        A Must-Do! Excellent service and extremely educational.
        Excellent way to experience the cathedral. The tour was so educational. Our guide, Barbara, was fantastic! She answered so many of our questions and really spent the time to enrich our experience!

        Definitely worth it
        I was so impressed with these guys. I bought the ticket online at the last minute, unsure if it could be a scam. But everything was perfect. Straight in, no queueing. I had their audio guide downloaded to my phone, which was excellent. Recommended.

        Best of Florence
        Our tour guide, Leonardo, was fantastic! Very enthusiastic and engaging in showing us the beautiful history of Florence. We saw all of the major sights and even some hidden gems around the city.

        Exploring Florence
        I recently had the pleasure of joining the Walking Tour with Accord and it definitely had an impact on me! The guide Barbara was knowledgeable, and brought the stories and history of the area to life. The pace was perfect—neither too fast nor too slow—and along the way, our guide provided fascinating insights, fun anecdotes, and even some local tips for dining and visiting some of the most famous museums in the city.

        Much better than expected
        Really good tour with a fantastic guide, Gian. I recommend it to everyone. Especially in the low season the group is small so you may have a private experience.

        Amazing Chianti private tour
        We had such a good time at our private Chianti tour. Our tour guide was Alberto and he did such a good job! Extremely knowledgeable, nice and took us to the best Chianti wineries. Towards the end of our tour we went to Osteria Campanna del Gallo. The best restaurant in the area by far. Amazing food and great service. Would do this tour again in a heartbeat. 100% recommend!!!

        Amazing Guide!
        Great experience! Stephan was a great guide and was very thorough with what he showed us. He was at the meeting point waiting for us and very helpful and polite when we had to check a backpack. He knew what he was talking about and helped us see special details of the art in the Opera. Highly recommend this tour!

        Good ticket delivery but Average quality for the audio guide
        Good way to get tickets to the museum. The person at the meeting point was nice and efficient. However not impress by the audio app. The installation is not so simple and several mistakes exist: wrong language, wrong or missing paintings...

        Great walking tour in my native language
        The walking tour with audioguide in Florence was so great with Barbara. It was a good way to know the city better. I will look for other tour with Accord. Thank you!

        Lani Kai Ft. Myers Beach
        Lani kai I must say, the establishment's recent refurbishment was quite impressive. However, the absence of a telephone in the chamber struck me as an odd oversight. The thermostat's insistence on maintaining a constant 74 degrees Fahrenheit was a perplexing conundrum, but mercifully, the maintenance staff proved to be quite capable in remedying the situation. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that the ice machine and vending machine were but a stone's throw away from my quarters - a mere 20 paces, in fact. As for the front desk personnel, they were an absolute delight, with Melissa and Jeanine proving to be particularly helpful and accommodating. One would imagine that, given the rather hefty nightly rate of $185, a microwave would be included amongst the amenities. Nonetheless, the room was equipped with a compact refrigerator and an impressive, generously proportioned television that miraculously allowed for casting - a rarity in most establishments of this caliber. All in all, I'm inclined to bestow a solid four stars upon this place.

        Amazing city and a nice tour
        We had a great experience with a great tour guide. We received a lot of interesting information that we couldn't have heard otherwise. It was really worth it!

        Florence Fun
        Exploring Florence with the Golf cart was actually a very nice experience. The Driver Sandro was very informative and well mannered. Navigating small lanes and stopping at lesser known places and ofcourse the main points of attraction while exploring Florence was delightful. It was a well spent 2 hours of fun ride. Definitely recommend this for all travelers. A big shoutout to Sandro for his sweet behaviour . Keep it up !

        Lovely way to see Florence
        We had a lovely introduction to Florence by taking this tour. Our driver was very informative and as we were very interested in churches he showed us 2 which we would never have found ourselves. We had time to view them inside and also view Florence from a bridge and could stop at places a car couldn’t. Overall a very good experience

      While it would be more accurately described as the 90min Palazzo Vecchio Tour, we had a great time. Marcello was truly wonderful in giving his account of 14-16th century Florence, the Medici family and the artists associated with it.
      One of the best tours we had!

      We had a great tour at Palazzo Vechio and the Hall of the 500. Our tour guide Natalia was an excellent professional and at the same time very welcoming and friendly. We found out numerous interesting things and a lot of important information about the sight that were worth while! We would definitely repeat this experience and we highly recommend Natalia as your personal tour guide!

      Our tour guide was lovely and worked hard to show us everything. She was very knowledgeable and had many pictures to aid in showing the details of the ceiling art. I was very impressed with the Palazzo Vecchio. I think it's overshadowed by all of the other incredible places in Florence but it was a smaller, more bite-sized visit which made it easier to digest.

      There was a mix-up on the meeting spot although it was not the tour guide's fault. The tour meeting info from TripAdvisor just had 'Piazza della Signoria' as the meeting spot which is a huge area with dozens of other tours happening concurrently...so we ended up starting late even though all of us were there early because we couldn't find each other.

      Palazzo Vecchio is well worth a guided tour. Our guide was very kind. It might have helped to have a guide a bit more versed in the Medici's history and a bit more conversant in English. It was challenging to have a Q&A.

      Dear Guest, we would like to thank you for your review because the feedbacks of our clients are really useful to improve our services. Regarding your comment, we are really surprised about the fact that you didn't totally enjoyed your guide because Natalia is really one of the best. Even if English is not her mother tongue, she has an excellent command of this language therefore we are surely surprised of your words. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope to see you soon in Florence. Best regards, ACCORD Team
