What people are saying about Florence

The short version: I absolutely recommend both these tours to anyone over the age of 12 and truly hope you get our professional and very personable guides - Riccardo and Leonardo! The tour itself is very well planned and executed but they made it unforgettable with anecdotes and relevant comparisons to today's world so even beginning art and/or poli-sci lovers could enjoy and understand. Ricardo and Leonardo's English was fluent, comprehensive and a pleasure to listen to - and I say that as an English teacher (EFL)! Though our group was lovely and small, it is certainly worth paying for "skipping the line" because THERE ARE LINES. Even in February. I hope to return again with my family - yes, to the same tour.

This is a tour that absolutely delivered, showcasing the highlights of the Uffizzi and downtown Florence, while delivering the David rather quickly once entering the Academy. My partner and I aren’t art lovers, but loved the experience thanks, in large part, to our guide Leonardo. We highly recommend this tour—just make sure you also see the Duomo on your own time.

Everything perfect! exactly as described. Beautiful building, great guide and the piece of mind of having it all booked in advance. Easy to find and easy to buy. I really enjoyed it and I would repeat again. Really recomend it!

it was so nice to see the hidden spaces.... a massive thank you to our guide Giulia who made it a very special event for us.

So worth the extra money to avoid those lines!! Meeting point was also really easy to find.
