- andyk6700 contributionsGreat tour of Florence.Our tour guide Brian was fantastic! So much information on the history, cluture and art of Florence. Highly recommend this tour!Written November 30, 2024
- K7006AKpauld0 contributionsFrancesca is one of the best guides in the business! Highly recommend scheduling a tour with her.Francesca Messina did an excellent job as our guide. She was knowledgeable, professional and engaging. I highly recommend this tour.Written October 13, 2024
- MilesTedder0 contributionsWorth the TimeEven though we visited at the end of September Saint Mark Square, The Doge’s Palace and Saint Mark’s Basilica were all very crowded. Our skip the line access was excellent, but still a very crowded experience. The beauty of Saint Marks Basilica cannot be described in photos. It is best experienced in person.Written September 30, 2024
- Denise R0 contributionsGreat Value ExperienceWe had an amazing experience doing this tour with Brian. He met us at our hotel, and as a bonus we learned the history of the Ponte Vecchio as we crossed it to walk to Pitti Palace. Given the size and scope of the Palace and the “museums” within it, it was certainly a benefit to have a guide to understand the families who had owned it and their acquisition of so much art and artefacts. The walls and ceilings are a virtual feast for the senses. Would certainly recommend the tour, and you may be lucky enough to go with Brian, whose wonderful manner and storytelling ability made it an unforgettable experienceWritten September 26, 2024
- 758marissaa0 contributionsGreat!Brian was great, so much information, would love to learn more from him. Very easy to understand. I loved that it wasn’t too long, like some other tours, points were close by.Written September 10, 2024
- larissavM5387MO0 contributionsGreat guide and overall great tour!Our guide, Brian, was amazing! He was friendly, punctual, knowledgeable, open to all questions, and overall a delight! We were lucky enough to be in a small group of only 3 of us for the tour. He would point out shops, restaurants, gelaterias, and more along the way. He would let us stop to take a picture of these locations to come back to later. He also gave us lots of great advice on how to pick out real leather, how to keep safe from pickpockets, and how to pick out the tourist traps vs the good spots that locals go to. As well, Brian’s knowledge of art history and Florence history was outstanding. We learned a lot. I am so glad we did this tour especially on our first day of Florence - it gave us a lot to go back to and enjoy for the next few days! Highly recommend!Written September 6, 2024

- benochan0 contributionsFirst time in Florence.Brenda our guide is very knowledgeable and told us all the history for Florence. She took us to all the "must see" spots and of course took us to see "David" with "skip-the-line" service. We enjoyed this walking tour and would recommend it if it's your first time in Florence.Written August 24, 2024

- O4163ZEvickis0 contributionsA truly memorable experienceThis tour was really fantastic! Our tour guide, Brian, did a great job of explaining the history of Florence through the sights and art we saw. He also helped all of us appreciate Michelangelo’s David more than we had before. A truly memorable experience!Written July 30, 2024

- johncP4799CE0 contributionsThis is a Very Enjoyable TourThis is a great option in Florence if you have about 2 hours and 30 minutes of time you want to spend learning about tons of important and valuable Tuscan and Italian history, while also burning 500 calories while walking in the blazing hot Italian sun. Our tour guide, Jessica, was very knowledgable in the history of Florence. Her stories were entertaining and loaded with information. She also recommended local restaurants and Florentine classics. She also warned us and gave details about pickpockets. Very interesting experience and I highly recommend.Written July 10, 2024

Christina was an excellent guide with the tour providing exceptional tasting experiences of truffles, olive oil, sweet treats, pasta and various wines included. The historic venues were an amazing discovery we would never have found if not on the tour. Would definitely recommend.

It is too bad the highest rating we can give is a five. Our tour guide, Brian deserves so much more. My husband and I have traveled extensively and taken many tours. Brian is among the “best ever!” What a wonderful morning! Highly recommend this tour with Brian.
