Walkabout Florence

What a terrific Company! The Vespa tour in Tuscany was the highlight of
my trip in Florence. I was in a small group of five and our guide was Angel. Angel was friendly and very informative. He took us all over the back roads and hills of Tuscany. The ride was absolutely beautiful and although it was cold and foggy none of us cared. Angel took us to the San Miniato Abbey which is a very old Church high on a hill with a terrific view of the whole city. Unfortunately that day, as I said, it was foggy, so we couldn’t see much — but still the location was breathtaking and the church itself is a MUST regardless of if you take this tour or not. Go inside it is beautiful!!!
After the San Miniato, we road around all over the hills of Tuscany and stopped toward the end of our ride at a private kitchen that Walkabout Tours owns (where they do their cooking class). We were fed an amazing fresh cooked meal of pasta, omelettes and prosciutto served with wine and bottled water. There we sat and warmed up and looked out onto a fantastic view of the hills. The food was delicious the company was great.
Overall I highly recommend this tour. There is a reason this company has such great reviews.

We were traveling as two friend and took three of the walk about tours. Wine and Dine Tuscany, cinque terre and Best of Tuscany. Every to guide was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and charming. All tours were professional and kept to a high standard. Would recommend to all.

The walkabout full day cooking class was one of our favorite parts of the trip! We met at the office near the Uffizi galary, where we were first introduced to our wonderful guide, Elisa. She took us for a walk around the city on the way to Central Market. We had actually done a bike tour around Firenze the night before, but Elisa pointed out way cooler things! She pointed out a lot of fun facts about the architecture — outdated wine holes, features about the towers/​palaces, and guild banners on buildings — and was able to give us a good idea of what it was like to live in Firenze back then.
At the market we picked up fresh bread, meat, cheese, and herbs/​veggies, and she once again tied it all back into the traditions and history of the town. I loved how Elisa tied it all in and we really felt like we learned a lot about the culture back then and presently.
Afterwards, we met up with the other half of the group also with an awesome tour guide and bused up to a house outside the city. The house had an amazing kitchen & garden, and overlooked the city. Here, we met the teacher, THE cutest Italian grandma. We helped prepare the several dishes and got to eat each course as we made it. We made bruschetta, fresh pasta + ragu, Napoli stype pizza, roasted pork and potatoes, gelato, and tiramisu. They also had endless beer + wine. We were definitely more than stuffed when we were only halfway through.
I think our group was 20+ people, so it wasn’t a very personal/​private experience but it was definitely very fun and educational. We definitely recommend this activity on your trip to Italy and try to book with Elisa if you can! The entire team was even helpful with providing tips for the rest of our trip and contacting our car rental company, which we were very appreciative of.

It was a nice tour overall. We didn’t have enough time on our own though (less than 1 hour at each place). So I felt rushed. Everyone was really hungry — we ended up having a late lunch around 1:30pm. They could’ve at least provided us with snacks and water. They did have water, but for an extra fee.

All the places in Tuscany you want to see and none of the ones you don’t — Siena, San Gimignamo, lunch at a wine estate, drive through Chianti countryside, and Pisa. It also included a wonderful lunch at a winery with free flowing wine all for a great price. My compliments to the driver Nardo and the tour guide Antonielle for job well done.

This tour of Cinque Terre at 90 Euros is an incredible deal. Day trip from Florence covers about 7 miles of walking. Our guides Gloria and Johnny were fantastic. A must do trip when visiting Tuscany. The trip departs from the Florence train station by bus.

our friends honeymooned in Florence and recommended taking a vespa tour. i looked into it and found this vintage vespa tour and it was truly the most memorable activity during our time in Europe. it’s a great way to sightsee and feel like you’re a local. our guide was awesome, funny and knowledgeable. you zig zag through the back country roads of Tuscany making pit stops at local landmarks while following a pint size vintage Fiat. the trip ends with a beautifully prepared & intimate lunch at a private vineyard. i was so impressed!!! i cannot recommend this highly enough to anyone who asks me about Florence. please do yourself a favor and book this!

