“Chiara was amazing - such a knowledgeable and engaging lady. She conveyed so much information in her tales of Florence and its history, we could have listened to her for hours! the tour was over all too quickly. Can't recommend Chiara and this tour enough - if you only do one thing in Florence, take this tour, you learn a lot about the history of Florence in a most enjoyable way. Be aware that the tour is free but significant tips (amount of your choice) are required but well worth it.”

“Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a tremendous amount of information about what we were seeing. We learned a lot and had a very enjoyable experience. Our only issue with the 4 hour tour was there was no bathroom break. We were only given 10 minutes at the first stop Academia to go look at the exhibits and take a bathroom break - and the bathroom line was at least a 20 minute wait - so it was impossible to go use the toilets. There was also no stop for a drink, we were pretty parched by the end of the tour.”

“This tour is long (5 hours) but worth it. Comprehensive look at highlights in Florence with great historical context. Fredericka was excellent! Accademia (David) entry was quick and easy, same with Uffizi. Nice hour for lunch, Fredericka recommended a great spot where I had best risotto ever. Last hour, we started to run out of gas, but the tour was excellent overall.”
Review of Florence’s Accademia, Uffizi, city sights, and Tuscan lunch tour, with honest advice on value, pacing, guides, and logistics.
“Out of the 8 tours we did in Italy, this was by far our least favorite. Not necessarily because it's a bad tour---it just wasn't for us. The day was very cold and many of the stops we did could have been done on our own or with a cheaper tour. The skip the line portion is definitely worth it but our tour guides switched about 3 times and was done in multiple languages we understand demand, this just was not ideal compared to other tours we had taken. Through the Accademia gallery, it was honestly hard to stay in tune with the guide we got because she did not…”
