    This show is definitely worth watching and a complete contrast to the Renaissance Court Banquet that we also went to whilst in Florence. Start with the dinner. I am writing a different review of the restaurant, but it was good value with good service and...More

    The centre of Florence

    My wife and I saw Florence (Firenze) while it was raining cats and dogs. That was a pity, because we missed a lot places of interest. But what we saw was magnificent. When you are in Tuscany, a visit to Florence is definitely recommended.

    If you're looking for an evening full of surprises, then this is the show for you. The staging is intimate and the cast is small which I felt made the experience even more enjoyable. Three talented actors gave excellent performances (including bursting into song every...More

    But it was hilarious. Staying in Florence for a few days and saw a flier for this. Didn't know what to expect but we laughed (and cringed slightly) all the way through. Paint brush duelling artists, musical renditions of tragic faecal floods and a healthy...More

    Fantastic show, don't miss out!
