Florence tour - Our tour guide was great! This is a good tour to take at the beginning of your time in Florence because the info was so good. I feel taken advantage of by Trip Advisor. The tour is called Free Tour Florence and because I was booking with not much notice, I paid little attention to the fact that Trip Advisor charged me. The tour guide said she doesn’t receive that $$. I would suggest not booking a tour like this through Trip Advisor since they made $$ on the “free” tour. Guide made her money via tips.

Ludi is a great guide when you visit Florence - We were so lucky to have Ludi as our guide for our first visit to Florence. She has a fantastic knowledge of her city and its people. She gave us numerous hints on where to go, what could see off the beaten track, food hints, toilets, where to get great views. We have been on lots of walking tours and Ludi has been one of the best.
