Antonio, our guide, led us to each stop featuring the delicacies with great expertise and a warm smile. He told us many interesting facts about the origins and background of the products. Everything tasted wonderful. We highly recommend the tour with Antonio.

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.

A nice tour of the city's sights. What I didn't like was how infrequently the Red Line runs. An hour is too long. It's impossible to do it in a single day, which means you have to buy a 2-day pass.

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.
