Per one customer who booked the Florence Private Tour: Renaissance, Famous Families & Hidden Gems, "This tour was a private tour with only our 5 family members participating and it was excellent! We were not part of a large group with hearing devices to hear the guide. It was more personable and easy to communicate with our guide. We were shown and told of many things we would have missed in a larger group tour. Thank you to our guide Martina! She was excellent!"
