This is a great way to get a lot of good information about Florence and it’s history. Also, seeing the most iconic buildings. The guide was excellent, he gave information about restaurants and local suggestions. I highly recommend this tour. The time was perfect. Alexander was interesting, knowledgeable and always asked if anyone had questions.

He was a wonderful tour guide, great information and a great attitude. Relaxed and helpful. He told great stories, answered lots of questions easily and was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, gentle and humourous. I highly recommend Alessandro Martinuzzi for any tour in Florence!!

Armando superstar!!!! Ci ha intrattenuti, divertiti e soprattutto ci ha raccontato tanti aneddoti, eventi storici, etimologia delle parole, ci ha informati sui musei e i posti di interesse a Firenze! È stata una bellissima esperienza anche per noi che siamo fiorentini e abbiamo partecipato al tour per accompagnare due amici americani perchè ci ha raccontato tante cose alcune delle quali sconosciute anche a noi. Raccomandatissimo! Bravo Armando!!

Armando was an excellent tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the history and the art of Florence. There wasn’t one question that he couldn’t answer! He explained everything well and was not in the least boring - he really brought the history and the city to life. His recommendations for food were spot on! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wanted to get a perfect introduction to Florence.
