This is a great option in Florence if you have about 2 hours and 30 minutes of time you want to spend learning about tons of important and valuable Tuscan and Italian history, while also burning 500 calories while walking in the blazing hot Italian sun. Our tour guide, Jessica, was very knowledgable in the history of Florence. Her stories were entertaining and loaded with information. She also recommended local restaurants and Florentine classics. She also warned us and gave details about pickpockets. Very interesting experience and I highly recommend.
The number in the tour was about right at 14. Brian was very knowledgeable and keen to answer questions. He offered lots of suggestions and things to avoid when asked about shopping and eating out too. A great introduction to the key sites on our first day. Would recommend.
