Perfect tour of Firenze
Anna
, Nov 2020
Thanks for a great experience! My guide Francesca was interesting, committet and brought the history of Firenze to life. It was clear that Francesca had a love for her town and town history. It was wonderful to walk around with someone who is as committed as Francesca. Thanks for the tips for good restaurants and for the tasty gelato :) Finally, thanks for not cancel the trip, even though I was the only participant.

Amazing Tour that did NOT cancel!
Elizabeth_T

With all the COVID-19 travel restrictions, it is very difficult to find a tour that will not cancel on you. I booked 3 on my trip to Florence and 2 canceled on me, but not this one! I was so happy that this company did NOT cancel on me even though I ended up as the only person on the tour, and it was a wonderful experience! My guide was very knowledgeable and shared all the conspiracy theories of the Medici with me! It was a great and personal experience! She even went out of the way to show me where I can buy quality souvenirs I was looking for and where to eat! Definitely recommend!

Maria was simply magnificent. She gave me history, artistic techniques and general information about the city. Pace perfect and her delivery excellent. This is the best tour I have experienced in Europe. Gelato to celebrate it's founder at the end was very welcome. Glad I took this tour on arrival. Thanks Maria!
