Reviews
We actually did this tour on our final full day and wished we had done it first. It put the city into context and we saw places we may have wandered past but never appreciated.
Sibilla was an excellent guide and the small group meant no headphones, just conversation and the opportunity to ask questions.
Our appreciation of Florence changed over the duration of the tour through knowledge and an excellent, knowledgeable guide in Sibilla.
Take the tour ....... you will not regret it.
