The high-speed train was so convenient - we were in Florence in no time! Our guide was an actual art history professor and made the Uffizi absolutely fascinating. Seeing Botticelli's Birth of Venus in person was a dream come true.

Perfect organization from start to finish. The skip-the-line access saved us hours. Florence is beautiful, and our guide helped us see things we would have missed on our own. Highly recommend this tour!
