Julia was an amazing guide, you can truly tell that she is passionate about history. This is not as much a tour about the Medici than it is a time travelling experience throught the street of Florence during renaissance. she manage to be entertaining while very educative which makes the around 2 hours spent in her company seems like 10 minutes. Bonus is that she gives you all of the lovely local restaurant not overcrowded by tourist where you can find delicious food without waiting for an eternity for your tour to come. I highly recommend a raise for her and all of the best success in her future endeavour. Thanks for a good time.
