I definitely liked seeing the David. I have heard great things about Florence and the experience was great. I think that the tour could probably get back a little later so there would be some extra free time to actually look around.

It would have been nice to stop somewhere for breakfast since we had to leave so early. Could also have had more time in the Gallery. Otherwise it was quite nice.

The trip to Florence was beautiful. However, we felt time was an issue (we needed more of it!).

Watch out for the reclining seats on the tour bus. You won't have much room at all for your legs. Other than that, the tour was excellent in every way.

We had a really good day. We were collected outside the door of our accommodation and left back there. Food was good. And we got to see the most important parts of Florence! A must do.

A good tour, but we had some downtime because of museum scheduling, which led to an unnecessary hurry-up feeling. Still, we felt we benefited from it, and got to experience Florence.

This was too rushed, especially for a mixed language tour. It seemed like a lot of time was wasted speaking in the different languages.

We spent too much time on the bus and too much time at the halfway point. Too much of this tour is dedicated to the stop and our presentation at the leather store and jeweler. It is a definite set-up, and it cost us time to see Florence. We only had an hour in Florence, really. Our guide was arrogant and he did not field many questions. He even tried to dissuade my wife from asking questions, saying it would take too much time. He could have said less and just answered her question. We also felt like we did not have enough time in the gallery. Michelangelo's David was great, but we did not have much time to see other works of art. The food was fine.

our guide wasn't great, but we got to see the Statue of David, which was the main reason to go.

Our tour guides were insufficient and not competent. They almost lost people in the crowds and made little effort to keep people in view. The tour had too much driving and not enough touring.

We did not get as much information as we would have liked. The tour was very basic.

This tour felt extremely rushed and we would have liked to spend a bit more time seeing other sights in the city.

Florence guide was mechanical, could have been a recording. Only Japanese language guide from Rome took any real interest in participants needs. Not having the bus stop at Piazzale Michelangelo for a Florence overview was a negative. We took a taxi so that our grandkids could see the city from above.

I could have used another hour or so in free time. The lunch was poor, and I had to pay for water. Wine I can understand paying for, but water?

What a day this was. I really didn't like the fact that we had to spend our precious time in a leather factory shop. It was way overpriced and I wonder if the guide doesn't get a kickback from the leather store. The guide did not give us good information about when and where we would meet at the end of time. She also walked so fast through town and on 4 occasions lost people. The information about the trip said we would have time to shop, we had about 15 minutes. I do not recommend this trip at all, a waste of money.
