Meeting point needs to be clearer

5.00Daniela gave us a great tour. Her English was very good and was passionate about Florence. Viator needs to provide more information on meeting point as that was very unclear and the area was a mass of people.
Lots of great info in a fun and engaging presentation!

5.00Excellent in depth information about the gallery art work (painting and sculpture pieces). Also biographies about the artists and the culture of the times, which enhanced the overall experience.
Florence made easy!

5.00The skip-the-line tour to Academia and Uffizi using head sets made the experience very enjoyable. If you are someone who wants to see all the artwork or move slowly through the museums, this tour is not for you. We moved quickly but also had in depth descriptions of some of the major artworks. Guilia did a great job and I felt her love for Florence.

5.00It was an amazing experience but be prepared for lots of people. Our guide (can’t recall her name) navigated us well and explained much, giving context to what we saw. I recommend the tour.
Fantastic Tour by Christiano

5.00This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Florence. It is an excellent way to efficiently experience many of the city’s most important historical and artistic landmarks while gaining a much deeper understanding of their significance. Cristiano made this tour truly unforgettable. His knowledge of Florence’s history, architecture, and art was extraordinary. The way he explained each piece and landmark was thoughtful, engaging, and often poetic, allowing us to appreciate them on a much deeper level. Listening to him provide the historical context behind the artwork was genuinely moving and transformed what could have been simple sightseeing into a memorable learning experience. I highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes, as there is quite a bit of walking involved. If possible, book an early morning tour to enjoy the sites before the crowds arrive.
So glad we booked this...

5.00So glad we booked this tour. Skipping the line is a huge time saver for both museums on this tour, but having Elena as your expert guide is the real value in this experience.

5.00This tour is a must if you are spending a short time in Florence and want to see the highlights of the city. Federico was very knowledgeable about each destination and we never felt rushed. He also has a very special trick to seeing the famous statue of David that really helps you appreciate how magnificent it is. Definitely recommend this tour!
