Amazing Florence walking tour - Highly Recommended - This tour was a great way to get a good feel of the Florence/Firenze town centre, there are so many amazing palaces, churches, statues, museums all within a short walk distance of the starting point. Andrea (our tour guide was fantastic (knowledgeable, friendly, punctual, organised and with a good sense of humour). Andrea introduced us to the Italian art of ordering and drinking coffee and Gelato! Walk About Tours we’re also very organised, with clear and timely communication, always a bonus. The audio headset was excellent, the best I have used on this trip, very easy to fit and use (I am a little deaf, or a lot if you ask my wife and I often struggle with hearing the guides commentary). Andrea also spoke clearly and not too fast which was appreciated. The level of detail in the commentary was excellent, enough to give us good idea of the history of Florence/Firenze but not drowning us with a million names, dates etc. all presented in a clear and interesting fashion. We have done 14 +/- guided tours throughout the Balkans(9), Greece (3) and Italy (2) on his trip and this was easily the best!
