Tour with the audio guide is recommended! The bus stops should be better marked and shown on a city map! Would be a great advantage! Otherwise everything fits.

HOHO was great and informative. Be sure to try both blue and red lines. The Academia tour guide (Michele as I recall) was simply outstanding and most informative.

I enjoyed being able to see so much of the city from the bus. The views from Michael Angelo's square are breathtaking. Blue line is much better than the red line. Staff is not very friendly. One employee in particular was extremely rude. When I asked where to get the red line she told me to look her in the eyes and listen.

This pocket-friendly combo combines 2 unique experiences, taking you from the vast streets of Florence to the intricate world of model trains.
