Average tour—good for getting your bearings, but lacks depth.
We found this tour to be fairly average. We booked it specifically because it was advertised as a Medici tour focused on mysteries and history, but the guide didn't provide the depth of historical context we were looking for. Instead of diving into the rich stories of the Medici family, it felt a bit superficial. That being said, it might be a good option as a starting point in Florence just to get your bearings and learn the layout of the city. However, if you are looking for a deep historical perspective, you should definitely add other, more detailed tours to your itinerary.

Great walking tour about the Medici
Julia was a great guide. Knew the topic (Medici) well. Told some interesting facts. Very polished. Answered all of our questions. She provided a great walking tour. Also included information about issues related to the Medici - Florence, the Church, rivals, etc. glad she was the guide

A decent tour with an expert guide
The tour was interesting, the guide had extensive knowledge but my only observation is that the tour should have been focus less on florence and traditions and more on the medicis.

Terrible experience
The tour guide did not show up without a message. It was a no show and we were refused a refund. We list this activity and the money.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Our guide was present at the meeting point and waited for more than 10 minutes after the scheduled start time, even though there were other guests ready to begin the tour. We were also contacted by Viator to try to reschedule your tour for a different time, but unfortunately, you declined the offer.
As this was not a private booking, we are unable to delay the entire group beyond the waiting period. We truly regret that we couldn’t accommodate you on this occasion and hope to welcome you in the future under better circumstances.

Whatever …….
The Medici family is a topic so vast that requires a good chronological explanation to deliver the information in a way that foreigners can follow the topic. In some parts of the tour, we got lost trying to follow the explanation. We asked for an English native speaker but were not assigned one. For what I gather from other people’s opinions, this tour company needs to be more attentive to people’s requirements.

Dear Daphne,
we are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations, and we apologize for any difficulty in following the explanation of the vast and complex topic of the Medici family. We understand the importance of clear and engaging storytelling, especially on historical subjects rich in detail.
However, we would like to clarify that, as this is a group tour in Italy, we cannot guarantee the presence of a native English-speaking guide. Having guides who are fluent in multiple languages is a privilege that we value highly, but it is not something we can ensure in a group setting. For a native English-speaking guide, we recommend booking a private tour, where we can better accommodate specific requests.
We appreciate your feedback and are committed to continuously improving our service to offer an ever more satisfying experience.
Best regards,
My Green Tour

Very interesting history. Did the 3 pm English tour on July 4, 2024 (can't remember the guides name, buy he was excellent).
