Very good overview of Florence, its history, and Michelangelo's developmental years in Florence. Our Guide Christina was really knowledgeable and enthustiastic even though I'm sure she gave this tour a hundred times and the streets were hot and crowded. So glad we booked this tour!

A Must!

I think this was my favorite tour of our trip. It was our first time in Florence, and Caterina was absolutely wonderful! She gave us lots of info and tips, and showed us her personal recommendations for food and shopping. I’d do this again, totally.
