Skip the line is always a bonus. Wasn't very busy but the tickets were less expensive than purchasing on site. Very good experience overall definitely recommend

Option of two routes around the city of Florence. Red route took us up the hillside to the lovely location of Fiesole. It was disappointing that the earphone sockets on some of the seats weren't working, and also the information provided during the tour wasn't as clear as information I've received on other city sightseeing bus tours.

A comprehensive tour of the city without walking. On the other hand, you hardly see any of the city's beautiful buildings. Too much focus on the outside

The opportunity to see a lot of the city in a short time. What a disaster: !!!! The employee in the office of her company. No idea and no interest in our request. We had to go to the city information office and they helped us and gave us quick and easy access to their buses.
Dive deep into the heart of Florence without breaking the bank with this exclusive combo, encompassing two quintessential Florentine experiences.
