Italian Art History for Beginners was a Hit!
The tour with Anastasia is wonderful - even for a group who doesn't know its art very well! Or should I say, especially for that type of group! The 7 of us enjoyed the Accademia and Cathedral Museum - both its history and art highlights. The Dome climb was the highlighted extra challenge. Anastasia injected her passion about Florence history and artistry that made the tour fun and more like infotainment.
Operator response
Dear Paula,
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that Anastasia was able to make the tour engaging and enjoyable, even for a group new to art. Her passion for Florence’s history and artistry truly shines, and we're glad it added that extra layer of "infotainment" to your experience. It sounds like you all had a memorable time exploring the Accademia, Cathedral Museum, and conquering the Dome climb! We hope to welcome you and your group on another adventure soon.
Warm regards,
Walks in town
