Best of Florence in two parts - This was a two part tour of Florence and highly recommended. We walked through Florence with Valentina, a very knowledgeable guide who talked to us about medieval Florence, the Medicis and the architecture. We walked by the Medicis first mansion (now a museum), church, the Duomo and baptistery and into the Piazza Della Signoria where we saw a number of sculptures. We ended part one at the Ponte Vecchio. Then we broke for lunch and met again for a tour of the Uffizi Gallery where we saw David (astounding) and works by Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Rafaello and Giotto. Although the tour ended we were able to stay in the museum to view more.

Good tour if you don’t have much time. - Tour guide is very knowledgeable but it was difficult to follow and monotonic. It is also shorter than they advertise and felt that it is expensive.
