The information could be more interesting. There is a lot of wow to tell about Florence and so it seems to me that the audio guide could offer more.

Organization was good! We found the bus ride through the narrow streets a bit tedious. Some of the stops were not well described, except for the huge parking lot. was ok, but not great :)

Very useful to have a general idea of the historical, cultural and general points of interest, touring beautiful landscapes and natural places of Tuscany, when you have only one day to spend in Florence. Ideal

Most Hop on Hop off buses I've been on are more informative to the history of the area. I was expecting a bit of a presentation while on the bus. Also, I did find the route confusing between buses. A colored blue and red bus would make it easier to identify the route. The host Anomie was very helpful and answered any questions pertaining to the system. She was so easy going and pleasant.
