Florence Pass is the BEST!! - My wife and I have traveled all around the world and had the opportunity to spend the day with Maurizio of Florence Pass. He showed us his city and it was an amazing experience! As a born and raised Florentine his understanding of city and its art work is unsurpassed and he is by far the most knowledgeable and kind guide we have ever had. We couldn’t give Maurizio and Florence Pass higher praise!
