5.00Angelo A was fantastic. I couldn’t imagine touring the museums in my own. His knowledge and passion were second to none. Book this tour and ask for Angelo A!

5.00Wear comfortable shoes. Let your guide know if you have any special needs (difficulty with stairs etc) as well as any special interests. Brenda was great and made sure to find things that were specific to our interests. Her love of her city and the art was palpable. She was the best.

Very proffesional guide

4.00If you have the stamina, focus and attention span to listen to this awesome tour guide talking for 4 hours, you might actually learn something. The skip-the-line thing is actually not a thing. The skip-the-line line, it turns out, is a very long line, especially for the Academia entry.
A great introduction to Florence and renaissance art

5.00A great opportunity to learn about Florence, the renaissance, Michelangelo, Da Vince, and the other great artists. It provided an opportunity to visit the Uffizi museum and to view The David without waiting in line. Our guide, Valentina, was very informative about all aspects of Italian art and very easy to understand. We learned a lot.
It could be better

3.00We didn’t enter the Duomo. The museum was amazing but the guide took us only to few paintings and sculptures. Stood in the same place talking 15 minutes without walking and seeing other works of art

5.00This tour was wonderful. Brenda our guide brought Florence to life! Her love of art is contagious. She is ridiculously knowledgeable. We enjoyed all of her information about the great works of art in Florence. It's an easy walking tour that highlights so many points of interest between the two museums. Do not miss this tour!
Our missed tour

1.00Unfortunately I missed the tour. The Viking bus was supposed to get me to Florence before 9AM which would have been ample time to get to your meeting place. They actually got us to the bus drop off point above the city at 9:35 and we were unable to get a taxi to take us to the meeting point at your requested 9:45. The next time I reserve a tour with you I will not rely on Viking as part of the transportation. George Ford
