Great introduction to the city of Florencedarleneh847
Great introduction to the city for our first morning in Florence. We got the ‘lay of the land’ and could easily navigate our way around to shops, restaurants, historical sites etc. Matteo was personable and knowledgeable and catered the tour to our desires. What a gift to just walk around the city in a threesome rather than a huge group with headphones and guide with a flag. It felt like we were being introduced to Florence by a friend. Bonus:Matteo met us at our rental apartment to start the tour and made sure to end at our afternoon destination of leather shop area.

Amaizing tour in Floreance during my solo trip in Italy.
As it was private I had the opportunity to ask all the questions I wanted to my guide. She inspired me and made me passionate about Italian art.
I loved how she explained the things very clearly and easy to understand.
Certainly not my last time in Florence.

It was a great way to start our trip as it gave us an excellent sense for the city and gave us ideas for additional palaces, churches and museums to visit on our vacation. It was well worth it.

Informative tour around Florence.Edward_F
Our guide was quite interesting and knowledgeable about the city and the locations we visited. Because it was a private tour, we were able to visit parts of the city not listed on the tour description. It is a bit pricey, but we're not sorry to have done the tour.
