Eliza is the Best! - Eliza was awesome. So knowledgeable about the Medici’s and very personable. I wish I had more time with her! She went above and beyond helping me get to our next tour and navigate the somewhat complex ticketing system. We’ll be sure to rebook on our next trip!

Guided tour of the centre of Florence - Tour in English but the hostess contacted a guide who spoke French. We were 2 couples, Luigi offered us the bike tour at no extra charge. Great, more tours in the streets and monuments of the city of Firenze. And one English and one French. Congratulations to him. Details, anecdotes... We recommend.

A very informative tour, recommended - After a few organisational issues because we were in the low season, we ended up with just two of us and a very pleasant guide. We learnt a lot about Florence, and the Medici family. We were shown many things that we would have otherwise passed by, and we made note of the places we wanted to visit later. *****. By the way, if you don't already know, red23, black 111 and black 13 are small square plaques above shop doors, not the street number !

An Interesting historical journey - Guide was knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. She paced the tour well, did not leave anyone behind and tried to link the architecture to the Medici family in an entertaining way.
