Easy 5 star tour with Lorenzo - We had a blast. Lorenzo is clearly both passionate and knowledgeable about the culture and cuisine of Tuscany. We enjoyed several stops on the tour, but the stop that most heartwarming for me was the one in his local neighbourhood. We saw what daily life was like for the children and adults, allowing us a glimpse into the beautiful non-tourist side of Florence culture. Also, I had the best Florentine steak of my life here, so that didn’t hurt !

Vatican tour - Great guide made the event educational by pointing out features that would have been left unknown
Skip the line is the fastest and best way to enter and transverse the facilities

This tour was a blast. - We had so much fun, good food, and wine. Our guide, Tony, was really personable and knowledgeable. It felt like a happy family hanging out together. Tony chose great spots for wine and food, including scrumptious gelato. The tour is on the “other” side of the Arno, where real people live - not tourists.

So, so - The guides were friendly and knowledgeable of the area. It seemed a little unorganized and unfortunately we only got to see wine windows, I guess ours was closed because we didn’t get that stop. They also only brought out one streak for five people (three men and two women) and a small bowl of potatoes. Seems like we didn’t get the full value we should have. We weren’t fans of that side of the city either, it seemed dirty compared to the rest of the area on that side of the river.
