passions it broadens the mind. So which better activity could I choose for myself than that of being involved with fellow travelers!

Both the Florence walks and the museum tours, because of the complexity and wealth of what Florence has to offer. Florence has more than 2000 years of history and though town there are many traces of that history and discovering them is fun. The museums in Florence are complex and full of art work, one can walk through them and not see or walk through them seeing, learning and understanding what lead an artist to create a painting in the way he or she did.

"We all had been to Firenze before. Some of us four times. But we did not get to know Firenze until now, with you. And we realize, Elisabetta, that what we received from you was like an appetizer, but an appetizer from a 5 star restaurant. We now know how to enjoy, savor, each morsel from this magnificent banquet called Firenze. You are a very special person with a God
given talent that allows you to transport those within your reach to another level of interest. We now wish to keep on learning and enjoying all about Italy and its interesting history."
