The bus was clean and comfortable which was important for a ride that was 2 hours each way. Our guide gave some historical context on the way highlighting some key stops in Florence. We did the guided tour and In all she was good about moving the group together. Audio headsets would have much improved the walking tour which was a stopping at a total of 4 stops -this was a walk to a spot and then 10-15 minutes for free time at each stop to take pics. The split off to the academia museum was disorganized and in the middle of the walking tour. So if you signed up for that you missed a portion of the walking tour. Also this was an English tour but somehow it was combined with a Spanish tour for one family. So everything was repeated in two languages. If the guide hadn’t been as nice and helpful as she was -I’d give this a 3. The group was small. Advice -do the accademia gallery on your own after the walking tour.

Marina (our guide) met everyone coming off our ship and we were dropped off close to the train station. We could have continued with the group on a walking tour, but chose to take a golf cart tour and met back up with this group at the end to take the bus home. Marina provided background regarding Florence and the outskirts during the trip into Florence from La Spezia. We would recommend as a direct way into the city.

We just paid for the transfer not the tour and it worked out perfectly. The team was gracious and accommodating. Love it when plans proceed without a hitch!

It was great. Martina our guide took us on a walk around Florence and took us to all the Amazing places in Florence. Martina also showed us the best ice cream place and a beautiful restaurant where we had proper tasty Italian food.
