Completo

Fuimos un grupo reducido, sólo 3 personas para el recorrido por la calle y alguna más para la visita al Palacio, lo que hizo el tour más cercano. La guía muy competente y colaboradora. Es un tour ideal para el lunes, cuando están cerrados los museos. Muy recomendable

Every bit of the tour was wonderful!

We started out going to Palazzo Michelangelo than to a Medieval town where we had the world famous gelato then onto a one hour horse back riding through the vineyards and olive groves. Our last adventure ended with a tasty gracious lunch at a wine tasting school. Every part of this tour was exciting and adventurist. Thank you for making our trip to Florence memorable.

Espectacular !!!

Yo hablo español y a pesar de ello disfrute del evento, ya que hay pocas comunicaciones, la comida de buen nivel, obvio que dan preferencia a los grupos, éramos dos parejas y nos pusieron al fondo, lo compensaron poniendo en la mesa una botella de vino tinto y otra de vino blanco
