Rich details to will help visitors appreciate what the will see around them on a visit to Florence. - Manuel painted a vivid picture of the history that the city’s architecture reveals, including many useful insights into the rise of the Medicis, the significance of the Black Death, and the like. This was an excellent introduction to the center of Florence.

Beyond the obvious tourist attractions... - Strongly recommend - Manuel was an amazing guide and extremely insightful as well as entertaining. So much history far beyond the tourist areas, as well as the story behind Pitti Palace - home of today's Pitti Uomo The wireless earbuds were a game changer in being able to hear our guide throughout the nearly two hour tour.
