High recommend Laura Sensi !!
We had an amazing family tour! Laura was so smart, funny, and personable. Would highly recommend!!
Excellent and Informative
The Highlights of Vatican and Sistine Chapel with Sandro was excellent. He was so knowledgeable and we easily understood his English. Highly recommend!
Great way to see an amazing museum.
This was a great way to see this amazing museum. We have visited many museums in our 60 plus years and one thing we have found is that after 3-4 hours your mind starts to get overloaded. This tour hits the highlights with excellent information. Our tour guide was exceptional in knowledge and friendly. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable if we needed to rest. Viator is a top-notch company that cares to make your experience a memorable one and we will not hesitate to use their services again. Jim & Jean
Great tour
Great experience. My daughter loved it. Our guide was entertaining and very informative.
Amazing Day with Babi
Today was wonderful. Babi was the best guide we have had on any private tour, and we have done many. Her knowledge is incredible, and she also added personal touches that are next level. We were completely comfortable with Babi from the start. We really wish we had more time in Florence so we could do other tours with her. It felt like spending the morning with a lifelong friend rather than someone we had just met. She tailored the experience perfectly. Grazie Babi! Book this tour or any others with Babi. You will not regret it.
