Fantastic Tour of Basilica Santa Croce Given by Dan Harper

5.00Dan Harper's tour of Basilica Santa Croce was a highlight of our trip to Florence. The tour lasted almost 2-1/2 hours and was packed with interesting information. He also provided a few tidbits of information about other sights in Florence which was a bonus. He was so knowledgeable and was able to convey the information in a way that the time flew by. I'm sure we learned things that wouldn't be in any tour book. We've known Dan for some time but this is the first time we saw him in Florence and we feel very fortunate that we were able to take his tour. He entertained any and all questions. If you are going to see Basilica Santa Croce, be sure to schedule a tour with Dan. You won't regret it. The tour is free but any donations he receives, he gives to the Basilica.
A good start in Zurich

5.00Great tour. Good way to see the city. A little history and pretty sites. It lasted about 4 and 1/2 hours but was interesting and a great way to see this beautiful city. The boat ride was short, but nice. The view from the cable car was also nice.
A GREAT walk around historic Zurich

5.00Our tour guide Greg was very knowledgeable, and conveyed his love for Zurich to our group. Not only did he share the historical facts, there was also some trivia that he interspersed with the tour to keep it interesting. It was paced well, and without an overload of information to make you want to jump ship! It was a great time spent!
Great guide
