Anastasia was a wonderful tour guide. She taught us history art and the culture of Italy. Amazing tour. I highly recommend this adventure.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We are truly happy to hear that you enjoyed this experience and that Anastasia was able to share not only history and art but also a bit of the soul of this incredible city. It was a real pleasure having you with us - we hope Florence will stay in your heart for a long time. Warmest regards from all of us, John – Walks in Town Team
The tour with Anastasia is wonderful - even for a group who doesn't know its art very well! Or should I say, especially for that type of group! The 7 of us enjoyed the Accademia and Cathedral Museum - both its history and art highlights. The Dome climb was the highlighted extra challenge. Anastasia injected her passion about Florence history and artistry that made the tour fun and more like infotainment.
Dear Paula, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that Anastasia was able to make the tour engaging and enjoyable, even for a group new to art. Her passion for Florence’s history and artistry truly shines, and we're glad it added that extra layer of "infotainment" to your experience. It sounds like you all had a memorable time exploring the Accademia, Cathedral Museum, and conquering the Dome climb! We hope to welcome you and your group on another adventure soon. Warm regards, Walks in town
