Favorite Tour - This was my favorite tour in our Italy Trip. The guide was excellent, super knowledgable and engaging. He gave such good insight into the history, gave us time to look around and take pictures. Never felt rushed. He answered all of our questions and was patient and fun. Would recommend to anyone!

We really enjoyed the... - We really enjoyed the tour of Palazzo Vecchio. We had walked past it many times but never went in. Our guide, Sarah, was excellent. In addition to being a lovely person, she was very knowledgeable about Florence - a native - and that made it special. Her enthusiasm made our tour very special!

Unexpected private tour - Wonderful tour that ny chance ended up.just being myself and the tour guide. What could have been awkward with just the two of us was anything but. She was knowledgeable without being overbearing. It turned into a perfect introduction to Florence and the Medici family history.

Good but too long - I came into the tour with some limited knowledge of the Medici family tree. I loved the tour of the rooms which gave purpose for their use and how it correlated with the Medici history. At times it was hard to know which Medici we were talking about, but she was great a clarifying when asked. It would have been easier to follow if the guide had a family tree handy so she could point to the person we were talking about first. It was especially hot, so my kids (11 & 14) grew tired quickly. I think the same tour could have been given with 30 minutes less time and it would have been better.

No show! - I would give 0 stars if I could. We arrived at the meet up location 15 min before our tour time. Our tour guide never showed up! After 30 min of waiting I tried to contact the company via their chat feature. No response. I then tried to contact them via wassap. I was able to connect with a customer rep but they could not locate the tour guide or explain what happened. I requested a refund and am still waiting for someone to get in touch with me. Terrible experience and a total waste of money.
