Fantastic overview of highlights of Florence

5.00My husband and I were lucky enough to do this tour with a nice small group and a fantastic guide, Laura (which she pointed out the correct way to pronounce her name was to use ALL of the vowels!) She was great. It was obvious from the beginning the passion that she has for everything she showed us. We began our tour with seeing Galleria dell'Accademia where we saw David. Of course there was much more in that museum and she explained it all - super interesting. When we got to David she told us more than I would have ever expected. As we were walking through the streets of Florence she explained so much more. We had a break for lunch then came back together in the Piazza della Signoria where she went over stories of many of the fabulous statues there. We went on to tour the Uffizi Gallery. I dont think we would have enjoyed this part of the tour nearly as much without a guide and Laura really "hit it out of the park" (I wonder if she knows what that means lol) with that famous art gallery. Normally my eyes kinda glaze over quickly with art galleries - and I do like them but I dont last long trying decipher everything myself. However she made each piece come alive with the stories and it was such a good experience. This tour is expensive but we felt like it was money well spent. Grazie mille to Laura!
Florence is a wonderful place with amazing art but hot.

4.00Skip the line really helps. Old Eurpoean city walking, typically on cobblestones and uneven paving stones.
Great Florence Walking Tour!

Worth every penny

5.00This tour was so interesting! We thoroughly enjoyed it from the moment we easily met Chiara in the square until we left her at Ufuzzi. My husband studied art and said as she taught us his college courses came back. I did not study art and I learned so much! Chiara made it fun . She was so down to earth and knowledgeable about the art and the area. We would do it again !
Amazing Experience with an even more amazing guide

5.00We have taken many tours in Italy but Antonio was by far the most knowledgeable guide yet. His encyclopedic knowledge of every artist, piece of art and the history of Florence is unmatched. 100 stars. Any tour he gives we would recommend.
Great tour of Florence!

Do Not Use Feel The City - Scam!!

1.00We booked the "Galería Uffizi + Palazzo Pitti + Jardines Boboli" through Tripadvisor with Feel the City as the operator. I would NEVER recommend anyone use this company and would strongly suggest TripAdvisor remove them as an option. We made reservations 2 months in advance and received confirmation as well as warnings that the tickets were not changeable or refundable. Our tour date was 05/05. On May 4 I received notice that our tour had been cancelled. I did receive my money back, but with that short notice I was not able to secure tickets to the Uffizi. The call center for Feel the City could not tell me why I was cancelled, only confirming that I was cancelled, Very disappointed as the Uffizi was high on our list of must see in Florence. Again, DO NOT use this tour operator. They are either highly incompetent or very dishonest. I can't tell which. Trip Advisor should not be listing this operator.
Our guide was wonderful!...

5.00Matthew was an Absolutely outstanding tour guide! His knowledge of art, art history, the history of Florence and general Italy is extensive! We truly appreciated how he was able to take all of what we were fortunate to see and weave it into the historical events and sentiments of the eras! He is also very personable, considerate and humorous! Excellent tour!
