A lovely guided walk around Florence - Great way to find out about the city. Guide was brilliant.Everything has become so expensive over the past few years. Being able to leave what you can afford is great value for money.

Very funny tour and interesting stories - All of us 3 loved the tour and stories ., for me the best was Medici murder stories, a priest and devil, and a death woman wondering the streets etc. also ghost and window was interesting for my kids. There was also torture tower for witches and prostitutes..the Gucci family story could have been longer and more detailed. But that’s the day tour. The tour guide was sweet and entering.. thank you

Great experience! - It was a really great evening! Angela was an amazing guide, and we got a lot of information, not just about the "Dark side of Florence" but also recommendations for food, ice creame, stores etc and places we need to see! Despite being a huge group, everything worked out fine! Definitely would recommend if you're into the theme.

Different Florence! - We found the tour very interesting, and we also saw places we hadn't been to before and appreciated even more the ones we had. Sebastian, the guide, was brilliant, he had us hooked from the start.

A tour full of humanity - The main characteristic of Guillermo's tour was that, despite talking about ghosts, deaths, terrifying fires, betrayals, and murderers, what he most emphasized was life and the people who are swept up in its vortex. Florence is a city full of art, but this tour of surprising stories is a great way to finish it off.

Really not sure what to think of that tour... - The premise was good - we would get to see some of Florence's main sight, while getting to hear about the darker side of Florence and it's history. Moreover, this is a tip based tour, with Viator basically charging a small booking fee - so you go in thinking "I don't have much to lose". First, the setup was a little bit chaotic and getting everyone ready to go took some time. Once this was done, technology worked fine for everyone and the group size was reasonable for what it was trying to achieve. Now, this is meant to be a walking tour, not a standing in place tour and staying in Piazza della Santissima Annuniziata for over 30 minutes to get through a single story is not a good start to the tour. Yes, we eventually walked down Via dei Servi to the Duomo area, with some stories in between, we went to Palazzo Vecchio, heard about Dante and made it past Galleria Uffizi to get a view of Ponte Vecchio for our last story. The challenge remained that our guide, as knowledgeable as he was, was not an effective story teller. We did a tour in Prague 10 days later and that was effective storytelling - short 5-10 minutes story and then you move. All that to say that we could have seen what we had seen in roughly half the time, or could have seen more in the time alloted
