Great experience with very knowledgeable Ivan - Our guide Ivan was very knowledgeable and passionate about Florence. He took his time showing us the museum and also offered to take pictures. He was very funny too and really engaging. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a deeper insight of the palazzo vecchio.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE - I am writing to commend Ms. Campbell, a gate agent at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, who went above and beyond to assist me during a recent travel experience. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I arrived late for my flight to Fort Lauderdale, and it was clear that I was not alone in this predicament. Many passengers were also running late, which understandably led to a high-stress situation at the gate. I was saddened, however, to witness several individuals directing their frustration toward the ticket agents, particularly Ms. Campbell. Despite the challenging environment and some passengers’ hostile behavior, Ms. Campbell remained remarkably professional, composed, and kind. When it was my turn to be assisted, I expressed my apologies for being late and acknowledged the unfair treatment she had received from others. She responded with genuine grace and understanding, stating, "Don't you worry, sir; I will do the best I can for you." True to her word, Ms. Campbell found a solution for me, securing a same-day rebooking with a direct flight and even retaining my original seat. Her dedication and efficiency were invaluable to me in that moment, and her respectful, positive attitude truly exemplified Spirit Airlines' core values. Ms. Campbell embodies the values of respect, innovation, and authenticity that Spirit Airlines promotes. In my brief interaction with her, she not only displayed a respect for all passengers, even those who were unkind, but also showed innovation by quickly finding a solution to rebook my flight without a connecting leg. She handled every passenger interaction with authenticity, transparency, and patience that went beyond expectation. Employees like Ms. Campbell are a true asset to Spirit Airlines. Her ability to remain calm, positive, and solutions-focused in a high-pressure situation reflects the dedication and customer-first mindset that any airline would be fortunate to have. I hope Spirit Airlines recognizes Ms. Campbell’s exceptional efforts and continues to promote such professionalism and customer care as cornerstones of the travel experience.

Beautiful location but an abrupt guide - It was a group of 5 and the guide would not answer individual questions. Palazzo Vecchio has a rich history and beautiful but choose a different guide
