Overall the tour was good. Lots of good information about the history of Florence. The description is a little confusing, you don’t actually go in the duomo you just stay outside and learn about it.

Loved my Vatican tour with Through Eternity Tours. Our guide, Daniela, was very knowledgeable. They were also so kind to wait for us when we had a transportation mishap getting to the meeting point on time. I called, they redirected us where to go to still join the tour, and made sure they found us. I was so happy they didn’t leave us behind! I feel like other companies would not have gone that extra mile! Their communication was top notch!
