Thanks for another excellent tour, this is the fourth tour we have done with Bruno tours. Bianca was knowledgeable, and personable, and gave a great tour. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ilaria was really a fantastic guide - so knowledgeable and clearly a very experienced guide. We learned a lot from her. We highly recommend this tour. Our driver was really great too since it took two hours to get from our cruise port to Florence, we had lots of time to chat and learn about life in Italy.
