Wonderful tour, jam-packed with info and insights.. - The knowledge of my guide, Vincenzo. He was affable, energetic, and knowledgeable in every aspect of the tour: history, architecture, art, politics, AND he even gave me some Florentine culinary recommendations; not restaurants, but dishes to try. I lucked out to be the only one on the tour that morning, so it was more like seeing these sights with a very knowledgeable friend. Do it!
