From Canada- my first time in Florence. I loved this tour. I learned so much. very informative. lovely kind and brilliant guide. thankyou
We had the radio and everything and were just about to go in to the museum when my partner realized he had misplaced his ticket. Nobody would do anything to help us even though we had an email confirming it etc it all meant nothing. The tour guide and the people at the museum were so unkind it really broke my heart and totally ruined our trip to Florence.
We had the tour of the Uffizi with Irina, which she did with a lot of enthusiasm. We learned a lot from her and had a lot of fun! I can recommend this tour with a clear conscience!
We took the tour of the Galleria dell'Accademia with Olga Emchenko and can highly recommend it. Olga captivated us with her enthusiasm for art history and shared many interesting details about Michelangelo and his work, including his famous work, the David statue.
