This experience was so jaw dropping!! The architectural beauty and the amazing frescoes were so beautiful!! Our tour guide was so patient and friendly. He gave us great insight into the history and architecture!
Honestly, the best guide we've ever had. Perfect english, really clear and well spoken, very funny, but a wealth of knowledge that was really great to learn some of. They get you in first - before anyone else, and you get a rare opportunity to get photos without anyone else there. Dont miss it if youre in Florence. Very informative, entertaining and enjoyable (even if youre not religious). Highly highly recommended.
This was an excellent tour! Our guide, Claudio, was extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend booking.
We had an excellent tour guide. The company consisted of the father, who handled the administrative details, and his son, who conducted the tour in perfect, understandable English.
This was a great tour! The guild was very knowledgeable. Skipping the line was an added bonus since our time there was limited.
Easy to find in location. Had Bags with name visible. Tour was great- group was small= whispers were used so you could hear. Tour was very quick entry, and we left after the David as it had already been a long day for us. Tour was perfect- would highly recommend to friends to do.
Really informative and identified things I’d have never noticed on my own. Unique insights and historical facts.
If you wish to understand more than just walking in and viewing this amazing building you need to have a guide and Claudia who we had yesterday was passionate and enthusiastic. I can’t recommend him highly enough . It bought the building to life it’s history the art work . Thank you 🤗
Bring a fan, it gets hot. Our guide was amazing, he was very knowledgeable and made the experience wonderful. We were a little late due to our train being late and they were so friendly and accommodating. This father and son team was amazing.
The guide was great. It made it a memorable experience, including for the kids. Definitely recommend it.
