Exactly what we wanted! - This excursion suited us very well as the guide Lara gave us all the information and maps etc which allowed us then to explore Florence on our own which we thoroughly enjoyed. Everything went according to plan and our driver George was very competent and comfortable bus. Those who wished to have a guided walking tour could pay a little extra. Florence is a very walkable city so on our own suited our needs

Stress free day in Florence - This was totally worth it!! We lived our guide and they dropped us off in a perfect spot. We had 5 hours to enjoy beautiful Florence and they even offered a guided tour but we went on our own. They were on time and the nicest kindest people! We got off our cruise at 9:00 and made it to the most with time to spare. Just amazing!!! would highly recommend! Got back to the cruise ship with time to spare! Thank you

A Flavour of Florence - Very easy to pick up the coach from just outside La Spezia cruise terminal. Martina, our “guide” was very informative on the way to Florence, giving commentary as we made our way there. Pick up and drop off instructions were very concise and made good use of the map that was issued to us. Once again, Martina was excellent with this. We had a fabulous 5 hours or so exploring Florence, just about enough time to locate and see the major sites, and it gave us enough flavour of the city to make a decision about returning for a longer break there. A really good day out and well worth it. This is only the second time we have used Viator, 1st time 12 months ago in Sorrento, and on both occasions we have been delighted. Well done!!

Good value - We have visited Florence quite a few times in the past and wanted to see it again because nothing compares to the beauty of this city and its museums and attractions. We were on a cruise with Sun Princess and they charge twice what you do.

Good tour - Perfect pick up spot outside the cruise terminal building. 2hours coach to Florence. Drop off/pick up is at railway station is a 20 minute walk to centre! Plenty of time to see everything, good English speaking guide.

Easy trip in a worn out bus - Pick up was without a hitch. Bus was from the previous century. Not a lot of suspension and VERY uncomfortable seats. No cushioning. Tour guide was helpful but we left tour to self guide.

Uncomfortable - The tour guide was fun & wonderful, as well as the bus driver. The bus seats were small & uncomfortable, as well as no leg room, even for a small person
