This was the best tour (with the best tour guide, Charles) that I have ever taken! The story telling over 3 hours weaving art, history, philosophy and politics was incredible. Thank you Charles and Walks!

Charles was a great tour guide. I felt as though he was weaving a fact based story and not just reciting facts. You could tell that he was passionate about the subject.

Christiano was amazing! He knew so much and could answer all of our obscure questions.
He did a wonderful job guiding us through David's Michaelangelo, explaining the history and the process. The skip the line tickets was worth it as well!
He guided us through the town and had a lot of interesting things to say highlighting the artwork and history of the town.
Thanks so much Christiano!
