She is not only the most knowledgeable tour guide I have ever met in my life, she is a national treasure. Accept no substitutes. 2012-01-07 Scotty , USA A good trip. They covered the major attractions of Florence. The tour guide was excellent. 2011-12-17 RASNA B , The tour guide were great. They had a very in depth knowledge of Florence and helped us understand the history and beauty of Florence. 2011-12-09 Tamio C , A great introduction to Florence - with all the major attractions covered. Rosalind was an absolute star - very knowledgeable and entertaining. 2011-11-14 Stephen S , This tour was a great introduction to Florence. It was perfect! The views above Florence were extraordinary! 2011-10-30 Jennifer S , What a wonderful place Florence is. We really enjoyed all the information our guide told us. Seeing the real David and not the numerous copies around Florence was amazing. I can't believe just how big it is and the unfinished works lead your mind to so many conclusion. I would recommend this tour to people that have a short time in Florence like we did and want to see as much as you can. 2011-10-24 Anita B , Australia This was a perfect way to see some of the key sights in comfort with an informed and personable guide. 2011-10-24 Dianne M , I don't often give full makes to events or tours but the full day tour in Florence was remarkable. I guess it helps when you have a wonderfully cultural and beautifully adorned gem like Florence to show off to bedazzled out of towners like us. Florence is a real gift from God. Our guides Fabio and Rosa (we did the full day tour) whisked us around with passion and dignity. Their wise and skilled description of so many exquisite works of art made me want to learn more. I studied Florence and Renaissance Art and Architecture at university and in true arrogance believed I knew a lot about Florence. But wow how little did I know. The ease in which Fabio and Rosa explained the Florentine passion and vision the more I felt like a school boy discovering Superman comics for the first time. What an adventure. Adored every second of the two tours. They were well organized and and extremely well chaperoned. I will be doing them again on our next visit. 2011-10-20 bucky ,
