Our guide Ivan was humorous, informative and didn’t rush thru any of the exhibits. He patiently answered any questions we had. It was a small group on the tour with just 4 people which was great.

Excellent guide, perfectly organised, knowledgeable and welcoming. Not so many people at 9 am. Good point to start doscovering Florence.

We loved this tour. After a long day of touring we were skeptical. But our guide, Ivan, made it extremely enjoyable.
Deborah_S
We had a great guide who took us through at a good steady pace, giving us enough information but not overloading us, very balanced; plus left time for us to take pictures and take in the ceiling paintings and the pictures, etc. Definitely recommend this.
Ruth_K
Very knowledgeable Guide, very good value for money, we got to see a lot. Mindy there was so much to see I wouldn’t of minded if the tour had started at 1 pm as always plenty of things that we could’ve seen afterwards.

If you want to know a bit about the Medici family this is for you. The frescos are beautiful and the room of maps was very surprising

I booked a reservation well in advance. A few days before, they sent me an email "Dear guest,
Many thanks for your reservation of Florence: Palazzo Vecchio Guided Tour.. Unfortunately, the minimum number of participants has not been reached."
They asked that I either pay more ($100+ for a private tour) or choose a later date (when I'm already out of town). I spent hours planning this trip so it is extremely annoying to have it canceled at the last minute. However, I understand that they have to make money and don't want to do a tour if there are not enough guests so I told them to just cancel the tour. I ended up visiting the site myself.
Not only did they not cancel the tour, they are fighting my request for a refund from their own cancellation! This is crazy and feels like a scam.
