Traveler reviews
Book this tour!
We had an amazing tour experience in Florence! Seeing Michelangelo’s David first thing in the morning was truly unforgettable, and the private access to the Duomo terraces was absolutely spectacular. Our guide, Cristiano, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging—we learned so much about Florence, its history, art, and architecture. His expertise really made the experience special. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence!
fantastico!
My wife and I had the pleasure of having Emilia as our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and insightful. As we walked the street to Florence, we stopped at her favorite gelato place, Perché No? And she gave us great recommendations for dinner that night. My wife had to leave the tour early and Me and Emilia went to see David. Then she took me to a local mosaic workshop, which was super fascinating to see them create these pieces of art right in front of my eyes! I will recommend her to any of my friends who are going to be going to Florence in the near future! Thanks again Emilia!
Phenomenal Tour of David, Duomo, terraces
Cristiano was hands down the best LivTours guide I have had (hired them multiple times and cities, and all were great) but he was Incredibly knowledgeable, gracious and thoughtful with his explanations. He answered very difficult questions with ease, great interest and enthusiasm. He was the perfect tour guide. The experience was incredible!
Best Florence Experience
Silvia was incredibly knowledgeable. She managed to get us the best views before crowds got there and explained details we wouldn't even know to ask. The views from the terraces were amazing, and David first entry was absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend!
Highlights of Florence with the statue of David as the show stopper
Brenda did an amazing job showing us the highlights of Florence! She showed us all around the city and took us to see the famous David statue. Brenda was so kind and kept us in the shade as much as possible on this hot July day. She was an absolute pleasure to spend time with! I highly recommend this tour with Brenda!
