That it encompasses the most important things you need to see in Florence in a few hours. You could spend days going through the whole Academia and Uffizi gallery, which Giuliana did wonderfully for us. We were lucky to have her be our guide.

Chiara was amazing!! She was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job at keeping the tour to schedule but also made sure we has adequate free time to roam and answered all our questions.

We had a great tour guide that was very knowledgeable. She provided insight and a lot of information about everything we saw on the tour. Being able to skip the line at the Academe and the Uffizi was well worth the cost. It is a lot of time on your feet but you do get an hour lunch break. I would have liked more time with our guide in the Uffiziz but overall the experience was a highlight of our trip.

Such an informative tour. The small group tour is definitely worth it.. Be prepared for a full day of walking and learning. There was a perfectly timed break in the middle too.