I chose to take the Florence Food Tour and Small-​Group Cooking class at a Farmhouse because in this tour we would get to not only cook, but also shop for the ingredients in one of the most amazing markets I have ever been to and learn from local vendors about their products.
These were the highlights from this tour/​class:
Started our morning with a visit to a popular bakery and we were treated to a coffee of
our choice. This is also where the bread for the bruschetta was purchased.
Explored San Lorenzo’s Mercato Centrale and were given samples to taste (e.g., olives, cheese, bread, cold cuts/​prosciutto)
Cooked with a small-​group of people at a farmhouse set in the rolling hills of Tuscany
We learned to make Bruschetta, Pizza, home-​made Pasta, Tuscan roast pork with potatoes and Tiramisù!
Enjoyed our meal with wine in an outdoor dining room with my new friends and an amazing view of Florence
Stop 1
Starting the day right with an espresso! Or caffè since they call espresso, caffè in Italy. Most espressos are € 1 and in some parts of Italy, like Naples, you can get a pastry and an espresso for € 1 (no tax and tip added or needed since in most of Europe, a tip is never expected). Needless to say, I spent about € 4 per day on espressos. :)
Stop 2
Toured Mercato Centrale, an indoor market filled with fresh local ingredients, produce, meats, etc. The purpose of this stop was to pick up the meat for the ragù sauce, the pork for the roast pork, the cheese for the pizza, potatoes for the rosemary potatoes, and we had picked up the tomatoes at a small market on the way to the Mercato Centrale (Olivia, our fantastic tour guide/​leader, explained to us why the tomatoes at that one small shop were the best — can’t remember why though. Ick!). At the market Olivia also purchased different things for us to try: olives, prosciutto, bread and cheese.
Stop 3
The villa!
Dish 1
Making the ragù. The ragù needs to cook on a low heat for a long time, so we needed to start cooking it before we did anything else. Our teacher wanted the class to partake in the making of the ragù, so each ingredient was added by a different person.
Dish 2
To hold us over while we prepared the main dishes, we made bruschetta. We cut the bread, the tomatoes, chopped the herbs, and grilled our bread with olive oil. Then we put it all together. Quick and delicious!
Dish 3
Making the pasta! First our teacher showed us step-​by-​step how to make the pasta. The she showed us how make different types of shapes and explained to us what pasta goes with what sauce. For example, wider noodles are best for rich meat sauces. For example, tagliatelle, pappardelle, fettuccine, mafaldine are best paired with rich meat sauces. For this class we were making pappardelle to pair with our ragù sauce.
Dish 4
Making pizza dough. We watched the process but we did not make our own.
Cooking the pizza — a Neapolitan pizza! My favorite! This type of pizza must be baked for 60 – 90 seconds in a 485 °C (905 °F) stone oven with an oak-​wood fire.
Our instructor made the first one, and then with a partner we made our own. This was one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. My partner and I had so much fun putting it together. We had an array of toppings to choose from, but I wanted to keep it simple so we only added tomato sauce, sliced mozzarella, olive oil and basil to ours. In other words, we made a pizza Margherita.
Food is ready! We all marched into the dining room and minutes after sitting down, platters and platters of food hit our table. It all looked fresh and delicious! And we made it all (minus the gelato)! To be honest, we all looked a little freaked out by the abundance of food since by that point we had already munched on snacks at the market, eaten bruschetta and pizza! But somehow we made room and I couldn’t stop eating the pasta! This was officially the best pasta and ragù sauce I have ever eaten. I knew after the first bite that this dish could not be surpassed. That packaged pasta would never do again.
So what do you think? Didn’t this all look incredible or what?! I can’t tell you enough how in love I fell with this class. You not only get to eat the most incredible food, but you also get an education on Italian cuisine from the experts, and you walk out with a load of new friends! All of this plus more for $ 95.18 CAD! The current price on the Walkabout Florence website is € 80 so I may have gotten a bit of a discount on Viator since I had booked over 5 tours through them — so always check both Viator and the vendors website to compare prices!
A special thanks to Olivia, our fantastic tour guide, and now friend. She was so knowledgeable, kind and patient! I hope to do more tours with her in the future.

