  • Great story-driven insights into Florence

    We took the Medici tour and found it very engaging as he walks you round the streets he walked and explains his motives behind various buildings he had constructed. The voice acting was especially good. The app also works well, with no bugs during our time using it.

    Amazingly well made app which is both a fun and hugely informative way to discover the lives of real people who inhabited Renaissance Florence. I especially enjoyed the ‘crime and punishment’ and ‘master of Florence’ walk which show you tiny fragments of the past hidden on busy tourist streets in the centre. Can’t believe it’s free!

  • Amazing way to visit the city!

    We visited Florence with teenagers and we loved going round as a group, following Giovanni first and then the famous Cosimo. The stories are great - you visit new places and get to see known ones from a new perspective- history but fun!! We’re regular visitors to Florence and this have us a brand new experience. Definitely do it!

  • Great informative app

    The best app for exploring Florence and bringing the Renaissance to life. Get transported into another era as you follow footsteps of famous and average Florentines. easy to use. Recommended for any age group!
  • Amazing app!

    This is the best city tour style app I’ve ever used, I got to see so much of Florence that I wouldn’t had thought to see otherwise. The information given is great, not too much but also the option to have more - and the characters are really interesting!
  • Pretty cool!

    1: it's free
    2: it adds fantastic layers of depth to the city. You feel like a detective following faded clues that only you can see.
    Excellent work and thanks!
    Ps: it was slightly odd to have a lahndan narrator, but we understand that its better than hiring someone to do a 'whatsamatter you? shudupa yo face' voice.

  • Really discover the city

    We'd been in Florence for a few days before following the app's walks. It made me look at the city in an entirely different way! The way the stories are told are very engaging and getting you to look at small details makes you notice them elsewhere. I heartily recommend this to anyone who wants to get a better appreciation of the city!

  • Intelligently done

    A very informative app giving in-depth information on a limited number of sites. This is useful not just for the visitor to Florence but, even more so, for the student of the Renaissance, sitting in his or her armchair, who wants to learn more about the culture and day-to-day life in the greatest citiy of the Quattrocento. Entertaining, visually interesting and instructive, in equal measures. Well done!
