Excellent tour guide, explained the overall Architectural styles and meanings of some paintings very well. It was very informative and educational. I would highly recommend as a store, especially for families with young teen's
Our guide was very knowledgeable. I learned more about art in 2 hrs than I ever had before. It was just my husband and me, so it was tailored just to us.
Guide called and cancelled while we were on our way to museum. Viator is still trying to reach tour guide to confirm refund. Will call CC company to dispute charge upon return unless we here from Viator.
Hi William, the refund from my side has already been made. Unfortunately, there will be some technical delays in receiving it, but they are not within my control. As for the cancellation, it was not my decision as there was an unexpected strike by the Uffizi staff on the day of the booking, which caused difficulties for us as well. I'm sorry anyway.
