Good for tourist to visit church.
Going one on one with my guide gave me an opportunity to feel his passion for the subject. I learned much about the Medici dynasty and how Michaelangelo is such an important part of Florence’s history. We spent time in the magnificent basilica learning about the important people who are interned there. And finally visited Michaelangelo’s house which also was full of history. My guide was friendly and highly knowledgeable. What more could I say! Molto bene!
Thank you Donna!
