RufusTFirefly: thanks for the input. You'll notice that we are only in Florence for one full day as Pisa is a half day and we are in the countryside for another full day making Pasta and drinking wine. So we only have about a day and a half actually to tour Florence.

I am the art lover and one day of it is the price she pays for the trip.

Your advice is appreciated and I am sorry you are not a fan of Florence.
