My husband and I had a great experience on our walking tour of Florence with Walks Devour Tours. We had a small tour group with about 10 people, which is a good size, so everyone can easily see and hear the tour guide. We were also provided with listening devices, so we can easily follow along with what the tour guide said, even if we weren’t standing right next to the tour guide. Our guide Marzia A. is an excellent tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Florence and about the famous artworks and artists in the Gallerie dell’ Accademia and Uffizzi Gallerie (two must-see museums). Her English is fluent enough for everyone to understand what she was saying. She managed the tour at a good pace and she made sure everyone in the tour group stayed together, even when certain places were very crowded. About halfway through the tour, Marzia took us to a small local gelato shop (Carabe Firenze) for some authentic gelato and fresh made-to-order cannoli. That was a special treat after walking around town on a warm day in October. I highly recommend Walks Devour Tours and tour guide Marzia A if you’re looking for a great half day tour experience in Florence, Italy.

This was a very insightful walking tour of the city of Florence. It touched on the highlights of the art in the museums so we could learn a lot without having to guess which pieces were significant as there is a TON of art and navigating it alone would have been tough. Our guide was so friendly and helpful!
