Florence walking tour - Great walking tour. The guide, Leonardo, is very knowledgeable and fun. We discovered some places we would have not, thanks to Leonardo, we learned a lot.

Definitely worthwhile - Manuel was a really knowledgeable and friendly guide. We enjoyed learning about the history of the city and the small details we would never have discovered on our own. It gave us a great start and the confidence to explore more of the city on our own. Highly recommended

Absolutely wonderful tour with Manuel - Manuel may be the best guide I've ever been with on tour. Everything about the experience was excellent. Although we were on crowded streets, our group of about 8 could always easily hear him. Manuel made efforts to find quiet corners, and we had ample time to ask questions. Each stop of the tour tied into an overall wonderful story of Florence that he supplemented with photos and drawings on a tablet to emphasize or help us visualize the history of the area. I loved that he would tell us the history of an area and allow us to find the historical evidence that was all around us. He made what could have been a "let's see the major sites in a short time" tour into an intimate experience that everyone enjoyed. My only regret about this tour was that it had to end!

Amazing and informative tour - Amazing tour, Manuel was great!! He showed us the history of Florence from a local’s perspective, starting with the initial walls and then telling the story of the Medici family, all while taking us to some of the city’s most famous sites and helping us make sense of them.
