Got to meet point 20 minutes early. Waited 30 minutes. No sign of guide. No people in area holding signs of indicating they were a guide. Checked and was 100% in the right place. Waited 30 minutes than another 30 minutes responding to emails saying the guide was trying to phone me. My phone didn't ring once. Complete let down. Only got 1 star because I can't give zero.

The tour company, My Tour in Italy, is not reputable and professional. My group arrived at the meeting location on-time and proceeded to find to group. The location is a statue in very large Square in the middle of the of Florence. But we still couldn't find the tour guide or group. They could have offered communication to the route, but no. They could have offered to reschedule, as I request, but no. They simply ceased all communication. They take your money and disappear. Bad rep for a beautiful city.
Highlights were pointed out. Friendly guide but accent was thick. Can accomplish same with a street map.
Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the highlights of the tour and found our guide to be friendly. Regarding your comment on the guide’s accent, we would like to assure you that all our guides are specialized and licensed in the languages they conduct tours in. They bring years of experience and a deep knowledge of the local history and culture, which is something a street map alone cannot provide. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience on a future tour. Best regards, My Tour in Italy team.
Our guide never showed up. We also were not able to contact them at all. We were contacted late that they were at the meeting point and they couldnt find us which was funny because we had been waiting at the meeting point for over 25minutes. I had received no calls, texts, or emails from them. I requested a refund because of this.
The walk was excellent. Our guide Gloria was very knowledgeable and gave us great tips for places to visit in our own time.

Our guide was excellent! She explained all so well and was clearly passionate about her city. We felt included as if we were part its history. She presented a mix of knowledge and warmth for us as visitors. We took 4 tours while in Florence, but this walking tour was our favorite. Thank you for sharing your beautiful city with us and making us feel at home.

Our guide was very soft spoken and hard to understand. There wasn’t much charisma or excitement leaving our kids somewhat disengaged.
