Florence Walking Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

We enjoyed the tour very much and our tour guide, Guido, was very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable !

David was magnificent!

Published on Nov, 2024

David was magnificent! Great tour with a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. There was a marathon going on at the same time, but our tour guide was efficient and knew the short-cuts, and the tour operator was communicative to us about these changes. Thank you!

Fascinating tour with very knowledgeable guide

Published on Oct, 2024

Great couple of hours. Negotiating the streets of Florence and ending with skip the line tickets for the Academia to see Michelangelo’s David. Knowledge and interesting guide with just a small group makes for a real treat.

It was great

Great tour.

Excellent walking tour of Florence taking in David and Accademia Gallery. Our guide was knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of the city. He kept the tour going at a good pace but still allowed plenty of time to view the many wonderful works of art.
