Couldn't have been better

Published on Jan, 2025

Book this tour! Skipping the line was so, so valuable. We came during the Christmas holiday season (in January), so the museums and piazzas were very crowded. So glad we booked this tour. We got to spend a lot of time at the David. That was the primary focus of The Accademia (and our main reason for booking the tour). If you want to see more in The Accademia, you’ll need to book another tour/ get another ticket. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable! I love museums and learned a few things about the Gothic, Renaissance, and Medieval periods. I’m glad we went on her tour first so we could go by Saint Croce to see Michelangelo’s tomb afterwards. The Dumo is breathtaking! We also enjoyed our walking tour. 10/10!! It is the perfect amount of time, too, with a 25-minute break to use the restroom, grab a coffee, or see more of The David. Highly recommend. She accepts tips, too. Don't bring more than a 0.5 L bottle of water or you’ll have to toss it.

Great intro tour to Florence

Published on Jan, 2025

great tour, great guide, right length of time/distance. A perfect intro to Florence and her art. We visited around Christmas time and skipping the lines was a really nice feature of tour.

Master class!

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent tour guide! Regina gave us a very thorough description and background about the various artworks and historical landmarks. I typically enjoy detailed oriented descriptions and this tour was exactly what I wanted. It was a master class! Parisa was also very nice in coordinating the tour before we depart for the adventure, all around amazing experience. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Trip around the heart and soul of Florence

Published on Dec, 2024

The meeting point was pretty easy to find and the tour guide we had she was amazing and new soo much of the history of Florence.

Great experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide gave us an art class in 3 hours! My kids (18 and 14 y.o.) learned more in a morning than in any class at high school. We didn’t enter the Duomo as it was Christmas eve, but we did enter lately by ourselves and there was nothing to be seen inside, so we’re glad we didn’t lose time from the tour there. Highly recommend it if you have just a short time in Florence.
