Florence
We only had a long weekend to do the city and so your tour really helped us get our bearings. There's just so much to see there! I know we only scraped the surface but it worked really well for us.

Venice
This was a great tour that took you everywhere you needed to go. Particularly liked the walk through of the mosaic frescoes on the front of the Basilica. We had a great time in Venice, made all the more special by this evocative guide. Like the speaker's voice too - one of the best I've listened to.

NICE CITY GUIDE: The ancient Greeks who first settled here called it Nikaia after Nike, their goddess of victory.
It was during the eighteenth century that the English started arriving in the area and the Reverend Lewis Way initiated the building of a seafront walkway, the Promenade des Anglais, in the 1820s.
Ever since, Nice has been synonymous with luxury holidays. Our guide to Nice gives you a tour of the old and new towns to complement your beach holiday while our unique, regularly updated pdf Printed Guide tells you where to eat, drink and shop.
