We actually saw many of the sites on our own (Uffizi, Statue of David, etc.) on our own prior to the tour, and this was a great way to tie it all together. Thanks!Meg_G

Our guide was lovely but the tour felt lacking unfortunately. I don’t think it was worth it. We walked to a few sites but found we discovered more on our own.

This tour is so worth the price. My husband and I booked the walking tour because we didn't really know what Florence had to offer and after going on the tour we got a taste of it all. Our tour guide, I wish I could remember her name but she has curly brown hair and a polka dot umbrella, went above and beyond. Our tour was in English and it was a small group compared to the other languages. We had two other couples and a family. At one point, another couple got lost and the tour guide went to go look for them while the rest of us were trying our luck at the Porcellino Fountain. The other couple ended up finding us as we made our way through the Piazza della Signoria to the Arno River. My husband and I learned a lot on this tour and it gave us a look at the areas of Florence we wanted to return to and explore on our own. The only caveat to the tour is that the headsets would go in and out a lot but our tour guide would repeat herself when the headsets were cutting out. She would also ask us to stop her if at any point the headsets would stop working.janet_j

Lovely short walking tour. A good opportunity to get the lay of the land in Florence. Our guide Guido was terrific and gave us some terrific tips for seeing Florence. I would recommend for early in your visit.
