Loved the trip but was disappointed that the itinerary varied from what was advertised. Missed seeing the Gardens.
All stops were appreciated and well addressed by our guide, Rita. However, we were disappointed that itinerary did not include Goboli Gardens, as advertised.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback, and we're glad you enjoyed the trip and Rita's guidance. We understand your concern about the Boboli Gardens. However, we want to clarify that the itinerary mentions the Gardens as a "pass-by" location rather than an included stop. We appreciate your understanding and will review the description to ensure it's as clear as possible for future travelers.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another tour where we can continue to provide memorable experiences.

A complete and expensive fraud
It was a fraud. No mention of Dan Brown at all, just a march around the city. Have complained and required a refund, but as yet no answer. If they don t, last time I or my acquantances ever use Viator. Have chosen one star because does not allow me to choose 0
Operator response
We regret to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We are surprised by your comment that there was no mention of Dan Brown, as your guide is a true aficionado with verified knowledge about the book and its connections to the city.
We also regret learning about your discontent through a review rather than having the opportunity to address your concerns directly. In the future, we encourage you to contact us first so we can resolve any issues promptly and ensure a better experience for you.

Tour not really what it says in the title
Sorry but we really didn't enjoy the tour. I understand that the entire tour can't be set aroud the book but it was only mentioned about 4 times during the tour. We couldn't hear the guide half the time as he was walking ahead of us and not really engaging us in conversation. There were only two of us on the tour and it was last minute so I was advised that it might be cancelled, in hindsight I wish that it was as it was a waste of 1.5 hrs. I would rename the tour or take it off sale as its not really what it says it is. All in all - disappointing, sorry.
Operator response

Great tour
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. We were the only two people on the tour which was great. He not only explained things from Inferno novel/film but also other significant parts of the history of Florence and the Medici family.

Inferno
Mattia was full of history and knowledge. Very informative. Saw a lot of sights, but he needs to remember to relate them all to the story. We did have to keep asking how things were related to the Inferno, the point of our tour.
Operator response

We hope that in the future you can discover another city with LocalBini as your travel partner!

Surprised
I have recently revisited Florence after a couple of years and found this tour online. At first I was skeptical as I did not know what to expect from it due to not having any reviews but I decided to risk it and purchased it. We were met by Mattia who then lead us on this lovely thematic tour. We enjoyed it really much and thank Mattia for his hospitality.
