    The best thing, not having to wait in line to get in. The views are wonderful, but you have to be fit to climb so many steps ha ha.

    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.

    The entire experience was amazing! With access to the Bell Tower, the museum and the cathedral, it's both a great value and a great experience. The view from the top of the tower was worth the price of admission!

    Truly a beautiful experience! Florence is already beautiful in itself, seen from above it is even more so. The only thing is that climbing the stairs can be challenging, so keep that in mind when you want to plan a visit.
