Sebastian great for Walking Tour

We booked the walking tour around Florence and the tour of the Florence Duomo. What we hadn't realised is that these were two separate tours so this is a review of two halves. The walking tour - Sebastian was excellent. We were so lucky to find ourselves the only two people on the tour so we were able to move at pace and cover everything we wanted. He was personable, with excellent English and would thoroughly recommend. We then had a half hour break between the two tours and I have to be honest, we were not impressed with the lady who did the Duomo Tour. It was a very busy tour, she was difficult to hear through the headphones and the tour wasn't particularly interesting. In honesty she didn't seem that enthusiastic which was in stark contrast to Sebastian who was full of history and stories.

An amazing experience at Flash Hotel!

My stay at Flash Hotel was absolutely wonderful. While the entire hotel is great, the restaurant truly stands out. As a guest, I was thoroughly impressed by the incredible quality and variety of the food. The restaurant team deserves a huge compliment for their hard work and top-notch service—they made Reinaldo's dining experience truly memorable. I will definitely be back!
