We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour immersion in Florentine fashion as we strolled around with Ivan, hearing fascinating stories and history about the key players from Ferragamo and Fendi to Gucci and Pucci. The Palazzo Gucci was great but better still was Ivan’s incredible knowledge on all things fashion, luxury ans local lore. I loved this tour as did my 14 year old daughter who proclaimed it a highlight of the trip. Thank you so much. Ivan - you’re a brilliant storyteller.”
