WOW!! - Amazing experience! I've spent a weekend in Florence with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed this new concept of guided tour. After 45mins we could jump off to have a quick break and then we jump on to finish our tour. Both guides were fantastic! - I recommend it!

Great way to see Florence - I joined this tour in October last year, just before Covid locked us all down again. It was very enjoyable and informative and we got to see many hidden parts of Florence. Tino was an excellent guide and we like the flexibility of getting off the tour and back on again whenever we liked. This freedom allowed us to stop for lunch by Ponte Vecchio, so we were refreshed ready for more in the afternoon!

Great value for money - I love the Vox City Walks programme, it is very flexible and the app works very well, like Uber, but for the guided tours. Great value for money!

Lovely way to explore Florence - We did this tour whilst we were in Florence last year and loved it. We love walking tours anyway, but this one felt very personal. I think it's a great idea to be able to leave and re-join later on - it can be quite tricky to walk a 2 hour circuit in sweltering heat! I thought it was a lovely way to explore Florence.

Basic and impersonal - Basic tour covering all the sites you're probably going to visit anyway. Some interesting bits of info. The guide was competent but it felt like this was just one of dozens of tours she's done this summer. She did not encourage questions or chat while walking between sites. It's a product - pay more if you want something personal and detailed.

Not worth the time and money - The guide didn’t great us and didn’t give any introduction to the tour. Instead of 10:30 we started at 10:50- there were some organizational issues with other tour participants. Very impersonal and quite monotonous so even for us adults it was difficult to follow.
