Amaizing tour in Floreance during my solo trip in Italy. As it was private I had the opportunity to ask all the questions I wanted to my guide. She inspired me and made me passionate about Italian art. I loved how she explained the things very clearly and easy to understand. Certainly not my last time in Florence.
