5.00I could not have been more delighted with the knowledge and presentation of my guide, Katarina. She was warm, friendly and highly knowledgeable about everything presented during my small group tour especially given the very overcrowded environment she was working within. I would highly recommend her strong skills and detailed presentation to anyone visiting Florence.
Perfect amount of time and good information

5.00Wonderful. This was truly skip the line. Not just “get in a shorter line”. Tour was an hour and it was all we needed. Guide would have stayed longer if we wanted. It was just myself and my husband. Very private

5.00Very informative visit with guide Paola Angelini. She has perfect knowledge of Michelangelo’s “David” and his other unfinished statues. She speaks French perfectly. We had a pleasant time. To be renewed in the event of your next trip to Florence for a city tour.
