Our guide Aurora was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and encouraged questions with a friendly attitude

Giuilo was our tour guide. Because this was later in October, we were the only two people on this tour. Giulio adjusted the pace of the tour slightly to fit our pace and tendency to wander off course taking photos. He took his time showing us around the major attractions in Florence, making sure we watched our step with curbs and traffic while explaining the history of Florence. He patiently answered all of our questions and made suggestions for what to see in our extra days in Florence. This was an excellent tour to begin our vacation in Florence. Would highly recommend this tour.

Julio did a great job of teaching us about Florence on our first day. This was an excellent way to become familiar with Florence!

This is a must do for the first time traveler to Florence. Our guide went over historical facts about the Medici Family, Dante, Machiavelli and the statue of David. It goes beyond the great shopping and dining.
