's David and other great works of art. We strolled the streets of Florence stopping at various focal points of interest including Ponte Vecchio and the Duomo. After we ate lunch at a great outdoor cafe, then went to Pisa. We only stayed a brief time in Pisa due to getting back to the ship.

Teresa was superb! Since two of our tours were going to include Pisa, she coordinated a stop at a beautiful Tuscan winery for a tasting and light lunch. She also connected with a guide Lara in Florence who provided a very nice overview of Florence and tour of the Accademia/David. Beautiful day and strongly recommend!

<p>Excellent in every way! In spite of traveling to two different locations in one day, we still felt like we saw everything we could without ever feeling rushed. This is due to the tour design as well as our guide in Florence and our driver throughout the tour. The only disappointment was that given our timeframe, we were not able to climb the Tower of Pisa.</p>
