Impressive tour by "Annette M." with Babylon Tours who was quite obviously well qualified and prepared. She shared a wealth of expert commentary and reflections for the artwork and in depth and detailed knowledge of the history of Florence, Italy, Italians, buildings, monuments, and statues. Although it was not said, Annette must be a historian. In addition, she was very easy to talk with her and a great host.

Not enough added value versus independently viewing the sites. Logistics at the Uffizi Gallery were challenging.

Elizabeth_B, Apr 2026
Not our favorite tour. I took a tour a year ago of the David Academy that was truly marvelous - a lot of local information that I didn't previously know. Not so much this one. Also, after a break for lunch, you meet back for the Uffizi Gallery tour. The lines were crazy, it took us almost an hour to get into the Gallery (with timed tickets), and then we felt rushed through the gallery.

Expensive. But Worth It!

NICHOLAS_W, Sep 2025
Expensive. But the tour guide did an outstanding job and the tour content was very interesting & enjoyable. So overall, we felt that it was worth the money paid.

Wonderful time with Eleanora

ANDREW_Z, Aug 2025
Our guided tour of Florence with Eleonora was a wonderful experience. Despite the city being busy, it exceeded our expectations. Eleonora was an amazing guide - incredibly knowledgeable about all the sites and art, and skilled at making the information relatable for our children. She was also flexible when we stopped for food or souvenirs. It was incredibly hot, and she was very mindful of our comfort. We would absolutely recommend this tour.

Fantastic Art History Tour

Amy_P, Jul 2024
Our guide Annette was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable about art and history of Florence, and added a personalized touch highlighting key areas of interest for our small group. She hit the highlights of the museums allowing us to enjoy the museum without getting overwhelmed with information! An absolute MUST do in Florence!

Wonderful tour with Rubana

Hugo_M, Jul 2024
It was a wonderful time! Rubana was so helpful and friendly with our children. We learned so much and she was very helpful.

Amazing Annette

Richard_C, Apr 2024
My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful time with our tour guide, Annette, who was incredibly knowledgeable, patient (we had so many questions), and generous with her time. She masterfully curated our visits to the Academy and Uffizi, and pointed out so many things during our walk through Florence. Annette’s depth of knowledge was astounding, and she was so kind and friendly. We could not have asked for a better experience and we recommend her wholeheartedly!!! Also, Babylon Tours was very communicative and helpful in advance of the tour. We simply emailed them through the Viator app and received prompt responses (calls, texts, and emails)! We found this high degree of attentiveness very reassuring.

HOLY CROSS HALL HOGS INVADE TUSCANY

JOSEPH_A, Jun 2022
We had group of 13 people which we split into two , with 2 tour guides. Our bus was late arriving from Montepulciano, but the guides stayed the course and were patient waiting for us. Both groups voiced resounding praise for the friendliness, knowledge, and patience of the guides. This was the best tour we have ever taken, and that includes for 7 trips to ITALY.
