I wish I could give more than 5 stars for this amazing experience with Giovanna. She was the perfect person to guide my 4 kids (ages 4,7,8 and 10) on this 2 1/2 hour walking tour to discover many treasures of Florence with a focus on Michelangelo ending at the Accademia to see the David! Giovanna knew exactly how to engage the kids - through games and prizes!!! That immediately was an incentive for my kids to remain focused, listen to all the interesting stories and details Giovanna had to share and to keep them motivated the whole tour!! All my kids were so eager to search for the Florentine symbol, the fleur de lis, everywhere, and to answer little quiz questions about what they were learning to collect points to earn prizes. The prizes were adorable souvenirs we will cherish! My husband and I learned so much as well. There were stories I hadn’t heard, and I even studied in Florence for a semester, so this tour will certainly be appreciate by all ages!! Giovanna did a wonderful job of explaining the art, architecture and symbolism for my kids in a way that was meaningful and memorable. In addition, Giovanna was extremely attentive to our needs. Having 4 kids means keeping our eyes on them at all times walking through bustling crowds and across streets. Being with Giovanna was like having another parent with us. We have more tours coming up on our cruise and I wish we could take her with us!
