So worth it! - So glad we had Lorenzo as our guide. It was two of us and another couple - small group was ideal for us. All questions were answered with great detail. We never felt rushed. Absolutely worth it to have a guide - makes me wonder what I missed in the places I visited without one.

Couldn't imagine a better tour of Palazzo Vecchio - Can't say enough about what a great guide Ivanno is. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, friendly and down to earth. He answered all of our questions with great patience. Highly recommend

Wonderful experience - My english guide was wonderful! I sadly don't remember her name to mention it here. The visit itself was fascinating, it's a must! The tower however, not so interesting if you've already gone to the top of the Duomo.

Great experience - It was so much better with a guide who provided us context and stories. Our particular guide didn't flinch when we peppered her with questions! She knew all the answers!

Must do! - Incredible! Our tour ended up just being my husband and I (other couple didn’t show) and the tour guide went above and beyond! Our 1.5 hour tour turned into almost 3 hours and she did a fantastic job telling us about the history. She was incredibly informative and after the tour recommended some restaurants nearby to enjoy (which we did!). My husband said this was his favorite tour of our entire 10 day Italy trip. Highly recommend

Great day in Florence - We had such a great day. Our guide was friendly, energetic, and knowledgeable. This was a great tour. Wasn't sure what we were going to see but it was a highlight of our tour in Florence that day.

The Palazzo was amazing... - The Palazzo was amazing but our tour guide didn’t have great English so that was unfortunate. I believe there were many more historical and religious details that could have been explained in more detail. But, overall it is still very much worth the entry fee, etc.

Poor English, no storytelling - The guide’s English was poor, both in articulation and vocabulary. The information provided did not go beyond what was already written on the museum inscriptions. There was no storytelling—only brief descriptions of each room, lacking context about the Medici family’s history.
