The walking tour of Florence was excellent with our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Thank goodness we had earphones because the city was so busy that we would not have been able to hear our guide without them. The tour lasts about 2 hours before entering the museum via skip the line. We still had to wait to get inside but for the number of people, it was very well organised. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence.

Our guide Sara was very informative. She took us around Florence to see some of sights. Also, we were able to skip the long lines to enter the Galleria.

This was fantastic! Our guide was terrific, loved the walking tour prior to going to the Accademia so much information and she was just lovely!! Booking in the late afternoon was also perfect for seeing David, as the crowds thinned and we had awesome viewing.

We had a great tour with our guide. She was knowledgeable, fun, and helpful. As English speakers in an Italian city she was easy to understand.

Tour guide was nice and gave good info. We felt like the Piazza took too much time and it was cold so could have been speed up some. There are some random architecture things pointed out on walk to David could have skipped and no Ponte Vecchio info or seen. Did that another day, not with a tour you don’t need one there. The david was amazing and I would probably preferred just skip the line David. If you like more then or random info, you’ll like this tour.

Saw a lot of attractions but the tour guide was difficult to understand. Glad we got to see David! Also, we had skip the line but so did a lot of other tours so we did have to wait 30 minutes to enter the museum.

It was helpful to have a guide due to the large crowds in the museum. Guide Sara was excellent at timing our movements through and with the crowds as needed, and was able to convey a lot of information to us.

Small group so that was nice but I felt the tour guide wasn’t as easy to understand when she explained things as the guide we had earlier in the day. She was just a little all over the place in’s explaining things and we were a little confused.
