Our tour guide Elena was very accommodating, informative and sweet. She showed us both must sees and hidden gems during our 6 hour walking tour. We walked into a beautiful small church where Americo Vespucci was buried. We saw the highlights at the Uffizi, walked over the Ponte Vecchio, visited the leather market and the Fontana del Porecellini, and walked through many quaint side streets. We had a a delicious panini at a local favorite shop not frequented by tourists, heard all about the success story of Salvatore Ferragamo, the origin of Pinocchio, and more. Our tour ended at the Accademia Gallery where we saw Michelangelo’s David and Elena pointed out fascinating details of this masterpiece. Fantastic experience and would highly recommend!
