5.00Phenomenal tour! Incredibly informative, particularly about history and architecture. As he explained, this is the "Sherlock Holmes" of tours where he will point out hidden gems that give you further hints at the history of Florence. Helps you see the city with new eyes.
Quick tour with great information!

5.00Manuel was an awesome tour guide. My husband and I were staying in Rome for our honeymoon and we decided to come to Florence for a day. We wanted a tour that was quick but insightful and Manuel provided us with just that, as well as some recommendations for food, drinks, and sights to see along the way. We learned so much about to wonderful city of Florence and honestly wish we stayed longer. Thank you so much!
