The Perfect Introduction to Florence – Art, History & Heart! - This walking tour was the perfect way to experience the highlights of Florence in just a few hours. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, offering fascinating stories about the city's rich history, architecture, and art without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. The visit to the Accademia Gallery and seeing Michelangelo’s David up close was absolutely unforgettable. Our guide’s explanation of the sculpture’s significance and details made the experience even more powerful. We also got to explore iconic landmarks like the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, and Ponte Vecchio, all while learning about Florence’s role in the Renaissance and the Medici legacy. Highly recommended for first-time visitors or anyone who wants to go beyond just seeing the sights and truly understand Florence. A great balance of walking, history, and art!

Elia was a fantastic guide! - Had a great experience with Elia! Born and raised in Florence, he was a wealth of knowledge and information. It was the perfect three hours to spend with all the highlights of Florence. Left the afternoon for circling back and sightseeing beyond, and Elia gave us wonderful recommendations for gelato, cafés, shopping, and more!

Great walking tour of Florence - Short on time we chose a tour to get the most out of our stay in Florence. Viator made booking easy. The local tour guide was informative and provided excellent detail about what we were looking at.

Informative Tour - The tour was excellent and informative; our only issue was there was insufficient information to locate the meeting point as the square was full of people and the Tour Guy sign on his back was small so we ended up waiting at the Accademia entrance where their staff were very helpful.

Need better location information and help options - Local guides were very helpful and did their best to assist, but the app never worked for showing the pickup location, only the ending location. We messaged the day before, tried the help option and nothing worked. We arrived at the only address listed 30 minutes before the tour started and it was the complete wrong location. We missed the first half of the tour because of this.

Poor communication from local tour. - This local tour company changed its meeting location less than 24 hours before the tour in an unclear email. We missed the trip and they refused to refund the money.
