Amazing private tour - I had been to Florence before but decided this time to take a private tour and a private driver who took us to Pisa and then onto Florence were our guide Leonardo meet us. He was very patient and did what we asked as we were a family with young children teenagers and nana. His English was superb
Leonardo was very informative about the culture and history of Florence as he himself is a florentine
Thanks Leonardo word of mouth is the best kind of advertising and we have sung your praises to all who will listen
