I made my own perfume , that was an experience!

Had a blast with my friends. It was fun doing something a little bit out of a normal activity of being a tourist walking through Florence seeing the sights. It was sweet and delightful. So much fun !! I loved it!!

The 3 singers were wonderful and the setting was pretty.

It was a unique experience in a lovely villa. I wish it could have been a smaller group so we could see better. I do wish I could have paid less like my 3 friends did.

Very informative guide covered all the highlights in central Verona.

Our guides very informative and had a detailed knowledge of the history of Verona. The walking tour was just over 2.5hours and we covered all the main sights in the old part of Verona, and some not so well known areas. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a concise history of Verona.

Excellent choice to see the highlights of Florence in a day

We booked the Dan Brown Inferno tour in the morning and the Vasari Corridor and Uffizi tour in the same afternoon..... Vanessa our tour guide for both was just fascinating and very engaging with the whole group. We took our two 12 year old daughters and they were not looking forward to the day (being more interested in fashion than art) but they were captivated by her the entire day and made our enjoyment complete. Please thank her again directly And look forward to another tour next time we visit.
