Fun Overview Tour of Florence - Very personable tour guide with a small group setting (3 couples). All details (meeting point, tour activities, etc.) as described in tour description. We actually saw many of the sites on our own (Uffizi, Statue of David, etc.) on our own prior to the tour, and this was a great way to tie it all together. Thanks!

Great tour for the price... - Great tour for the price - was a wonderful introduction to the city and a beginner guide to Florence and the significance of the Duomo and other key spots. Loved her suggestions for museums to visit and general advice about where to go for groceries, how to know if it's real gelato, gift ideas, etc

Great overview of Florence & its history - The guide was very knowledgeable and gave a great overview of all the key historical areas we saw. It was very crowded so it was maybe not the same experience. She should include some sort of flag so the group could stay together more. Overall, super experience.

It was fine - Our guide was lovely but the tour felt lacking unfortunately. I don’t think it was worth it. We walked to a few sites but found we discovered more on our own.
