An excellent tour - This tour was great - deepening our understanding of Florence and the role of the Medici family in its evolution. Our guide, Camilla was knowledgeable, interesting and brought the stories of Florence to life. The headsets worked well and helped block out the sound of nearby guides. Totally recommend!
