Beautiful artefacts displayed in a fantastic location, spoiled however by utter confusion with misleading maps and poor signage. Multi lingual descriptions would have greatly enhanced the experience. Everyone looked utterly confused.

The tour operator Star Florence changed the trip timing from 10:30am to 11:30am. They asked me to come to a certain point @ 11:15pm via email. When I arrived at the point, there was no indication of a Star Florence Representative. When I located them, they stated that we were late and had given the tickets away. They stated that I would need to request a refund from La Vacanza Travel. Reached out to La Vacanza Travel after returning back. La Vacanza Travel is unable to refund stating that they have already been billed. This is truly unprofessional both from La Vacanza Travel and Star Florence. Will be taking this up further with the credit card merchant.