LOVED the tour! Our guide was Elisa who spoke perfect English, was adorable and really loved Tuscany… you could tell! She was very kind, knowledgeable and patient. We would definitely do the the tour again! We especially enjoyed the lunch up at the winery… probably didn’t need that much time in Pisa bc we snapped the «cheesy typical» lean photo and were done. Absolutely loved the tour of Siena and San Gimignano – in fact we took a bus there by ourselves the next day! Would definitely recommend this tour to friends :)

Went on two tours: Tuscany wine tour with guide Martina who was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable about wine and the history of the area. Fun day touring around wineries, tasting wine and eating local cuisine.
2^nd tour was in cinque terre with guide Gloria who was also very nice and did a great job leading us throughout the villages of the area and on our hike. Fun and active day outside of the urban scenery of Firenze.
Both highly recommended!

All Day Cooking Class!
Incredible experience!
We made bruschetta, pasta, pizza, roast loin, ragu sauce, roasted potatoes, gelato, and terra masu
The chef is a riot! We sang, and laughed, while drinking good wine! We ate until we popped! We actually had to cancel dinner reservations as we were stuffed! You will not be disappointed! Take an appetite!

What did I like about Walkabout Florence? Everything. But I know that won’t be enough for you Unilocalers so here goes…
1) Antonella –She was our guide for two days in a row — lucky us! Here’s what I noticed about her other than the fact she has a master’s degree in art history and speaks 4 languages. She cares! She made sure she talked to each person in our group and really got to know them. And after I asked her a question about a local artist (Clet), she not only told me all about him, that she’d met him, that he was charming, clever, and funny, but she also arranged for his gallery to stay open late so that my husband and I could go there after our tour on our last day in Italy. How special and thoughtful of her! You see? This had nothing at all to do with our paid tour and everything to do with her being a wonderful, caring young woman!
2) The format of the «tours» — my husband and I are not tour people. I heard a couple other people in our group say the same thing. Walkabout converted us ALL and I guess we are now tour people. OK, maybe we are just Walkabout people! One day we had about 20 in our group and the next day we had 10 or so. But we felt as though Antonella was our very own private guide, our friend, our long lost Italian cousin taking us around her city. The days are well thought out. Just enough down time, more information than you expect, like a Rick Steves’ Italy book come to life.
3) Carmela — omg, I don’t know what to say! She was our chef for our cooking class day. She also dances and sings! LOL! She is a TREASURE! And an amazing cook! You should see my noodles I made in class! I was a rock star! Ha! So was everyone else! Every last detail of her class is perfection including the building, the AMAZING STOVE AND OVEN (you will not believe it!), the flow of the class — everything! You will learn things you cannot learn in your own country about Italian cooking, that is a guarantee!
4) The Walkabout staff — my husband and I got into a conversation with Lavi about San Gimignano (our favorite place!) and she regaled us with stories about it because she LIVES THERE! Lucky her! Lavi was not even our guide but I don’t think she even cared! She talked to us about everything and treated us like friends. So full of life and can I please have her skin color? It is incredible. I need to move to San Gimignano! The rest of the staff was incredible as well including the bus drivers, the American chef, Carmela’s niece, the pizza man, the helpers, the Sienna guide, and the money man. Yes, they were all terrific. The Walkabout office is really cool as well, you’ll be lucky if you get to meet there for your tour.
5) Just to let you know, we took the Best of Tuscany Tour and the Cooking Class and Lunch at a Tuscan Farmhouse with Local Market Tour.
6) I can’t help but think I am leaving something out in this review and I really hope I’m not! These folks deserve all the kudos we can pile upon them!

