Some ticket checkers on the bus are rude and scream at tourists. It’s ok for there to be rules but screaming at people is unfriendly. If they can say excuse me passenger please no eating on the bus or no standing or etc..it would sound much more polite! Especially for tourist that have paid a lot of money to travel and see Florence.

Great tour saving time in seeing the major attractions of the city. Our guide Ayman was also great. Managed to provide a good and satisfactory tour despite circumstances out of controls.

Great bus tour with audio guide. Staff were helpful. They issued a map with drop and collection points on it.
