Traveler reviews
if sebas has a million fans, I am one, if he only has 1 fan it’s me, and if he has zero fans, I am dead.
5/5. no notes. 100% recommend. Sebas’ knowledge and his overall enthusiasm about the topics we approached on this tour was infectious. I wish it went on longer. The group vibes were immaculate.
Michele was friendly, funny, and informative
Michele was friendly, funny, and informative. He taught us all about the fascinating mysteries and legends of Florence, answering any questions with great enthusiasm.
Lovely night tour with excellent guide
We had a lovely time! Our guide Antonio was very enthousiastic and a great story-teller. Certainly learned things we would not have heard elsewhere on our trip, and it was nice to see the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio etc later in the day when it was less crowded.
A different tour.
Very recommendable! We learned history in a fun way, and also with a spooky side... Sebastián was a 10 out of 10 guide! Without a doubt, we would repeat it.
Recommended.
Sebastián is a very good guide; the experience with him is very interesting and immersive. We will repeat it!
