Not worth the time and money

Alicja_S, Oct 2023

The guide didn’t great us and didn’t give any introduction to the tour. Instead of 10:30 we started at 10:50- there were some organizational issues with other tour participants. Very impersonal and quite monotonous so even for us adults it was difficult to follow.

Nice & Easy

John_B, Sep 2020

We joined this walking tour because we wanted to discover Florence in a different way. We met our Guide at the first meeting point and we followed him during the itinerary until we got hungry and we decided to leave the tour and relax a little bit. Then thanks to the App we could locate the guide and reach him to continue our interesting itinerary in the historic centre. It was a funny experience that we had never tried before. Totally recommended!"

App innovativa e guida molto brava

Osvaldo_G, Sep 2020

Abbiamo acquistato il servizio 24 ore e lo abbiamo trovato molto innovativo e interessante. Con l App si ha la possibilità di scoprire Firenze in modo indipendente o localizzare le guide che fanno dei walking tour per la città durante tutto il giorno. Si ha 24 ore per usufruire del servizio guida! Laura molto brava, servizio assolutamente consigliato
