Wonderful Experience

Daisy was great as a guide. Fennel was a skilled driver. The tour bus was comfortable and guide advice was given that was useful, thoughtful, and maximized our time. I wish we had been in Assisi longer, but there were clear expectations on how much time we would have beforehand. I think being on a bilingual tour we may have lost some of our free wandering time to double explanations. That being said, it was a fabulous experience. It was run professionally and punctually all while getting a taste of the richness of the history in these places with experienced expert guides. I would tour with CiaoFlorence again!

No leg room in bus!

Alex and Giovanni were super. Great mood and very patient. WARNING: if you are above average height the bus is impossible to fit into!!! Im 5,7 and my knees ended up marked and bruised as there was way to little room on the seats. Eventhough we swapped seats we couldnt fit - only by laying down on backseats we managed. Im 51 an honestly i shouldnt be laying down to fit my bis seat i payed for. My son is 5,11 and there was no room for his legs either. So busses need an update or better seating please.

A great day!

Alex did a great job wrangling the group and sharing really interesting information along the way. Perugia was interesting. Assisi was great. More time there would be great. I don’t realise at the time of booking that the tour was in both English and Spanish. Alex did a phenomenal with both languages and made us all feel welcome.
