Over all this was a good tour. Booked because of the small group (which became larger when another 8 people were added to our group) to see David. My only suggestion would be to add more time in Florence and less in Pisa. Everyone was ready to leave Pisa before the driver came. Really felt rushed in Florence.
Minimal walking is open for interpretation. Overall the tour was good however I did not appreciate the fact that our group had to stand around and wait 15-20 minutes for another small group. That was 15-20 minutes wasted.
Our driver Stefano was fantastic. He’s new to the industry, but not to living in the area. He shared so much about the towns we drove through, got us through horrible traffic without an issues, and was willing to adjust the plan to get us everywhere and make us happy! Beatrice is as our guide, and she was so knowledgeable. Showed us all sorts of insider tidbits, and helped us learn so much about beautiful Florence. It was a super hot day and both were willing to accommodate our heat tolerance.
