Incredible Tour with Irina of the Medici Chapels

Published on Dec, 2024

I've taken many tours in Europe over the years and this was one of my two favorite tours of all time---the other one was also on this trip and was also with Irina (her Uffizi Tour). She is incredibly knowledgeable and provides interesting details and information that we would not otherwise have learned from a guide book. She is also very sweet, speaks perfect English and was a delight to be with for a couple of hours.

Very informative and...
