The 2 gallery tours were good but we skimped on other things, for example we didn’t go inside the duomo or visit ponte vecchio or the central market even though we had plenty of time. The tour was 9:45-2:15 with 1 1/2 hours of breaks. - so only 4 hours of actual tour. Therefore overpriced. The guide Stefano was knowledgeable about art history and was very informative.”
