Florence: Rondleiding door het Palazzo Vecchio

‘Ivan the terrible’ was a fantastic tour guide, not only taking us through the Palazzo but also filling us in on added political context that helped piece everything together. He was very patients and kind throughout the tour, we loved him & his sense of humour! The palazzo itself is unreal, truly a must see.

Veronica was exceptional. So passionate about the subject matter and her detailed knowledge was amazing. We went at 4pm and there were just 4 of us which meant we didn't need headsets. It was pretty quiet which helped too. The organisation was very efficient, especially considering we only booked it that morning.

We booked this through Get Your Guide before we arrived in Florence and our tour was with Walks In Europe. Our guide Sarah was truly excellent, had extensive knowledge of the 'sites' visited, sharing a lot of information and insights we wouldnt have got from an audio guide, book, or reading the historical narratives by each area/artefact. Her easy approach made the whole tour really enjoyable, amusing at times and so, so very informative. With Sarah we were able to beat the line and our ticket also covered other Brunelleschi buildings (upto 72 hours after access) which we did, over subsequent days. The Accademia was outstanding. So much to take in. Breathtaking. The Cathedral Dome climb - 463 steps - was superb. The 360 views were, dare I say again, absolutely breathtaking. And the Cathedral Tour did not disappoint either with, obviously, different vistas but equally mesmerising.£220 for 2 for 3hrs expensive? No! great vfm. Also visited the hidden cafe pointed out enroute.Thks Sarah.
