Do it!! - Our tour guide Laura was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and fun! She showed us parts of the city we otherwise wouldn't have seen. She taught us about the history of the wine windows as well as historical buildings and sights along the way. You could tell she loved Florence and was super proud of the history.

Not enough window wine tasting - There was only one window wine tasting that actually happened. We were expecting at least 3 or more. We were showed a few windows but no wine tasting. The guide left the tour when we sat down for the wine tasting and appetizers which was just subpar.
