It was a wonderful tour! Annette was extremely knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the tour. We highly recommend Annette for the tour of the Duomo.
Annette was extremely knowledgeable, very personable, and passionate about Florence and its history! Had a terrific time on the tour, learned so much and spent just the right amount of time at each piece in the museum. Would recommend highly!
Annette M, was our family tour guide. She was very professional and had in-depth knowledge of the duomo, the museum, the artwork by the maestros of renaissance era, the city of Florence and its history. She highlighted Donatello, Michelangelo, DaVinci, Galileo, Vasari and many others. She kept it engaging and gave us ample opportunities to ask questions, this gave us good context about how and what to look at the artwork, and what must be going on in the artist/ sculptors head. She also provided nuances about navigating our visit to Florence. We explored many museums and archeology sites during our Italy visit, and had several different tour guides, but Annette was the best of them all. Highly recommended. Thanks Annette for educating my children as well.
Giacomo was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Florence and the cathedral. He went into great detail about the architecture, works of art, and artists involved with this incredible building
Annette was a wealth of knowledge!! She truly brought our experience to life with history of art, religion, architecture, etc. the accolades go on and on! I highly recommend!!!
My experience with Babylon Tours in Florence was nothing short of enchanting! Our guide, Annette Morkholt, was thoroughly engaging, blending charisma with fascinating stories that brought the city's rich history to life. Her passion for art and the hidden gems of Florence made every moment feel special. This tour is a must for anyone wanting to truly connect with Florence!
Ilaria was our tour guide and she was amazing! She has so much knowledge, we learned so much about the history of the Duomo and art history. She also made the experience very fun and she was quite funny! We loved how she not only gave us the historical and biblical meaning of the displays, which she described in such detail, but also explained the societal and political events occurring at the time. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful tour! Our first day in Florence, Larissa provided us lots of information and history of Florence, the Renaissance, and the Duomo. Great time - we would recommend this for any family who wants a personalized experience.
Laura was an excellent guide. Full of facts that I would never had known wandering around ourselves. The climb to the top of the Duomo is breath-taking and them the view is breathtaking too! Well worth the money Thank you!
We quized Giacomo on all aspects of Florentine art, culture and history and we never stumped him. Very enthusiastic about his home city and it’s history. We were fortunate to have him as our guide.
