Great choice for Walking Tour! - We went for the walking tour with Matt and had an absolutely fantastic time! He was warm, funny, and full of local stories that made every stop so much more meaningful. Matt was very attentive and a good storyteller!! The pace was perfect for both my son and my elderly mom. We skipped the lines, discovered hidden corners, and learned a ton. . Definitely one of the highlights in

Best way to see Florence - This walking tour was one of our best experiences in Florence.Our guide Giada P. was knowledgeable and passionate .Her approach and stories about the arts and the history of the city kept you wanting more. I did want to see David,but never really cared much. Now once she gave us the story , I fell in love with sheer fascination about this masterpiece . Now as I walk around a few days later , I know the story about the history,architecture and the way of life centuries ago. Ciao

Great tour of Florence with David - Our guide, Alma was great. Very nice, knowledgeable and engaging. Gave the right amount of time at each point and answered questions easily. Our teenage boys - who have short attention spans - had a little trouble with the 2.5 hour length of the tour but we thought it was a good amount of time, given the amount of information and places covered.

Better communication - The guide was very good but you stand around for a long time. I was expecting the Duomo and the climb but they are closed Sundays. Why sell a ticket with that on it when you know the date we booked it
