Very impressed with everything about Walks tours. Plan on booking tours thru your company again

We used your company when visiting Rome in 2019 and so were confident the quality of the tour would be good. We were not disappointed. The knowledge and passion of our excellent tour guide was obvious and we learned so much about the history of Florence and about art and it's development from Byzantine through renaissance. Worth every penny and look forward to using your company again.
