Great way to see all the key highlights with an excellent guide. Annette was outstanding. There’s so much to see it would otherwise be overwhelming.

This was a fantastic tour! We did it on our first full day of the city so we had a good understanding of Florence for the remainder of our trip. The tour moved at a great pace and Giada was very welcoming and passionate. We appreciated that the museums focused on highlights while making sure that we didn’t miss anything of importance. Would highly recommend this tour!

Florence is extremely crowded. We were happy to have minimal waits and the knowledge of Brenda. She obviously loves Florence and art history.

A great way to get a snapshot of the main things to see in Florence. Valentina was knowledgeable & kept us on our toes, asking us what we knew of what we saw. We didn’t go to the leather market or see il porchellino, but happy with what we did see.
