The experience was thoughtfully put together. Our guide Giacomo did an excellent job. He is knowledgeable & speaks very good English. The basilica is impressive.
What a fabulous experience. Loved the art, the church and the history. Our tour guide was Annette and she is incredibly knowledgeable, we learned ao much from her. The tour was paced well, did not feel rushed and we enjoyed every minute
Francesco was amazing. He made the whole experience com alive. He is highly knowledgeable and explained in detail all aspects of the occasion. Would highly recommend Francisco
Annette was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. Any questions we had during the tour Annette was able to answer. My son and I had a great time on this tour and would highly recommend it to someone visiting Florence.
Giacomo was an extraordinary guide who helped bring this 13th century church and its parishioners to life. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, funny and engaging. We would highly recommend this tour and Giacomo to anyone traveling to Florence.
Our tour guide, Michele, was very knowledgeable and helpful. He encourages participation and engagement. This was a great experience for all.
Michele was knowledgeable in history and an excellent tour guide!! My two sons 11 and 14 had an amazing time ! Michele encouraged their participation and they were able to share their knowledge from religion class in catholic school:)
Gicamo was the best tour guide we had in Italy by far! It felt like an art history and culture lesson and he made it FUN! What a great personality, full of knowledge, facts, & tidbits. A Florentine married to an American you would never know English was a second language. What an amazing experience!
