Perfect First Day tour - Our guide Guilia provided wondeful details about the life and character of Michelangelo and the importance of his sculptures. The academia was the best part of the tour. The Duomo felt a little bit rushed, but it could be because we started late because we’re waiting for two people to join the tour. Please be considerate of other tour guests and arrive on time. Guilia patiently answered all questions and sparked good conversations about all aspects of Florentine living. This is a great tour for the beginning of your stay in Florence to get a good overview of the historic part of the city.

Perfect tour of Florence - The tour was great. We got plenty of time in the museum and we saw all of the main sights in Florence. We learned so much about the history of Florence and the artists who lived here. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable.

Absolutely worth it! - Greta was a fantastic tour guide! This tour is so worth it and I highly recommend doing it! Skipping all the lines is fantastic by itself but the addition of having such a knowledgeable guide made our tour so perfect!

Not worth the money! - Skipping the line for David and the info given was great by our tour guide who was very enthsiastic. However, I was under the impression, for this price, a climb to the stop of the Duomo was included. Never offered or explained .. and then we were out! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

It does not explain that... - It does not explain that if your tour falls on a Sunday and is before 1 pm, you will not be entering Domo and there is no access to the climb. This was the sole reason I booked this particular tour, I have experienced Domo with my husband years ago and was excited to see it through the eyes of my now older children. Complete disappointment to be told after the tour had started and there was no way to cancel. Left the tour early after 1 hour.
