My wife and I arranged a private walking tour (English language) of the Florence (Firenze) city center and the
Academie (museum with Michaelangelo’s David) on a weekday in February. Our tour guide was Francesco and he was absolutely fantastic; it’s fair to say it was the best city tour we had ever been on. Francesco has been guiding for 30+ years and is a remarkable scholar of history, art, and culture and shared his wealth of knowledge and passion in an unassuming and relatable way. His English was beautiful and his insights of the city and its glorious art impeccable. We give Francesco our absolute highest and most delightful recommendation. We will recommend him to our friends visiting Florence and look forward to seeing him again on return trips.
