Florence: David, Cathedral & City Highlights Guided Tour

Unsere Führerin hat uns anschaulich und mit viel Wissen und Charme die Highlights der Stadt näher gebracht. Sie war gut organisiert und wir mussten außer beim Besuch des Domes nirgendwo lange anstehen. Es war eine kleine Gruppe mit 6 Personen. Insgesamt eine sehr interessante und kurzweilige Stadtführung. Der Preis ist allerdings im Nachhinein betrachtet nicht gerechtfertigt.

Marco was a great guide! He not only knew his information but he was passionate to share it. The only issue we had was not with Marco, but a family in our group with small kids kept holding us up as they arrived late and would wander off and their kids were clearly bored. I wouldn’t recommend this tour for very small children but I would highly recommend this tour. Very informative!

Our tour guide, Francesca, was excellent - knowledgeable, understandable, and thorough. When you see the lines of the visitors who got their own ticket and aren’t with a group, you’ll be thankful to get into the Accademia with a group just to get out of the sun! Obviously seeing The David is iconic, so that is worth admission. Then we got to see the beautiful basilica and duomo - we even got to climb to the top of the bell tower (over 400 steep steps and then back down - a challenge worthy of an extra scoop of gelato afterwards!) The only thing I would caution is that 2 hours was plenty of time to do the tour - we paid for an extra hour and our guide was kind enough to walk us into the baptistery and over to the river, but it wasn’t really worth the cost of the extra hour.

Andrea our tour guide was fantastic! She brought Florence past and present to life. Most people only did the Academia (David) and the Duomo, but we did an extra hour with the City highlights. Plan accordingly because our 10am start meant we didn't finish until 2ish with a 1:30 timed Giotti bell tower climb. This tour included the Giotti pass that allows access to the Duomo, baptistry, museum and archeological basement anytime 72 hrs after the bell climb. It does not include the Duomo climb. Molte grazie Andrea!
