A highlight of our Florence trip!

A highlight of our entire trip. Jessica really brought Renaissance history to life for us - the context she provided for the art, buildings and landmarks we saw deepened our understanding and appreciation enormously. Knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate, she provided a wonderful introduction to Florence. My husband and I both agreed it was one of the best things we did on our trip. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

Cancelled

If I could give 0 stars I would! Tour got canceled last minute by email that I almost did not see because of WiFi.

Operator response

Dear Nicole,, We are very sorry to hear about your disappointment. As soon as we became aware that the minimum number of participants required for the group tour had not been reached, we contacted you by email. In the same correspondence, we offered alternative solutions, including rescheduling the tour or upgrading to a private experience. Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for internet connectivity issues or for messages not being seen after they have been sent. While cancellations are always regrettable, group tours occasionally cannot operate when the required minimum number of participants is not met. We sincerely regret that you were unable to see our communication in time and that the alternatives we proposed could not be arranged. We always do our utmost to assist our guests and find the most suitable solution in such circumstances.

Outstanding Experience with Amazing Guide

Brian is an outstanding guide. Smart, energetic and well-spoken, Brian led a beautiful walk around Florence. He was good to answer our questions. He also pointed out some of his favorite local eateries and shared insight into buying from the outdoor markets. His tour provided the perfect overview of Florence, and the Accademia to see David.

Highly recommend!

Brian was an excellent guide and this tour was the perfect length of time to see many of the highlights of Florence!! Great combination of history, culture as well as recommendations for shopping and other places to visit in the City. The skip the line to see the Davis was well worth this ticket, especially with the record breaking heat! Would highly recommend this tour - our groups of 5 including two teenagers loved it!
