This was a fairly small group (approx 15) so it was easy to avoid getting lost. Good tour from Ponte Vecchio to David's house., where it took us less than 10 mins to get in and through security. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a worthwhile tour.

Paula was a fantastic guide. She was very clear and easy to follow and did a great job putting us in the right space to really feel the history she was presenting to us. She worked with CityWalks. Highly recommend.
