    Definitely worth buying a skip the line, and having a guide to explain was very good. However, this cathedral is much more impressive on the outside than on the inside!!

    We had an amazing day trip to Cinque Terre from Florence, guided by Manuel and Alessandro. Even though the optional hiking portion was pouring rain when it started some ambitious people still went. Be prepared for a lot of walking—definitely recommend being in decent shape to fully enjoy the experience.

    The tour was well-organized, starting with a bus ride from Florence to a train station, then traveling by train through all five breathtaking villages of Cinque Terre. The views were absolutely stunning, even with the rain! Our guides, Manuel and Alessandro, were fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke great English.

    We opted for the optional lunch (around €15) at a place known for its pesto sauce, and it did not disappoint! However, you do have the flexibility to eat wherever you’d like.

    Overall, this was a great experience, and we highly recommend it for anyone wanting to explore Cinque Terre in a day. Just be ready for lots of walking and unpredictable weather! It was an amazing tour and I would do it again

    Had a beautiful time on this trip.

    The Vespas were in great condition and easy (for most) to ride. The scenery was wonderful and lunch in the
    Tuscon villa a highlight.

    Gabriel our guide was charming and answered all our many questions with wit and knowledge.

    Note. the Vespas are powerful you should feel comfortable riding one if you book.

    Very stressful. I arrived in plenty of time to very crowded Piazziale di Uffizi. Queued for prepaid tickets - told not right. Eventually found in small print with voucher that should be at statute of Niccolo Pisano. Loads of statutes in square. Asked a load of people - eventually found right person but no identifying sign. Eventually got in at 1140 for an 1100 slot. And this cost about double entry fee! Not happy at all. But museum was worth it.

    Highly recommend going on this tour we saw so much of the city and we was shown hidden gems and saw all the major sights including the Michaelangelo steps, as someone who has to use a walking stick and wouldn't be able to do a walking tour this is the perfect alternative for the disabled community with super friendly driver too! Our driver was so kind offered to take our photos and taught us so much fascinating history and showed us the most stunning church!
    Definitely worth every penny!

    Our guide, Emmanuele was great and very knowledgeable. The outside of the duomo is spectacular, the inside is huge but surprisingly plain. We had the skip the line tickets, I would have been very disappointed if I had to wait for 2 hours to see the inside of the cathedral as it is somewhat Spartan inside. Now as to locating the place to meet…looking at the ticket office for the cathedral, the meeting spot is to the right about 30-40 meters in front of (but not in) a small tobacco shop on a corner with an alley. There is a phone booth out front also. It seemed a little sketchy but an organizer person and the guide showed up right at the stated time (not a minute before) and were very helpful. No one had a sign, flag or brightly colored garment. So you have to keep alert.

    Amazing museums and easy enough getting the tickets with the company and getting into the museum! It was great! Must visit for sure. The skip the line is definitely worth it!

    This was an excellent walking tour (with a break for lunch) of 5 hours. Our guide was Paolo who was a native of Florence.

    The meet up was all as indicated in the booking - no problems.

    The main reason for taking this tour was to see the David Statue and the Uffizi by skipping the queues. NOTE - even in March you could see the benefit of this with absolute mayhem outside Accademia.

    Our guide was very good at (simply) explaining the exibits in the Michelangelo gallery room - why there were unfinished examples, what chisles he used and his fixated method of working.

    Between the two main galleries our guide gave a running history of some of the builings we passed - including asking us to look through windows to see ancient frescoes still in existance.

    As noted we stopped near the Uffizi for a break / lunch / rest your feet.
    The Uffizi element made it very plain that is art is your"thing" you probably want all day. We were given a two hour lesson on Florentine Renaissance from Giotto through Michelangelo/Leonardo to Raffael. All well explained using the Medici family history.
    Almost a kind of information overload but quite an education.
    Much recommended

    It does exactly what it says. I got quick entry and skipped long queues. If that's what you want, I would recommend this service.

    The palace is vast, and impressive. We spent 5 hours in palace/gardens. Nice cafe, good gift shop. However you don’t need to buy skip the line. We went at 09:30 and there was no queue.

    This was a fantastic day! We had a nice drive out of Florence and then we’re taught how to ride the Vespa. Luckily we were able to practice on a dirt area because once we got onto the main country road it was really easy. If you’ve written a bike, you could ride a Vespa. The sites were absolutely beautiful and it was very fun to see the countryside. Our main driver did a great job helping. Keep us on track. We stopped in San Gimignano for an hour, which was a wonderful place to stroll and check out the beautiful views. We then took the Vespas back and ended the day with a wonderful lunch at a local winery. They gave us four different wines to try as well as some excellent appetizers and soup and pasta. We really liked the white wine so we bought a few bottles (10 Euro each). This day was absolutely the highlight of our Italy trip! Would highly recommend this event if you enjoy getting out of the city to get a glimpse of the countryside while riding on authentic Vespas!

    Such an amazing experience - highly recommended! Our guide Luca was outstanding! Very friendly and informative. The whole outing was even better than expected. The meeting place was close walking distance from the metro station, followed by a drive by van up to the hills of Tuscany. You arrive at a gorgeous winery in the hills where you are given a brief history of the location, followed by an overview of the Vespa and quick test ride to ensure you are comfortable and confident before hitting the road. The Vespa itself is really easy to operate and the drive was just the right distance. Luca had us stop at various spots throughout the ride to take some scenic pictures. Not only was he a great guide, but also an amazing photographer. The conclusion of the ride ended with a delicious lunch and wine tasting in a private dining area, which was equally as amazing. Overall this was a great experience and highly, highly recommended! 5-stars.