We did two tours with Walkabout Florence — the Cinque Terre hike and the Best of Tuscany Tour.
The Cinque Terre hike is exactly what it says it is. It’s a HIKE. We overheard some lady with our tour group complaining to the tour guide (Luca, who was awesome by the way!) that she didn’t know it would be this strenuous, how the tour didn’t specify for her not to wear sandals and a skirt, etc. Um, lady… it’s a HIKE! It clearly says it in the description and says you should wear the right shoes. I mean really, what was she expecting? A stroll along the beach? It was her own fault for not reading it!
Anyway, let’s get back on track. The hike covers all 5 towns. But don’t worry, you won’t be hiking the whole time. The bus picks you up near Santa Maria Novella station and drops you off in Manarolo. Then you hike 4.5 km to the next town, Corniglia and have lunch there. Then you hike another 4.5 km to the next town, Vernazza. You have about an hour to explore Vernazza. Afterwards, you get on a boat to Monterosso, where you have another hour or so to explore. Next, you get on another boat, which goes to Riomaggiore and again, you have approximately an hour of free time. Finally, from there, you take the train to La Spezia, where a bus picks you up and takes you back to Florence.
It was very tiring, but it was worth it. I feel like there is no way we could have done all five towns without the tour. Since they’re all very small towns, there’s not too much to see so the time spent in each place was adequate.
I can’t say the same for the Best of Tuscany tour though. While it was nice that we got to see so many things (a bus takes you from Florence to Siena, then vineyards in San Gimignano, then the town of San Gimignano, and finally, Pisa), not enough time was spent in Pisa and it felt extremely rushed. Once we got there, we took a 15 minute trolley tour around the town. Then if you signed up to climb the top (I think it was an extra 20 Euros), then you go and do that. After we came back down, we only had 15 minutes to take pictures. Mind you, we pretty much raced up and down those stairs and spent less than 5 minutes at the top. So one of my suggestions for Walkabout Florence would be to spend less time in Siena, since I’m sure most people would rather see Pisa anyway. Our tour guide, Sandra was really nice. She took the time after the tour to personally say goodbye to everyone. Props to her because if I was a tour guide, I would not have the energy to be doing that!
The tours are pretty expensive for 85 Euros (for a youth ticket) but I think it was worth it. We saw a lot in one day that we otherwise would not have. I would recommend it. If I ever go back to Florence, I would definitely book another tour with them.
Tip — I don’t know if it’s still going on but if you book two different tours with them, you can get a discount! I believe it was 10%.

This review covers 2 tours since apparently I can’t review this place two separate times. We went on the «Best of Tuscany Tour» and loved it. THat night while we were on the bus back we booked the Tuscan cooking class for the next day since we had such a great experience with this company.
We met at the main Florence train station and boarded a modern air-​conditioned tour bus that was comfortable. Our tour stopped at the following Tuscan hillside towns — Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa. We also stopped at a Tuscan winery/​Farm where we did wine tasting and had lunch.
The entire day lasted about 12 hours since we left at about 8:30am and got back to Florence at about 8:30pm. At no point was I bored and all of the stops and sights were interesting and fun. Our tour guide’s name was Olivia. I believe she said she lives near Florence now but is originally from Hungary. She was upbeat, friendly, and FUNNY. She really made the entire day enjoyable.
Some reviews stated that they felt a bit rushed at each town. However, I disagree. I felt that we had plenty of time at each of the towns for us to wander around freely after we had some introductory remarks from the tour guide.
Each town had its own unique characteristic. Siena had this amazing plaza where Olivia explained to us holds an annual competition each year among the different groups of Sienese. San Gimignano boasts a world award winning gelateria that had very unique flavored gelatos. We loved it. Lastly, Pisa was great to visit because we went near sunset and the Leaning Tower had a beautiful orange glow to it.
The winery we stopped at was called Fattoria Poggio Alloro. We were able to walk through the vineyards, see the cows that would likely become Florentine steak, and have a meal full of bread, pasta, salad, and proscuitto. My husband wished there was some main course (e.g. meat dish) though since he was still hungry. The lunch included 3 different bottles of wine (1 white and 2 reds) which I enjoyed.
Overall, the tour was great and our guide, Olivia really did a good job. We had such a great time that we booked a cooking class with the same company for the immediate next day. I would highly recommend this tour as you are able to see a lot without having to worry about transportation and time.
This part of the review is for the Florence food tour and cooking class in the Tuscan farm house. This was one of the highlights of my several days in Florence. Our guide’s name was Antonella and I believe she is originally from Pompeii. We all met at the WalkaboutFlorence office and then walked the streets of Florence to buy the ingredients for our cooking class. First stop was vegetable market to purchase tomatoes. Next stop was a bakery to get coffee and bread. Lastly, we stopped at the Centrale Merchant’s Market to get the rest of our ingredients. On the way to to the main market, Antonella would stop here and there and give us some welcomed history about the sights in Florence. She was a joy to be around and very happy and friendly.
At the Centrale Market we bought cheese and meat. As we walked through the market we were able to sample a lot of different food as well. It was a lot of fun and the group we were with was hilarious. Our group was about 11 people and we had a blast.
Afterwards we took a small minivan to the Tuscan hillside where we walked through the gates to a beautiful small farmhouse/​kitchen that really was on the hill. We had a beautiful view and were in awe of where we were. Our chef, Carmella, was a riot as she only spoke Italian but she communicated with her body and by translation from Antonella. We learned throughout the afternoon to make bruschetta and the tomato topping for it, we all made our own pasta which was so much fun, we made the meat sauce for the pasta, we made tiramisu and gelato, pizza and pork. All the while we opened several bottles of wine and were happily cooking and drinking. Additionally, we learned out to make pizza outdoors near the pizza oven they had which was a lot of fun.
We ate throughout the afternoon since we ate what we cooked (e.g. first bruschetta, then pizza). At the end we all sat down in this beautiful glass house that overlooked the hillside and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. The pasta, pork, tiramisu and gelato came out and we had a sit down meal. Our group was so much fun and it seriously was the highlight of my time in Florence.
If you have a day just to do nothing but wander, I would suggest spending it with this cooking class. It was such a memorable experience.

