You'll meet your friendly guide at the statue in Piazza della Santissima Annunziata. A representative will be there holding a sign with our company name on it.

It was very enjoyable. Got in to see David it started bad because they put me in a wrong group and I had to wait until my group got there but once I was in all was well.
Tour through the Old Florence was fun and I loved the city.
I will come back to Florence as I had not had my fill of Tuscan food.
Thank you.

Fabulous tour of Florence with just five people. Our guide, Nebojosa, is an artist with a superb grasp of historical and current Florence. He not only explained the significance of the pieces we saw in the Academy but also provided the historical context of what we saw in the city and he gave us plenty of recommendations for what else we should see while visiting. Very impressed with Nebojosa and money well spent for this tour.

Ishmael was a wonderful tour guide. We learned so much more with him than we would have just looking at sculptures on our own. The tour guy service made our tour easy and exactly what we were looking for.

I came to Florence ill-prepared and did not book my tickets in the Galleria dell’Acadamia well enough in advance. I was lucky to find this tour the night before that still had space, and it has turned into one of the highlights of my trip so far. Chiara was lovely, personable, and very well informed on art and the history of Florence. I got so much more out of my visit with her than I would have on my own and would highly recommend.
excellent tour

Our guide, with MFA from Accademia here in Florence was incredibly knowledgeable & informative. He gave us so much information about all the artists as well as other places to see. Also local knowledge - where to eat, best gelato (in his opinion) etc. He was fabulous and well worth the $$.

Nebojosa (our guide) explained everything very artistically. It felt like we were walking back in time in the history of Florence. Nebojosa is a very good story teller.

This was a great walking tour that covered some of the main sites and history of the city. Our guide, Caterina, shared her extensive knowledge and passion for her home town and made our trip a memorable experience! The only slight downside was that the quality of the audio on the over the ear headset provided was not always very clear compared to some other Tour Guy tours I’ve taken, which provided in-ear buds. Especially when walking through the noisy streets of the city.
