Yes, Florence is a city best explored with an insider. While some Italian cities have transitioned over the centuries into more modern metropolises, Florence retains much of its medieval charm, and it is best experienced by walking its streets with a local guide who can offer insights into almost every corner of the city or the surrounding countryside.

Per one customer who booked The Best Tour in Florence: Renaissance and Medici Tales - Guided by a Storyteller, "This is a great tour that gives an awesome history and lay of the land of Florence. Our guide Fabio was awesome and really added to what is a good tour for first timers and repeat visitors to Florence. Following the tour he gave us great advice on other areas of the city to visit and was willing to answer any questions about food/restaurants as he is a native Florentine himself!"

These kinds of tours are broad, meaning they can range from an hour-long walk through the old town to a full-day trip to a wine estate in Tuscany or even further.
