What a nice day in Florence! Our tour was well planned and organized with helpful staff and guides. We appreciated the balance of group time and free time to explore the city. Our travel on the train was enjoyable as well. The only challenge was the crowds at the museum Uffuzi however that is unavoidable during high tourist season. Overall we had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend the tour to others seeking a day trip from Rome to Florence.
