Wir haben zwei ganz fantastische geführte Touren mit Giacomo gemacht. Eine durch die Uffizien und eine durch die Altstadt von Florenz. In den Uffizien hat Giacomo uns sehr spannend mit vielen Annekdoten und Legenden die Kunst der Rennaissance näher gebracht und wir konnten viel Wissenswertes sowohl über die Bilder, als auch über die Medici und die Künstler selbst erfahren. Am nächsten Tag haben wir dann eine Tour durch die Altstadt von Florenz mit Giacomo gemacht. Wir haben uns nicht nur die großen Plätze und Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt angesehen und jede Menge Informatives erfahren, sondern haben auch viele kleine versteckte Geheimnisse der Stadt mit ihm entdeckt und auch hier wieder interessante Geschichten erfahren. Auch andere kulturelle und kulinarische Tips kamen nicht zu kurz. Rundum gelungene Touren mit Tourguide mit viel Humor- jederzeit wieder - absolut empfehlenswert...
