“A great tour to take your first steps in Florence”

Tour to be planned perhaps in the first few days of visiting Florence to get a smattering of facts and places. Very useful the headset provided. Lots of information provided, perhaps a few extra trivia items to arouse more attention.

“Perfect”

We booked a day in advance and found a place. Although we were about 30 people there was no problem with understanding. The headphones worked very well and our guide was very entertaining. He enthused us without filling us with dates, names or events that we would forget by the end of the day! He was able to keep our attention and even "quizzed" us ????... Highly recommend