My friend and I rented a vintage fiat for the day and had Julian as our tour guide. He was just fantastic! Very knowledgable about the local area, bi-​lingual so perfect English, made sure we we’re safe around the very narrow village turns, took us to some lovely stops through Tuscany (taking pics of us), and we topped it off with a wonderful Italian meal. He was such a pleasure to spend the afternoon with — we would recommend all our friends using their services. Have fun!

We went on the cinque terre day trip from Florence. This was the only guided tour we went on and we loved it. Our tour guides, Freddie and Julian, were really informative, helpful, and awesome guys. There were no embarrassing stickers, sticks with scarfs, or any other obnoxious «tourist» identifiers on this trip. There were approx 50 on our tour but since everyone hiked at their comfort level it didn’t seem stifling. The tour was stress free since all of transportation among each of the 5 towns was organized by our guides. The coach bus was was comfortable and spacious. The trains between towns could be hectic with so many visitors to CInque Terre, and the boat ride offered great views of the coast.
Our lunch was the best food on our entire trip in Italy. The seafood was so fresh and tasted so phenomenal. The restaurant view was simply breathtaking.
The hike itself was moderate. I don’t typically hike and this was easy enough for me to complete but not so easy that my husband wasn’t bored (he is an avid hiker). The views were some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The ocean, the lush green trees, vineyards, little towns, and even their cemetaries were truly an experience I will never forget. The trails weren’t congested which was a relief since the streets of Rome and Florence were flooded with people everywhere. The trails did have uneven terrain but that is to be expected when you are on the side of cliffs overlooking the ocean.
We had time in the towns to get some gelato, a few magnets, and obtain a hiking patch to put on our backpacks. We only briefly dipped our feet in the sea but would have loved to been able to swim. We didn’t have enough time to swim but the water felt good on our feet.
Strongly recommend this tour. The tour guides make a huge difference and we were so lucky to have Julian and Freddie. Do not pass up this tour – it was the best day of our trip.

Location: The meeting point for both the Cinque Terre and Best of Tuscany tour was the SMN train station.
When I started planning my trip to Italy, one of the things I was adamant about was hiking the Cinque Terre. After doing some research, I came across Walkabout Florence, who offered a full day trip to the C-​T that included a visit to all five towns. Admittedly, I was a little hesitant about booking a tour with so many people (basically a bus of 50+ people) but I booked it anyway — I figured I’d just hike at the back, ignore everyone and take photos =-D Well, shame on me for assuming this would just be a mass outing with no personal touch whatsoever! First, we had two tour guides — the group was split out into two so we each had a guide. My guide was the AMAZING Martina. Secondly, we had a really good group of travelers, most of whom were really friendly and energized about doing the hike — so this, combined with a great guide, made for a fabulous day.
Now, what can I say about the C-​T? It’s absolutely, hands down, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. Walkabout made sure this tour was an unforgettable experience — we visited all five towns, hiked between two towns, stopped for a great lunch in Corniglia and took in spectacular views. We had about an hour in each town to do our own thing, which was great as well. I highly recommend this tour if you want to visit the C-​T! Martina was super friendly, funny, and took the time to get to know each person in her tour — literally, she spent time with each one of us to chit chat about where we were from etc.
I was so thrilled with the C-​T tour, that upon the recommendation of a few fellow travelers, I decided to book the Best of Tuscany tour, last minute, on my last day in Florence. I emailed Walkabout to see if they had room and they did — they were very accommodating when I told them I didn’t have access to a computer, and made an exception by letting me pay them on the day of the tour. They normally do NOT do this, but I had met the office manager on my C-​T tour and luckily, she remembered me. This tour took me to Siena, the Chianti region, San Gimignano and Pisa, and it was great. In Siena, we had a quick tour with a local guide and visited the church, then had free time. We then headed to a local farm in the Chianti area where we had a traditional Tuscan lunch along with some wine tasting — awesome! Then we headed to San Gimignano where we had over an hour to do our own thing. LOVED San G — it was exactly what I envisioned when I thought about what a medieval town would be like. Definitely one of my favorite places. We then ended with a stop in Pisa, where we got to visit the main sites (on our own). Truly an awesome day. Our guide for Tuscany was Agata, who is an art historian — she was super knowledgeable about the history of each town!
This is a great little tour company and I highly recommend them.

