All the employees were very nice and quite helpful. On the negative side, the A tour didn't take nearly as long as claimed. I know because I did the entire route a number of times. The red line was OK. but part of the claimed two hours of tour time (30 minutes) was spent sitting at one stop. If you're going to do that. You might as well direct tourists to a restroom and make that 30 somewhere interesting. Also, very puzzled why the tour starts at stop #6. Your website needs to give locations of each stop so you could be found. We bought tickets online but had to Uber to the rail station to the main office to ask where the stop was.

We got send an old map, so we waited at the wrong place and some spots were not signed. The attachement to the headphones sometimes didn't work. And the guide told us different and wrong informations about the other bus tour.

The option of two itineraries was great, as it allowed us to explore common, but above all different, places. With the 24h option, we made the most of it because the next day we knew where to go to catch our bus, kkes steps from our accommodation, and we could go straight to our precise location to get our day off to a good start and explore Florence on foot.
