Our guide was great. She was ver knowledgeable about everything we say. The time went by very quickly. My only caution to others is when you get to the Vatican museums it’s the afternoon and the museum is very crowded.

A fantastic tour with a knowledgeable, funny, well-versed tour guide. Be prepared for the climb as it's a lot of stairs, but so worth it! The view from the terrace and the top of the dome was a highlight of being in Florence! This is well worth the ticket price...we all thoroughly enjoyed it!
