This great walking tour really was the highlights of Florence. Our guide, Sara, was knowledgeable and friendly, guiding us from the Accademia to the Duomo and onto Ponto Vecchio. We never felt rushed and Sara provided expert commentary along the way.

Jada made our tour wonderful. She was incredibly engaged and informative during our entire experience. Well worth it to skip the line, and even more value with all the context provided. This is one of very few options with multiple sights bundled together.
