A perfect Day One introduction to Florence - We took this tour on our first morning in Florence. It was the perfect way to get oriented and learn more about the fascinating history of this city. Florence is so walkable and the tour never felt rushed or confusing. No maps or apps to deal with! Our guide Becky was very knowledgeable and gave us just the right mix of history and culture. She pointed out little gems that we would not have seen or appreciated in the same way if we had walked on our own. This tour is definitely worth the time and money. We would absolutely recommend it as a perfect Day One activity.

Fantastic experience. - Best tour I’ve ever done - and I’ve done plenty. Tour guide Lisa was brilliant. Lots of detail but not too much. Engaged the group well. Humour and personality scattered throughout. So glad I did this tour and when I bring my wife next time will do it again. Having the headsets made it really easy. A great way to absorb Florence at a high level in a short time.
