    The Campanile is a very wonderful attraction in Florence. This is my second time that I climbed this campanile. Once again, it was filled with crowds, even though we booked the trip for first thing in the morning. The climb is a bit difficult but at the end very worth it. Highly recommended for tourist who enjoy history and beautiful views. I strongly recommend that you book for first thing in the morning as queues are then very long during peak season.

    We queued for around 45 mins to get in to the church for free. It was well worth it! There are side entrances with much shorter queues for those that have paid for to climb the dome or bell tower so make sure you get into the right one!

    We stumbled upon this while walking through Florence. We watched the game where the former players get to go out for one game.
    It was so much fun. Something so different than American sports and it was great to see the pride each person had for their neighborhood!!
    If this even is happening while in Florence, you MUST go!

    This was our second visit to Walkabout Tours, this time returning for the Vespa tour. We were met at the meeting point by Fabio, a very lively, funny busy chap (reminded me a lot of Buddy the Elf 😀). He gave some great local info on our way up to the garage. On arrival we were met by the rest of the team Gabriel, Dario and Alex. We all had to complete a driving test prior to departure, in the end Pillion for me . We were divided into two groups, our team had Fabio in the Fiat 500 car as safety lead and Dario on Vespa at the rear of our group tour. Alex helped at tricky departures and turnings along the route which was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic route with two stops for views and lots of local information provided by our two guides. We enjoyed a meal at the Walkabout cookery school then return to garage to meet up with bus for return Florence. Super day, excellently organised. Would definitely recommend. Thanks to all the team.

    Two really solid rooms, perfect level of challenge for the two of us who have done lots of escape rooms before. The staff were really friendly and clearly loved escape rooms themselves so was great chatting to them before and after. Definitely recommend 👍🏻

    This is such a fun/unique activity to do if you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city! However If you or someone in your party don’t have some motorcycle or driving experience this is not the tour for you! Dejan who was leading the Vespa tour was the absolute best! Hilarious and such a fun time. Afterwards Luca gave a tour of a family owned winery. It was such a fun experience and was the highlight of our vacation!

    Such an amazing experience with our incredible guide, Leo! He provided easy to follow instructions on how to drive the vespas and interesting commentary about the history of all three scenic stops we made along the way.

    We could not have asked for a better day with Tommaso. This was our favorite day of our trip thus far. He was welcoming, funny, knowledgable and really created a wonderful experience and memorable day for us. If we ever return, we would love to spend another day touring with him.

    Can't say enough about this bike tour and the team! Beautiful views, excellent guides and high touch attention to fun, safety and comfort. Gorgeous bike ride route followed by lunch and wine tasting at a private home/castle. Thanks to Alessio, Angus and Leo for a fantastic experience!

    Hands down the best way to see Florence! John was incredible! Very knowledgeable and so accommodating with our 20 month old daughter. The route was easy to navigate and thoughtfully mapped out. Some of the best views of the city and a nice visit to a local winery with delicious wines and snacks! John even recommended an amazing place to eat lunch once we were done. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour. Please go do this! You won’t regret it.

    Our gelato tour was scheduled for a day when the temperature was predicted to be 102F. Our family plus two friends... who were dreading the adventure given the heat. And my goodness, did we all absolutely love the day. Between a morning departure, shaded country lanes and a downhill breeze, we were perfectly comfortable. Our guides, Chris Small and Francesco, were as delightful as they were knowledgable. They were brimming with fun facts, historic details, cultural insights and personal charm. In addition to biking and gelato, we enjoyed the towns (and tastes) of Castellina and San Gimignano. Truly, in our eyes, the outing was perfect. The guides, the coordination, the activities, the scenery -- perfect. We are longing for a re-do.

    I studied abroad in Florence this summer and went on three trips with Smart Trip. I went on one to Siena & Tuscany where we had a private wine tasting and lunch, cinque terre where we had plenty of time to explore, and my favorite Amalfi coast! If you're studying abroad Smart trips is the best because they organize everything for you, right down to the transportation between towns in Cinque. I never felt uncomfortable or unsure and all of the tour guides are amazing, especially Sophia! They made my friends and I feel so welcome. I feel like I spent way less than I should have for Amalfi because I literally had the time of my life and they organized amazing things for us and always made sure we had time to get in the water. When I come back to study abroad I plan on booking a smart trip every weekend! Also, I booked a Venice trip and was unable to go and only gave a couple hours notice and was still given a voucher to use for another trip! ❤️❤️100/10 recommend!!🌊🌸😇
