Tour was cancelled

The tour was postponed by a day, moving it to the following day. We were only in Florence that one day. We were disappointed. I truly hope we get our money back.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Dear Customer, On that day, San Corece closed without informing Santa Croce management. We are really sorry. We can't do anything. Again sorry for the inconvenience.

Very bad experience.

Arturo_V, May 2023

They cancel our tour and change by the afternoon. Zero comunication. Very bad service. I need my money refound

Our tour guide was witty, knowledgeable and a great story teller. Would definitely recommend. Santa Croce is beautiful and full of history. The one hour tour was perfect.

Magnifique!

Joseph_D, Jul 2022

The lady who conducted our tour was great and the Santa Croce Basilica is the most impressive church in Florence.

Visite de la Basilique d'une beauté in royale. Véritable panthéon des grand hommes de Florence. Visite en espagnol avec un guide Guido très intéressant et très sympathique.
