Comprehensive and informative - Wow! Such a wonderful experience with our tour guides Chiara and Sarah. Knowledgeable and so well executed. They were eloquent, inclusive and friendly. Patient and all compassing with their knowledge and factual information. We thoroughly enjoyed roaming the city with Chiara and seeing so many beautiful sculptures and artwork, penultimately ending with the reveal of the David in the Accademia. Sarah guided us through the Uffizi with grace, a comprehensive knowledge of art dissections and study and helped us to understand about the reasoning and politics of the Renaissance and the Medici influence behind it all. We love Florence and cannot wait to return, with massive credit going to both of these women helping to nurture that appreciation. Thank you!! You were both outstanding.

Our guide was very... - Our guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out interesting things on our city walk. Also, skipping the line to see the Uffizi and Academia pieces of art, especially the statue of David...breathtaking. There is so much to see, it was nice to have a guide who could talk about the "must see" things and then we had the opportunity to stay longer if desired.

Be careful for meeting points info - This tomorrow was supposed to be one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the instructions on the app were very confusing as to the meeting point for the morning tour. So we ended up at the wrong meeting point and miss the morning tour. I showed The lovely customer reference who is there and she agreed it was confusing. But no offer for a refund or a half refund was offered. I did enjoy my afternoon tour through the Ufizzi gallery. It was so informative and she explained these beautiful paintings with such clarity.

Convenient for busy tourists - We booked this tour because we heard how horrible the lines were. The guides were nice but the cost was too much for the tours they provided. This is good if you don’t have time or patience to plan, because you are paying for the convenience and pleasant staff, but if you have the time and it’s not a peak time I would recommend attempting the tickets on your own

Good, but misleading - Catherine and chiara were great guides! The meeting place was not at the entrance instead it was by Galileo’s statue! Easy to find if you ask questions or see a flag. I would have appreciated more clear instructions to make it less confusing! The quick walking tour was great and full of information but the Academia part was basically only about the David. Did not even go into other rooms! The Uffizi tour was comprehensive going through most of the gallery and explaining the works much more in depth. Overall good tour- just a bit different than what we were expecting
