I couldn’t put correct date on this review - I did this tour with my two children in August 2019 and originally posted it then. I have had a message to say that I had posted it under the wrong company (one with a very similar name). I would like to re-post the review as we had such a brilliant day with our guide and would like to recommend the tour company to others whenever this type of activity goes ahead again! Our guide Ms Ivanova was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour took in many places around the city and we also visited the Uffizi in the afternoon. I was with my children aged 6 and 9 and both really enjoyed this day. They felt included and learned a lot. The guide met us at the times planned and gave plenty of opportunities for questions and were able to answer any queries. Everything was organised well and went smoothly. We were unable to book a tour inside the Duomo but actually this one which took us all the way around the outside and to other fascinating parts of the city was perfect for my family.

Elisa was a guide with charm and humor. As good as she knew the people we visited as good she knew the products. She entertained me the whole day with funny stories, a lot of history and backgrounds and tought me maybe more about the products as some product specialists do. And I visited some food production facilities before. The special thing here was also that I was really in the middle of the production process and not only a visitor behind a glass wall. This was really special. It was a full day great experience at 3 different production sites with tastings, so I consider the price to be fair. I can totally recommend Elisa's tour.
