“Guide www enthusiastic and knowledgeable but hard to understand. She kept letting her microphone drop- which was frustrating for one in our group that gas hearing problems. I did mention to her several times that we could not hear, but it became awkward after a while to constantly have to stop her and tell her to hold her mic to her mouth She also laughed after about every two sentences, which was a little frustrating We did have a great tour and appreciated the background info”

“We had a great tour with Elvis! The gallery is huge and a bit overwhelming to do on your own, so it was great to have him guide us through and highlight the most important/notable pieces there. He had great stories and interesting facts, and I learned much more on this tour with him than I would have otherwise. Plus, he gave us all headsets that he spoke into so that we didn’t have to crowd around him each time to hear what he was saying, which was nice! I definitely recommend doing a tour with him.”

Review of Florence’s private Duomo tour, with priority access, expert guides, the Opera Museum, Baptistery, dome climb, and Giotto’s Bell Tower.
“When they say your guide will meet you in front of the main door of the Cathadrel, it’s literally in the square in front of the entrance. It was windy and rainy the day of this tour. We showed up 20 minutes early to be sure we found the spot and also not to be late for our tour. With the square packed full of people it was hard for us to identify a tour guide. At our exact tour time, I left the area we found shelter in from the rain to see if I could locate our tour guide. It helps in the app if you put a…”
