Great experience with very knowledgeable Ivan

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide Ivan was very knowledgeable and passionate about Florence. He took his time showing us the museum and also offered to take pictures. He was very funny too and really engaging. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a deeper insight of the palazzo vecchio.

History behind the Palazzo Vecchio

Published on Jan, 2025

It was a wonderful experience!Ivan,”the Terrible “( as he called himself),was our tour guide.He was simply wonderful,spectacular! He gave us so much history of the Palazzo Vechio,without losing the details behind the reality of Florence(including the gossips) from his perspective as a historian.My daughter and I loved it!Thank you Ivan for transporting us to past centuries.For being so humor,jovial and for teaching us so much!
