the first time I went to Florence I took this tour and thought it gave a wonderful. guide to Florence. when I took my son back this year I booked this again as I knew it would show him things that he wouldn't see just walking around. Hilda was our guide and she was great to work with. I highly recommend her and this tour.
Amazing and very knowledgable guide
This was an excellent tour. Just seven of us with Ismael our guide and our headphones which was an excellent way to become acquainted with Florence. We did this trip on our first full day in Florence and really enjoyed it as Ismael provided some facts you will not find in a tour book. Would highly recommend this trip for all 'newbies' to Florence.
Great Tour. Fabulous guide, so knowledgeable.
If you are going to explore Florence, you really should do this to understand it better. It is best done on your first full day - it sets the scene so you understand the history of the place and why it is what it is. With a good guide giving you some insight, you notice more as you walk around during the rest of your stay. I have to say Riccardo was exceptional - born and bred in Florence he is telling you about his home town with a great level of knowledge.
