Everything about the tour was excellent. Things went very smoothly, and our guides were terrific -- knowledgeable, friendly, and in the case of our guide for the Academia, funny and very engaging. Our issues were beyond anyone's control, namely that Firenze in general and the Uffizi and Acadamia in particular, were in the throes of a tourism apocalypse. It was one of my most unpleasant experiences in a half century of traveling. The guided system helped a lot, easing our entry experiences and getting us to some of the most important works of art to see. Thank you for that. But for me, at least, these positives barely turned a nightmare into a very bad dream.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I learnt so much about Florence. Highly recommend this tour. The queues to get in to see David were very long outside but we got in within 15 minutes.

Very informative and enjoyable. I forgot our tour guide's name. I believe that she was Danish. She had such a pleasant disposition and was ready to provide extra, interesting facts when there were delays. My wife's receiver/headset kept cutting out. Our tour guide seamlessly addressed the issue by providing a backup receiver and headset -- with out interrupting the tour. She was amazing. I highly recommend this tour.

I very much enjoyed the guided tour through Florence and the Accademia Galery. It was everything I could have hoped for. Our guide, Enette, joyfully told us loads of interesting and new things about the places we were walking by, and the David was, of course, breathtaking. Seeing it through more experienced eyes, with the help of Enette, made the experience even more special. Thank you!

Our tour guide was lovely, and it was an incredibly hot day....but I knew it would be when I signed up for the tour. I believe that what you focus on expands...so if we keep talking about how hot it is, we'll be that much aware of how hot it is!

Highlights of the Florence Baptistery

Florence Baptistery - Architecture & Design

Architecture & Design

The Baptistery of San Giovanni is a magnificent building that showcases some of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture. Its octagonal shape, which is unusual for a baptistery, was influenced by the baptistery in Ravenna. The exterior of the building is made of white Carrara marble and is adorned with intricate sculptures, including a replica of the famous Gates of Paradise by Lorenzo Ghiberti. The interior of the building is equally impressive, with its stunning mosaic floors, domed ceilings, and stained glass windows.

Florence Baptistery - Bronze Doors

Bronze Doors

The Baptistery is renowned for its three sets of bronze doors, which are considered to be among the greatest masterpieces of Renaissance art.

The mosaics of the Baptistery of St. John, created over several centuries, are some of the most beautiful and intricate examples of Romanesque art in the world. They cover the entire interior of the dome, vaults, and walls of the baptistery. The Byzantine-style mosaics depict scenes from the Bible, such as the Last Judgement and the life of St. John the Baptist. The mosaics were created by some of the most skilled craftsmen of the time. The use of gold and vibrant colors creates a mesmerizing effect.

Florence Baptistery - Acoustics

Acoustics

The Baptistery's design creates exceptional acoustics thanks to its circular shape and the dome which allows for natural amplification.

Outstanding guide , really very knowledgeable . Although in a fairly short time and not being my first visit to Florence , he was able to provide me with a lot of information , that I was absolutely unfamiliar with , and I would add in a way that was also not boring and absolutely non-trivial . Excellent experience .

Lorenzo had great knowledge of the area and was extremely personable while also being professional. We appreciated explanations of the local plant life and history of the area. We had good recommendations for places to visit and future tours. The hiking tour in the hills were better than expected. Nice views of the valley and countryside and woodlands.
