Good overview and context of city sights helped us understand our sightseeing adventures. Sometimes hard to hear and could have used a mic, but generally a pleasant and helpful experience in Florence. Some helpful recs on eating as well!

Excellent way to spend a couple of hours in Florence and learn more about the city. Camilla brought the city and its history to life. My daughter loved exploring the churches and the perfume shop!

Samona gave us a very interesting and informative tour of Florence, talking about its Roman and mediaeval past, and pointing out lots of hidden points of interest as we walked around the town. The group was nice and small, which was an additional bonus, as we were all able to get to know each other, unlike on walking tours with larger groups of people. I really enjoyed it!

Samona was very amiable, clear, confident and thorough. We enjoyed it very much and learned a lot as well . Since she is a local person she gave us many tips that only a true Florentine would know

Really nice tour, very clear and informative story. A good balance between history, fun facts and local recommendations, including a local surprise.. The tour showed a different side of Florence, while still seeing most highlights. And not as many people as on some of the other tours. Would highly recommend it!
