Overall

The highlight of our recent visit to Florence was the Wine Tasting tour to the Tuscany region. It was a fun day-trip with beautiful scenery, great food and spectacular wines! The museums and architecture in the city are astounding, many of the lesser known buildings were the most impressive to me. The wait for the Ufizzi can be deceptive. Even though the posted wait time for admission was 1.5-2 hours, the actual wait was 3.5 hours. Street vendors laying prints and paintings on the pavement was always a hassle. It seemed they were trying to get one stepped on just so they could claim a sell. I would also suggest at least one meal at Da Tito Trattoria. It was near our lodging and we stopped in one night just as they were closing. They were so friendly and inviting that we actually ordered more food than we needed, but it was all so fantastic, we came back 2 more times and were more impressed after each visit. We spent time in Rome and Venice as well, but this was the best eatery by far.
