Traveler reviews
The Amazing David and Florence
This was our second tour with Marco Villani. I will say that he is one of the best tour guides we have had. At first I was not going to book a tour to see Michaelangelo’s David. And I was skeptical. I said, “Why do I need to see another statue?” I will tell you, after Marco’s tour, I am totally in awe of that beautiful sculpture. It is not just another statue. He was able to make us see David with great detail and understand Michaelangelo as a true genius. Then we embarked on a tour of Florence and mere buildings became major works of art with Marco’s guidance. Through Marco we were able to make connections with other art that we saw in Rome as well as in the Uffizzi. I am totally impressed with this experience. I highly recommend the Roman Guy and Marco. This was the second tour with Marco and the 4th with The Roman Guy.
Amazing city of Florence
You don’t need guided tours to appreciate Florence. Everything is in your doorstep. Pinterest Vecchio bridge was my favourite place to hang out in the evenings. The dome book before you go because we were there a week and you need to book in advance. It’s a fabulous place and you can enjoy fine dining or hanging out in the many cafes people watching and soaking up the ambience
