Excellent
Our tour of "Florence in a Day" on Mon. Nov. 8,2022 was wonderful! Our tour guide was interesting, and extremely knowledgeable as he took us through the Academy to see "David" and the "Imprisoned" stone sculptures by Michelangelo, the Duomo and through the Uffizzi Gallery. We learned so much about the different artists, their styles and art's evolutions through the Renaissance.
Thank you, and we look forward to more tours with Walks in the future.

Our tour guide Matt was so knowledgeable about art and history and his enthusiasm was infectious! We missed the beginning of the tour because of a logistical glitch on our part but figured out how to intercept them and he welcomed us in quickly and efficiently. It would have been helpful if there were a number to call to catch up to them, but it worked out. I learned so much and enjoyed the tour so much I hated to leave!

I signed up for the tour, Florence In A Day with David, Duomo, Uffizi & Walking Tour. I paid $100+ thinking this included, per the description, priority, skip-the-lines admission to Duomo and Uffizi. It did not. We did not go into the Duomo, barely walked by. I felt the company misrepresented the tour, an opinion shared by the entirety of the tour group, when we got around to discussing at lunch. I asked to be contacted by the company, was not, and I disputed the credit card charges, but for some reason was deemed responsible despite. Be warned. The tour guide was an amazing woman named Daniella, practically an art historian. Lovely, knowledgeable, friendly. Just great.

I was excited to take a tour which, per the title, would include priority admission to the Duomo in Florence. However, there was not only not priority “skip the lines” tickets, we did not go to the Duomo at all. Other than this the tour was great, particularly the guide, practically an art historian. I would recommend this with significant caution, which is that although the title of the tour includes David, Offizi, and Duomo, THERE IS NO DUOMO. This makes the price tag quite high.
