Florence + the (Yulia) Machine - Yulia was a fountain of knowledge about Florentine history. Take this tour before doing anything in Florence. You'll get a great overview of Florence's history & art AND you’ll receive an understanding of the city's layout. Well worth the price.

Fantastic experience overall - We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Florence Walk and Talk - On Medici's Footsteps tour. Our tour guide was not only friendly, fun, and informative, but also had impeccable English. After calling to confirm the meeting point, we were warmly greeted at their Hub before setting off on our adventure.
Over the course of about 3 hours, the tour took us to every corner of the beautiful city of Florence. We learned about the rich history, captivating stories, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture that we would have otherwise missed out on. It was the perfect introduction to the city on our first day.
I highly recommend this tour as a top priority for anyone visiting Florence. Additionally, the gelato stop was a major highlight for me. We were treated to two delicious scoops of gelato at a charming café, with flavors made from real coffee, fruits, and other high-quality ingredients. It was a divine treat that added an extra touch of magic to an already wonderful tour.

Easy pace but covered... - Easy pace but covered lots of interest. Marathon caused some tricky road crosses but not too much of a hassle. Learned history (both general and a few less known parts) and got orientation to the Downtown to wander later. Early start was refreshing and avoided bigger crowds later in day. The gelato stop a pleasant and timely moment.

Highly recommend this tour to start your Florence visit! - Wondeful walking tour of Florence with Yulia. Highly recommend for your first or second morning of Florence, as it will add greatly to your appreciation of the streets you'll be wslking back and forth on for your stay and the remarkable history and context you might otherwise miss. Yulia was a fantastic guide and perfect tour leader. We would highly recommend. Florence is such a bustling city of tourists, lights and sound that having a tour of the downtown and history adds remarkably to the vacation, much like having a museum tour. We are so happy to have done this tour to start off our stay in Florence.

Great tour with Federica - Really enjoyed Federica’s tour. She was very engaging and knowledgeable. Our only regret was doing the tour later in our stay. If we had done it upfront, it would have given us a bunch of great ideas of what to tour for the rest of our stay. Thank you Federica!

Do this tour your first full day if possible in Florence. - Our guide was great. We were all wired up with headphones and we could hear her clearly. She spoke excellent English. She gave a wonderful tour of the main sights of Florence as well as background and historical information along the way. Well worth the time and money.

Bad experience - Bad instructions for meeting up - bad customer service. I would not use this company again. No way to reach a live person. Tour guide was a no show.
