Excellent

The tour was fantastic. Our guide, Chiara. was very knowledgeable with many interesting stories and information re the craftsmen and history of 'Renaissance Florence'. I studied architectural history in the 1960's but today was more than I had previously learned and had hoped for. Chiara's personality was very warm and inclusive and very attentive to tour participants. Best regards Terence

Well organized and well informed!

Very well organized tour. We had earpieces so we could clearly understand Amanda. She was very well informed about the art history of Firenze and was able to interpret all the different iconography in the city, which was very interesting!