My hubby and I are happy scooter riders here in the US, so thought it would be a blast to do the 4 hour vintage Vespa/​tuscany tour with Walkabout.
I’d say we really liked the tour, but didn’t love it. I think in my mind, I saw us on long stretches of castle dotted landscape, drinking in scenery. What we got was a lot of backroads with steep hills, and narrow streets. My hands were a bit achy from using the brake so often (these are vintage scoots)
However, on the bright side. Our tour guide was awesome, the Vespas were cool — and we did get some great history & views. The highlight for me was the lunch at the end. It really was a gourmet meal, at a fantastic & authentic deli.
I’m not sure I’d recommend it for someone that hasn’t ridden before. However, the vintage Fiat’s that they offer as an alternative look like a hoot!

I took the day tour from Florence to Tuscany, and it was a highlight of my vacation in Italy. Our guide Elisa was such a gem. The trip was well worth every penny. The motorcoach was spotlessly clean, the lunch at the winery was delicious, and the scenery was breathtaking. I appreciate that there wasn’t a hard sales pitch by the owners of the winery; you were welcomed to buy wine but there wasn’t any pressure.
One tip — I traveled in early November which is not peak season. Walkabout offered an add-​on for climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa but I declined at purchase. Because we were not traveling at a peak time, I was able to buy tickets to climb the tower when we arrived at the site, and they were a bit cheaper than what Walkabout was charging. At the end of the day, while the view was nice, I would not have been bummed out if tickets had been sold out and I had missed the climb, so choose accordingly.

We booked two tours with Walkabout Florence, not really knowing what to expect. We contemplated doing a Cinque Terre and Tuscany tour on our own, but because of our limited time and unfamiliarity with the area, we decided our trip (and sanity) would be best served with a paid tour. I found Walkabout after briefly searching the internet. The Tuscany tour promised visits to Siena, a Chianti vineyard with lunch, San Gimignano, and Pisa. The Cinque Terre tour promised visits to all five villages, hiking and lunch.
We did our Tuscany tour first. We boarded the bus just outside the train station, Santa Maria Novella. Agatha was our tour guide. She was professional and informative. She kept our tour group together and we were on time. Our bus/​coach was comfortable and safe. Each place we visited offered something different. With so much to cover, we felt a bit rushed at each location, but it was understandable. Siena was smaller than Florence, but had very upscale shops. Lunch in Chianti was fabulous and the wine was plentiful. We were just happy to just wander and get lost in the little alleys in San Gimignano. And their gelato is said to be the best ever. We took our obligatory cheesy photo in Pisa, then went home.
A couple days later, we had our Cinque Terre tour. Our guide was Lisa. She also did a great job keeping everyone together and making sure everyone was safe and had a good time. We started in Manarola, then took a train to Corniglia. We then hiked mostly uphill to Veranaza, where we lunched overlooking the Mediterranean. The hike was spectacular all the way and we we had fabulous weather – not too hot, not too cold. We then took a train to Monterrosso, where we had free time. We decided to put our feet into the cold sea. The sea was too rough for the boat ride, so the guides treated us to wine on a high patio overlooking the sea in Rio Maggiorre. My husband and I cut out early so we could do some shopping and we found a little shop where a woman was making her own jewelry and shoes – so cool. We then boarded the bus back to Florentine, satisfied with another great tour.
We highly recommend this tour company. It saved us from trying to plan and also saved us time (not to mention fighting with each other and getting lost).
