Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went with 28 children from the oratory and some adults to see Santa Maria Novella. Our guides Enrico and Leola were really good.
Through the works of art we discovered many curiosities about our city, the origins of sayings and above all we received an unforgettable catechesis.
Two people full of passion and faith who enchant to the point that time flies.
The children, usually restless, stared with mouths open and noses in the air.
I highly recommend it

We took a free guided tour of the Church of Santa Maria Novella in the company of Enrico, a volunteer guide who describes the works inside the Church with passion, professionalism and that Florentine touch, adding curious anecdotes to the story.
We can say that it was a very pleasant experience. Congratulations to Enrico and the work he carries out with the association!

Magnificent! My visit to the Church had not started very well, I had asked at the box office if it was possible to have a guided tour, "we won't take care of it" I was told. During my tour I meet the guide Enrico (president of the ars et fides association) and what can I say, with a disarming simplicity and a markedly Tuscan accent he made the visit lively and enjoyable. He combined notions of art history with anecdotes about the artists... Very good (and highly recommended!)

Very interesting and engaging visit! The guide Bruno illustrated the different points of interest to us with abundance and passion, enriching his story with amusing historical anecdotes. This allowed us to fully appreciate the importance of the artistic, historical and cultural heritage of Santa Maria Novella. Super Recommended.

The "UFO" visit led by Enrico was as unexpected as it was exceptional. Artistic details mixed with both historical and contemporary anecdotes gave added value to the context. It's a shame to have visited the Duomo and Santa Croce without knowing about this beautiful initiative... it will be a reason to return. Well done

We visited the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella today and by chance we met Mr. BRUNO LAPI who acted as our guide. He 'was exceptional, he transmitted the love for his city and led us to the discovery of many details that alone we would not have been able to grasp. Thank you very much Mr. Bruno!

I took a guided tour of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella and then visited the exhibition "Celestial splendors. The observation of the sky from Galileo to gravitational waves". Bruno L. was really good, prepared and welcoming. This experience is absolutely worth living.

We were greeted by the sign. Bruno Lapi who gave us an unexpected guided tour that we were very excited about. It accompanied us to the knowledge of details that we could never see alone.
We offered eyes to "know how to see" the art of this magnificent church that is Santa Maria Novella.
In addition to artistic knowledge, it gave us the thrill of entering the lives of the characters protagonists of the frescoes, making us educated and participants in a story that is that of all of us.
Thank you again to Mr. Bruno Lapi for sharing with us his time and passion so that we would not define free but "priceless".

It was a highly positive experience. We were looked after and accompanied in a very professional and attentive way. Mr. Bruno Lapi conveyed to us a passion for "his church" which made us emotional.
Thanks again for what you received!
