What are people saying about Florence

Matthew_K, Jul 2026

This is a great tour, but...

This is a great tour, but I definitely suggest doing the Uffizi part as well! Giada was an amazing guide - she was knowledgeable about the histories, subject matter, and perspectives of the pieces. It really made it enjoyable to hear how and why these artworks came to be. Would love to tour the first floor of the Uffizi with her!

Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti Wines Day Tour from Florence

Janessa_T, Jul 2026

Absolutely lovely day...

Absolutely lovely day across the Tuscany region with Constantino and Teresa. We learned the history, had time to explore the towns a bit on our own, and enjoyed a lovely wine tasting. It would be nice to have more time in the towns but it’s really not possible with the schedule so I am not at all upset. This is a lovely way to visit if you choose not to rent a car.

Private Golf Cart Tour in Florence

Tarrel_H, Jul 2026

Great golf cart tour

It was super hot in Italy so the golf cart tour was a perfect way for us to get around to see things that we wouldn’t have ever gotten to see. Our driver was excellent. He explained all of the landmarks and history so well and gave us time to get out of the cart, walk around, take pictures and explore. Highly recommend.

Florence in a Day: Skip the line David, Uffizi, Duomo & City Tour

Leslie_W, Jul 2026

Great time despite the heat!

Annico (hope I spelled that right) was our amazing guide and did an awesome job walking us through the city’s main historical attractions. Even though it was seriously hot, she made an effort to walk us down shaded paths and kept us entertained with her jokes and funny stories about Florentine history and culture. Skip the line for the museums is definitely worth it and it was helpful knowing the context behind several art pieces as well as interesting to discover fun tidbits about how they were made. I like that the tour came with an audio set, that Annico was attentive in getting to know our names and where we were from, and that she made sure to keep us all together and follow the path of least resistance in crowded areas. Overall, a very knowledgeable and funny guide who provided a worthwhile tour for first timers in the city.

Best of Florence: Small Group Tour Skip-the-Line David & Accademia with Duomo

John_O, Jul 2026

Our tour guide was...

Our tour guide was AMAZING! She taught us so much about not only the sites, but the area itself. Accademia with David was amazing, and she gave us so many other perspectives on the scupture and things to looks at that otherwise we wouldve missed. Afterwards she gave us some amazing dining options for genuine local cuisine, not the new places that looked old. **Tip, try to avoild going in Summer. This was ALL walking, mostly in direct sunlight

Florence Vespa Tour: Tuscan Hills, Food and Chianti Wine

Michelle_L, Jul 2026

Miri was an amazing guide...

Miri was an amazing guide for our Vespa tour. She patiently walked us through Vespa 101 and made sure we were all comfortable driving. One of my friends was too uncomfortable driving the Vespa, so Miri set her up with a micro Fiat. We set off at a good pace following each other through the beautiful countryside, stopped to take in some view and Miri shared some interesting insights to the area. The meal was at a cute countryside location and was simple and satisfying. Overall it was a fun experience!

Tuscany Tour: Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano + Lunch & Wine Pairing

Richard_C, Jul 2026

Scenic Tuscany

A wonderful experience of Tuscany, our guide Roberta was lovely giving lots of information along the way, the wine tasting is a must and although the day was long it didn't feel like it with well balanced stops throughout the day the only minor negative was we didn't go up the the leaning tower so you need to be strategic in buying your tickets in advance as it has time slots, oh and remember to wear comfortable walking shoes as there is a lot of walking!!!

Uffizi Gallery Early Morning Entry - Guided Small Group Tour

Hollienoel_H, Jul 2026

Great stories, personality, and convenience.

Catarina was an AMAZING guide. It was lovely to walk right in (literally skipping the huge lines), and then she led us through the Medici family history and how Italy navigated its way from the early Roman Empire, the dark ages, and the renaissance. She pointed out hidden details in paintings and sculptures that helped deepen the stories of the subjects and the artists. Communication with the tour operator was also great. I would recommend this tour to anyone! Even my teenage kids enjoyed it.

Uffizi & Accademia Timed Entry: Small Group Duomo Walking Tour

This was a great tour...

This was a great tour that started at Accademia and ended at uffizi. We saw the highlights and it moved quickly. The tour guide was hard to understand at times but overall had a ton of knowledge and provided many details. It was very hot so I recommend doing this tour in the early morning hours.

Florence Day Trip: Pisa, San Gimignano and Siena with Lunch

Tracey_L, Jul 2026

Amazing Day In Tuscany with a Superb Crew

We had a fantastic time on this bus tour through Tuscany! Our guide, Emma, was incredibly knowledgeable and impressively shared detailed information in three different languages so everyone on board felt included. The bus driver did a phenomenal job; he navigated the roads with total ease, making our family feel completely safe. The itinerary was excellent, featuring stops in Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa with a lunch stop at a winery. At each stop, times to return to the bus were communicated perfectly, giving us the freedom to explore on our own. Highly recommend!

Small-Group Wine Tasting Experience in the Tuscan Countryside

Teri_B, Jul 2026

Memorable wine excursion

We were quickly greeted by our tour guide, Jason, who did a great job trying to liven up our heat drenched group on the way to the winery. The ride was a welcome relief from the heat outside. We visited two wineries a short drive outside of Florence. They both had wonderful hosts who shared the history of the wineries and information about how the wines were made. Each winery location had its own distinct style from modern aesthetics and small productions wines at the first location to the ancient characteristics reminiscent of the Tuscany region one might expect to find in Italy. Villa Ilangi was the first winery and our host was winemaker himself. I absolutely love the 2025 Mantile Rosso and I am kicking myself that I didn't order any while I was there, but I think there is a reason I held on to the information sheet. After all, wine makes a great birthday gift to myself, right?! Those are the small details though. The part of the experience that really stood out is that our guide, Jason, curated an experience where people from all over the world came together and shared a few hours of connection, sharing wine and stories. It was a lovely day to remember the humanity of people and their personal stories that brought them there that day. It was a wonderful day that will forever be part of our memories in Italy.

Private Golf Cart Tour of Florence Michelangelo & Panoramic Hills

Andrew_C, Jun 2026

Panoramic views of Florence

Ayman gave us a wonderful personal tour of the panoramic views of Florence. He also took us to the Catholic church at the top of the hill to see some of the very old artifacts. We finished with a walk in the ancient Roman Amphitheater which is flanked by the small Roman temples (ruins) and Roman baths. I'd highly recommend this tour as a way to get a panoramic view of Florence with the bonus of the church and ancient ruins. The Amphitheater is still used today for concerts.
