It was a great day, we had lunch, visited the Roman ruins and the museum on the red route in Fiesole. Both are well worth a look. We intended to only spend 1hr there but stayed for over two. It was nice to be out of the hussel and bussel of Firenze for a while. The rest of the tour is also well worth the money even if it's just to get a background of what to see and do. That how we use the HOHO buses
