Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. We learned a lot and enjoyed it immensely. Individual pieces of art were discussed as well as how the church was woven into the fabric of historic Florence.

Gina_D

Our guide was very knowledgeable about Santa Maria Novella and pleasant to spend two hours with! Lots to see at this church.

Doug_K

The church and grounds are beautiful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided historical background. Given her accent, it was hard to capture everything and we'd have been better served with earphones.

Scott_B

Lucia was very knowledgeable and helpful. She helped us in many ways get more out of our trip. The Church was beautiful.
