Nice

The guided tours were wonderful and a great learning experience. The train ride home was a problem. The only train to Rome was a different company that charged us $200. Our train number was for Napoli. We asked several people, including security, but they all said to read the monitor. Other than paying twice for a train, it was a good day

Need to go back to see more in Florence

The experience started in a very negative way. We were met by a guide who put us on the train at the last possible moment while also telling us and trying to coordinate where we going at the end of the end of train ride. He told us one place only to find out it was a different place entirely that we had to try and walk to. We were trying to help the other couple with us who had issues with walking long distances. I would give the first part of the review a 2 out of 5 stars but once we met with Sara everything turned it around. She is an amazing tour guide who clearly shows the passion for her job, her city, and the art she shows. If you have the chance to have Sara as your guide you won’t be disappointed. Side note when attempting to contact the first guide to get more info about to meet he never answered his phone. Sara deserves a 7/5 star rating.

Great Day Trip from Rome

LivTours did an amazing job curating the day in Florence. The experience was seamless as we passed from Alessandro in Rome to Olga and Sara in Florence. I would highly recommend if you want to get away from Rome for a day.

Great highlights of Florence in one day

Travel from Rome to and from Florence was great. We met guides at train stations with clear directions. Once we all met to start tour in Florence - I was a little confused on timeline. I think the guides could have provided more detail on itinerary and to ask group if they had any specific requests. We spent over 2 hours in uffizi museum and ran over. It wasn’t clear how much free time we would have and when from the start of day. Both guides were super passionate about their jobs - great story telling!! But wanted more communication and to ask if we were okay with itinerary. Also i would have liked to know the return train time in advance that was purchased by tour group bc i would have stayed longer in Florence. Getting to skip line and go straight to statue of David was the reason I booked this tour as well!

Educational, inspiring

Gallerie Museum with statue of David, Venus de Milo painting, and history of the area and Medici. Loved the tour guides. Very knowledgeable and accommodating.
