Really interesting! Angela told us lots of stories that caught our attention! E.g.: Galileo turned blind! One Medici married for love! Maria Luisa de Medici helped to keep the pieces of art when she signed the deal with the Austrians. Highly recommended!!!

Michele is an incredible tour guide. We had just finished a Christmas market cruise up the Rayn and spent four days in Florence. Although the walkingtour was 2 1/2 hours I would highly recommend this tour

I now know where Mona Lisa lived, where Dante's house is not, where the word bank originated, where ice cream originated and many other interesting facts that make me look at Florence a little differently. A guided tour is worth it

Well worth signing up! Great communication via WhatsApp for meeting place, our guide (Michele) was fabulous. He linked history and local knowledge beautifully.

The guide struck me as overly theatrical. I prefer more straightforward information. I took several walking tours on this trip to Italy, and this one was not one of my favorites. This is advertised as “The best tour in Florence”. It isn’t.
