Great tour of Florence - We had such a great time on our tour with Ricardo. Despite pouring rain, he kept the energy up! We learned a lot and felt introduced to the history of Florence and the major sites. Would definitely recommend this tour

Ricardo was my umbrella of knowledge - Ricardo was the bright sunshine we needed during the torrential downpour we experienced during the tour. I learned so much that I forgot it was raining. For the next few hours after the tour I continously wondered how I got so wet. That's how engaging Ricardo's stories were.

DO THIS TOUR!!! - I have done other free walking tours in other cities and find them to be fantastic and this one did not disappoint! We really enjoyed this walking tour! Our guide Michele - a certified guide but more importantly a wonderful story teller. This was not just a recitation of facts, figures and dates. These were stories told by a very knowledgeable person, well versed in Florentine history, but also in a very captivating and engaging manner. We loved this tour and didn't want it to end after the two hours. Michele also provided us with some tips and suggestions on where to eat and what to do, perhaps more like locals than tourists! He was even so kind as to answer a few lingering questions via WhatsApp. If we had had more time, we definitely would have sought him out for further tours! Great overview of Firenze and could not recommend more highly

Perfect tour to start your Florence experience. - I loved the tour! Learned so much more about the Medici family than the tv series. The explanation of architecture was really interesting. And how the world functioned 500 years ago was easier to imagine with Michel.
