City Wonders was wonderful
Annette was so knowledgeable and really brought Florence to life for us!

A great way to see a beautiful work of art and enjoy the history of Florence!
We had a great time with Giovanna! During this tour she was incredibly conscientious, making sure we had time to stop in the shade and sit down where possible. She gave us a great amount of detail about the history of Florence, as well as an idea of how Florence is during the current times. The walking tour was brilliant and gave us time to understand more about the local artwork too. Then, seeing and understanding how David was made really was a fabulous experience. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to learn about key historical landmarks and understand the history behind David's sculpture. Thank you for making this an unforgettable tour Giovanna!
