We had a fantastic time on the tour. Our guide Eleanora was absolutely wonderful, as she shared so much information about the wine, the food, and Florence in general. We all felt like we were experiencing the area with a friend, not just with a hired guide.

Our tour guide Teddy was fantastic. Her knowledge of the history and architecture of Florence coupled with her exuberance for food and wine pairings made the tour exceptional!

Waited a bit before the guide showed up without the Tour Guy flag we were looking for. We thought we had the details wrong about meeting location. A bit stressful. Lori was pleasant and a bit knowledgeable. She wasn't local to the area for that long. The walking was easy. The restaurants were nice and we were seated in a separate area so we could converse together. The food in each location was delicious. Not the best to be had in Florence but certainly a nice variety. We saw wonderful buildings along the way.

A group of eight of us waited 1/1/24 under the horse statue in Florence for nearly an hour and no guide showed up to lead the tour. We had no communication with the company before the tour to warn us there was a problem. We’ve had no one from the company contact us since yesterday evening. We’ve had American Express dispute the charge.
