5.00Excellent explanations of the history and politics of the city and some of the powerful leaders and brilliant artists, writers and scholars. The Renaissance brought to life through the buildings and sculptures. Our guide Angela Rossi was a very clear communicator and encouraged and answered questions very well.

5.00We had a smooth check in and no trouble finding the City Wonders guides with their great instructions & updates in advance. Despite a very busy time in the crowded historic district we had no problem following Giovanna & hearing all of her commentary. She is very knowledgeable, understandable & witty! Great tour of “can’t miss” David!

5.00Sarah was a wonderful, informed guide through the city. She spoke clearly, and answered all our questions. We were delayed reaching the starting point of the tour due to inclement weather & traffic. But the company reached out to us to find out where we were, and held up the tour as long as they could. We were finally united with the group. We were appreciative of their efforts. Definitely use this company..they went above and beyond

5.00Stephanie was excellent. She is highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Florence. She is an excellent storyteller and makes the structures, buildings, and paintings come to life. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour as two people who are not by any means art or history buffs. She answered all of our questions and was very enjoyable to chat with. Thank you Stephanie for a great afternoon!
Great tour!

5.00Our guide was very patient and informative! She had so much history to offer about not only David, but the instruments, and paintings as well. With the tour being an hour, she knew the important items to talk about. I would do this again.
A lovely hour with David

5.00Brilliant tour Visit involves queue time but the guide Annette used the time to give background on the exhibits in the gallery and in particular Michelangelo so we knew a lot before we entered the building. Tour itself was very informative and very well delivered with a lovely mix of hard and soft detail.
Easy to use.
