Eduardo was an incredible tour guide that fit so much history and local knowledge in such a short tour. We covered lots of ground and learned a lot. He also gave us recommendations to do after the tour that made our entire trip to Florence much better, including an excellent recommendation to go to San Lorenzo basilica and a tip on the best lampredotto in Florence! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
A nice tour!

This was not what we signed up for- it wasn’t a walking tour, it was a talking tour. The guide was knowledgeable, but stood, often for more than 10 minutes and talked at us. Lots of history, nothing shared about current buildings, politics, or community. We basically walked around a few blocks. The guide was late, he had his “speech” and didn’t like when I asked him questions, sometimes he literally ignored me. There were only 4 of us, none of us were happy, and he knew it. Abruptly ended the tour, took our ear buds and left…didn’t even wait for a tip… The tour advertised had specific sites which we did not see. I would not recommend this tour, nor this group.

We booked the walking tour for our first day in Florence to hopefully get an idea of what around the city we would want to explore further. Our tour guide was not very informative and it felt very rushed. It was basically an hour stroll you can do on your own if anyone you’ve ever known has been here 5 minutes longer than you have
Chiara was awesome!...

Chiara was awesome! Knowledgeable and funny. We really enjoyed our tour and felt like we had a good lay of the land afterward. Also had several good recommendations for restaurants and cafes by the end of the tour!
