Loved this tour. Demetrius, our guide was knowledgeable a and spoke excellent English. She was able to answer all of our questions about Florence and it's culture. I recommend this tour wholeheartedly.
The tour takes you into the duomo and cutting the line there is definitely desirable. Otherwise you get a reasonably good idea of where the major sites are to come back later and visit in more detail. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about the history of Florence.
