The meeting point was exactly where the tour details said it would be. We were checked off on the list and at the appointed time we met our guide. The guide was engaging and gave us some great insights to what we were looking at. We were able to hear everything she said because of the microphone/headset system that she/we were using. Once she had completed her part of the guided tour, we were free to do our own thing. Although it was busy, it didn't feel as busy as the Uffizi Galleries which was absolutely no fun. I would recommend this tour experience.

It was an adventure. No idea where to get on the bus. Website useless. I called the phone number " our office is closed on Sunday". I am glad I didn't throw my phone on the pavement and stomp on it a dozen times. Once we were able to figure out a jump on location, the bus was clean, staff professional and we got to see Florence better than I thought possible. Make finding jump on spots easier to find, you have a great bus

Great way to see the sights and get out at what takes your fancy. Two comprehensive circuits of the city, including up to Fiesole, which was nice. Just watch out as some of the earphone sockets do not work.

It's magnificent to look at and simply perfect. A model that everyone—even those who aren't enthusiasts—should see. Truly a magnificent creation.

Seeing Florence as it is from the street level. Architectural beauty, people, topography, traffic. It was great to hear about it's history via the audio headsets too. However traffic noise and delays did affect our enjoyment of the event.

Skipping the line at the Accademia Gallery is the only way to go. The statue of David is magnicifient. It really is a must see. Gayla was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed taking the Line B route and going to see Fiesole. Buses can great crowded at the main pick up spot.

We boarded at stop ten on Line A, but the bus didn't arrive at the scheduled time, and we ended up waiting 45 minutes for it. The tour itself was nice, but I would have liked more information and facts. One slightly annoying thing was the classical music played between the audio commentary segments. Above all, it was much too loud, so I constantly had to turn the volume down, only to turn it back up whenever someone started speaking again.

The information provided about Florence was well-proportioned and informative. On the negative side, although the bus had a rain cover, it had large holes in several places, and in one spot, easily 30 x 100 cm was missing. Because of this, those seats couldn't be used, and the attendant arrived far too late with a roll of paper towels to dry the seats. It's a shame that so little attention is paid to details like that.

We took the blue route. That was very good. When we later tried to take the red route, no bus arrived. That was disappointing.
