Rushed and impatient

2.00The tour guide was not 15 min early as stated on the directions caused us to worry and call to make sure they were coming. Once he arrived he seemed unhappy that we were the only couple signed up for the tour. The tour guide was assigned for English. Unfortunately he spoke with a heavy accent that was hard to interpret. The tour was insightful though the guide seemed to have his own agenda and was quite snarky. I would not recommend this tour if your looking for a friendly tour guide that is patient and friendly with ample opportunity to take pictures look somewhere else. In addition when the tour was over he walked us out and did not afford us time to explore on our own though the tour included the cost of the museum.
Love All the Art and Medici
