A great intro to Florence. It was just the right length. Even my teenagers loved it. Francesco was one of the best guides I have had.

ggammon2000

Very personable tour guide with a small group setting (3 couples). All details (meeting point, tour activities, etc.) as described in tour description. We actually saw many of the sites on our own (Uffizi, Statue of David, etc.) on our own prior to the tour, and this was a great way to tie it all together. Thanks!

Meg_G

Our guide was lovely but the tour felt lacking unfortunately. I don’t think it was worth it. We walked to a few sites but found we discovered more on our own.

Elisabeth_W

Great tour for the price - was a wonderful introduction to the city and a beginner guide to Florence and the significance of the Duomo and other key spots. Loved her suggestions for museums to visit and general advice about where to go for groceries, how to know if it's real gelato, gift ideas, etc

Hanus_J

Didn't hear 80% of the information from tour guide, because of bad microphone/speaker. I'd like to receive a refund.

Silvina_C

Good experience for 1hour tour. I recommend it. Tip: if it’s summer, 5pm it’s a good choice:) otherwise prepare yourself :)

Jenny_C

Our guide was great. Very informative. We could hear her clearly. She covered all the famous places and monuments. It was just very hot even 5p-7p which turns out is the hottest part of the day in Florence! No gelato as described though.
