City Wanders group tour with Giovanna - Giovanna was excellent as a tour guide, her extensive knowledge of Florentine history and art was comprehensive. Listening to her interpretation of Boticelli’s paintings were in-depth and very thought provoking. Highly recommend her group tour of both the Accademia and Uffizi Galleries with City Wanders.

A great Tour! - Wonderful and educated guides! The walking tour and Accademia guide was from Florence (Patty?) and knew so much about the history and our afternoon Uffize guide was British and well versed in her art history. So worth it!!

Great guided museum tours for highlights - Great tours! I did the 9am tour which featured a guided city tour before the Galleria d'Academia at 10:30. There you have 30 min with the guide and then walk around yourself up until you meet back at the meeting point (Uffizi Gallery) at 12:30. Then you get 1.5 hr your there with another guide. I had Claudia and then Paulina as guides. Both were excellent!! Highly recommend. I think the timing of each tour was also perfect.

Amazing history lesson - Although we packed in both tours in one day, our guides professional and historical knowledge was shared in such a personable manner that kept us engaged and enthralled at all we saw. Thoroughly recommend these tours.

Great morning; weak afternoon - Becsuse the review requires a single response to two short tours that are back to back after a break I can only give 3 stars. This however masks that I would give the morning tour 5 and afternoon 2 stars. In the morning Patricia was wonderful, informative… a well paced tour of Florence highlights and a look at David in the Accademia. Afternoon st Ufizzi was marred by long wait. Not sure what skip the line refers to here as we stood in line for 40 minutes. End result was 60 minutes in the Uffizi, 15 minutes waiting for the tour to start after check in and 45 minutes to get to the actual tour to start
