Just the right of time and detail - Our tour guide Stephano was a really knowledgeable and was great at leading the tour. If was very easy to meet up w/ the tour. I actually was surprised at how much info and all the things we saw. Stephano added small details about some other things like the chocolate store across the street from the New Market and was very friendly. We had a really good time and would definitely recommend this tour if you want to learn and experience City Center w/o spending a whole day.

Wonderful intro to Florence - We took this walking tour on our first full day in Florence and it was great way to help us get our bearings for places to visit later. Our guide from City Wonders, Paulina, was great. She imparted her knowledge and even gave tips about how to enjoy and appreciate local offerings and specialties. We started in the courtyard of Uffizi Gallery and walked past different points of interest to Santa Maria di Fiore cathedral. Along the way, Paulina shared history of the city, the Medici family, and public art pieces and their significance to the political history of Florence. We then took a quick break before entering Galleria dell'Academia. she gave us a tour of key sections and ended with a history of Miachaelangelo's David. We left the tour feeling more knowledgeable and confident to explore more on our own later.

Good but not what was listed in ad - Information was interesting, but don’t feel like it matched what was in description. Duomo and Effezi were listed but we skimmed over those and spent a lot of time on random things in the city

Just get tickets to Accademia - Talked for 1.5 hours at the square which was way too long. By the time we got to the Accademia we were already almost 2 hours into the tour. Waited in line for 20 minutes. Would have been better with less talking in the square and earlier time in Accademia.

Just buy tickets at the entrance to the academy - Not worth it. There was a misunderstanding on the location to meet... if you want to see the David , just buy tickets in front the academy.
