Hear more about our
Florence In One Glorious Day Package from one of our clients:
"Outstanding experience! Tanya was an excellent guide to introduce us to the architecture and history of
Florence and the Renaissance. Her knowledge and presentation style were engaging and informative and all members of my family (my husband, my 10 year old son and I) found the tour one of our trip's highlights! We were left wanting to read books about the Medici family and spend far more time in Florence than our time allowed!
Christine did a fantastic tour of the highlights of the
Uffizi! She was extremely knowledgable and her sense of humour and ability to make so many connections between the art and the history of the time was fantastic! I had been to the Uffizi previously (unguided) and know realize how essential a good guide is to a collection of that importance. My son, who is just acquiring a taste for art and the subtle (and not so subtle) elements in a painting, loved the tour (as did my husband and I!) and it ranks amongst the top of his
tour experiences during our two week stay in Italy.
Our time with
Elizabeth at the
Accademia was also very informative. She pointed out a number of interesting things about
Michelangelo's sculpting style and we felt it was of great benefit to have the background when trying to appreciate his work. Our greatest regret on our trip was that we had not booked more tours through
Artviva (particularly in
Venice!!). It is a great incentive to return to Italy and make better use of the excellent tours you offer!!"
