As a non-Christian, I also had some basic questions about Biblical figures and stories which she also explained patiently so I understood the context better. I highly recommend Chiara as well the tour company for any tours. When our original tour was cancelled due to museum closure during heavy rains, they worked with me to find another time and date when I could join.Read more”

Practice first, visit San Miniato al Monte, pass Galileo’s former home, and eat bruschetta, pasta, cheese, and salami at a country estate. A Fiat alternative is available if riding is not suitable.

“I would not book this if you have NEVER been on a Vespa or some type of scooter. They say Vespa experience is recommended, but they should make it a requirement to have Vespa experience. The tour itself was nice and very pretty with a nice lunch. We were able to see beautiful parts of Florence higher up and got great views of the city. They show you how to drive the Vespa in front of everyone participating just up a hill and back. This isn’t enough time to learn or be comfortable for first-time drivers. It’s also really intimidating practicing in front of everyone as there were some people…”
