Se had such a fantastic time exploring Florence with Alice! The tour was engaging, well-paced, and full of interesting stories about the city’s history and landmarks. Alice is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We visited the Duomo, the Baptistery, Giotto’s Bell Tower, Medieval District , Signoria Square, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio,Pitti palace and I felt like I really got to know the heart of Florence. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence, whether it’s your first time or not. A truly memorable experience! Grazie Alice
