Highly Recommended

The tour was very informative, our tour guide Vittoria was very friendly and professional. There were a few others in the group that were a bit difficult, but she made sure that our experience wasn't effected by them. Vittoria was very informative and was happy to answer any questions we had. We're a family visiting from Australia and would recommend this to all our friends

Excellent day trio to Florence

We had an excellent day trip to Florence with Max as our driver/guide. It was a private tour and he picked us up at our door. Besides taking us to all the major churches and buildings, Max constantly pointed out the symbols and designs that were important to understanding the city and the Medici family. He did a wonderful job of conveying the sense of the times when these buildings were constructed. It is a full day tour with 6 hours in a car (a lot better than a bus) but well worth it.
