Well explained your of the church and people buried there. If you like history, this is the tour for you.
It was a very comprehensive tour of Santa Croce. Our guide, Annette, was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions We would highly recommend her!
Emanuel was an incredible guide! Tons of knowledge delivered in bite sized chunks at just the right time. She tied things together really well and made sure we understood how everything fit together. We came out of there really feeling like we learned a lot! Highly recommend.
So informative. We missed this church the last time we were in Italy, so this trip it was our top priority. Michelangelo and Galleria are buried inside. There was a lot more to see than i thought. Our guide was excellent.
Our guide (Annette) is as very friendly and informative. We learned a great deal about Florence history and art. The tour was about one and a half hours. It was a perfect amount of time to spend in the church of Santa Croce.
Very educational and hit all the highlights! Annette was a great knowledgeable guide! I would highly recommend this tour!
