Excellent walking tour of Florence - A well paced walking tour and very interesting and informative clear English speaking guide. There were about 25 in our group which he managed well. A great introduction to the important places to visit with the history of each. Tips on what to do, where to eat certain specialty foods and the different Italian dishes to try whilst in Florence.
