Emilio was very friendly and had very good explanations. He was on time and the tour was just as described. I highly recommend it.
Dear Mr Eduardo, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words! I'm truly glad you enjoyed the tour and found the explanations helpful. It was a real pleasure spending a beautiful December day with you and your family. I hope to welcome you back to Florence for another adventure soon! Warm regards, Emilio"
This day trip was really beautiful and was our favorite thing that we did in Italy. Emilio was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was also very sweet for helping my elderly mother down steep hills and stairs when my arm got tired. The places we went were magical and I just felt like we stepped back in time. We appreciated that our guide was flexible and didn't mind that we did a wine tasting in Monteriggioni. Thanks for a wonderful time!!
Thank you for your review, hope to have you next time for another tour. Best wishes Emilio
