Thanks to Jack, our tour host, we know so much more about his city of Florence. It was so wonderful to hear and learn about the city of Florence from him. We had so many photo ops too. Jack is very knowledgeable and shared interesting bits of information and perspective on the city’s history and the many works of art we saw. It’s obvious he is a student of history and the arts and it really made for a great tour. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Jack.
