This was definitely the highlight of our trip. Our tour guide Omar was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and clearly proud of Florence, it's traditions and delicious local food. This trip took us away from the crowds and tourism and allowed us to see areas of Florence we would not have otherwise experienced. This tour will be one of our fondest memories.
