We have enjoyed 6 classes/tours with Florencetown this week. Because we are slow walkers, we did a private tour. Fabio asked us questions about our experiences before and where we were staying, he edited the tour to make it less while feeling we saw it all! We saw the squares and Neptune fountain, Uffizi, Baptistry, SMN Church, another church across the river Sua Spiritu, Ponte Vecchio. So friendly, so knowledgable.

Fabio wqs a wealth of knowledge and so much fun! This was our first time in Florence and we only had 2 days so he showed us everything that we needed to see. We learned how gelato was made, heard hilarious Michelangelo stories, saw how people in Florence purchases wine back in the day (see photo) and of course all the top sites to complete the trip. We were with Fabio for 2.5 hours but it felt like 5 minutes! We didn’t want it to end. Request Fabio and you won’t be disappointed — he gave us great dinner and bar recommendations that we will be trying out before heading home.
