Antonio is a great story teller!

This is a really informative walk and talk around Florence starting with stories about Ferdinand in the square we met and the history of his family. There were stories around the Duomo, a heartbreaking story about a bomb in 1993 before ending at Ponte Vecchio with stories about the Monster of Florence. All were stories I did not know, told so well by Antonio. This is a walk where you pay what you feel is right at the end. It upsets me that some people say lots of thanks and say how good it was but do not pay. This is his living. If you do this tour, please pay accordingly. He takes cash and can take card as well. It says between 10-50 euros on the link. I think this is fair as the tour was over 2 hours long with radio/earpieces provided. Enjoy!

A small, but deep cut of several legends of Florence

Amazing experience & passionate narration through a beautiful city! Very low cost, about 2.5 hours, depending on your guide. Handles some grim topics but good for any kid above 10 or so, I'd say
