Heather_H, May 2026

Loved the informative walking tour through Florence!

My 18 YO daughter and I attended this walking tour around Florence. Our guide, William, was knowledgeable, friendly and full of anecdotes. He took care to not lose anyone (there were eight of us on the tour) and his pacing worked well. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it!

Excellent tour. Sarah P...

Excellent tour. Sarah P was a great tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and provided clear information to us. She even guided us back to one of our stops to purchase items. We were a family of 9 adults and had a great time. Lots of wine and food provided on this tour.

Joshua_W, May 2026

Fantastic use of time and great value.

The guide was fantastic. Local and super knowledgeable. We actually did the Uffizi and Academia tour in the morning which covered some of the same ground (plus the museums), but this tour filled in with tons more local area info. We thought it might be repetitive, but turned out to be a great addition.

Great Stories

Really enjoyed this walking tour with Antonio. The spooky historical stories were a highlight — genuinely entertaining and memorable. I’d highly recommend it for anyone who wants to discover hidden gems and lesser-known spots you’d easily walk right past on your own.

The Best of Florence

Since it was our honeymoon, we were trying to avoid group tours as much as possible, but this was the perfect small-group tour for our trip. We got to see the highlights of Florence without spending too much time in any museum. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and so open to answering questions. We got especially lucky with our tour since we were the only ones that booked the extra part of the tour, so it was just us 2 and the tour guide for half of the tour. We learned and saw so much in a small amount of time and felt it was a great value for the money. Would definitely recommend!

Worth the climb!

The tour of the Florence cathedral with access to the north terraces and climb to the top of the dome was a highlight of our trip. So spectacular. Lorenzo was a fabulous tour guide, taking very good care of our group and sharing a wealth of info about the history, construction, art, people involved, etc. of the structures. Much of the experience felt exclusive.

Good information.

We really enjoyed our tour. We saw a lot we would not have seen nor known. The information was good and laid out nicely in the 1 hr 45 min tour. You do walk far and fairly fast so any troubles walking, you should avoid this tour. Sometimes the broken English is hard to understand, but you catch enough of it as you go.

Tasty Florence Street Food with Guided Walking of the City

Lindsey_A, May 2026

Great activity to start your stay in Florence!

The food was delicious and authentic. Our guide was very informative and helpful. She took us to authentic places and even showed us a few good spots to go to on our own! We got to see a working wine window and learn a bit about the city. I unfortunately cannot remember our guides name, but she had a blue jacket and shoulder length dark brown hair. We came hungry to the tour and left with full bellies of wine and food and delicious gelato! The gelateria was so good we came back to get affogato there the next day and it was delicious! Highly recommend this tour.

Greta was an absolute...

Greta was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with exploring the highlights of the beautiful city of Florence. She was able to adjust our schedule when we got held up in traffic and were a few minutes late. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city and all the sites we saw. She even gave us a couple recommendations on where to buy genuine leather goods (the girls each bought purses) and seeing the Boboli Gardens, which were spectactular with a beautiful view of the city from the other side of the river. Thank you Greta!

Walking Through History in Florence

My daughter and I had the best time on this half-day tour. It’s something every first-time visitor should experience—not just exploring the city on your own. It gave us a deeper appreciation of the history and made the whole trip even more memorable. Our tour guide was absolutely the best—knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. They made the entire experience enjoyable for both me and my daughter, and truly brought the history to life. We especially loved learning about Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, and the fascinating story of the Medici family. From humble beginnings as bankers, they rose to power and helped shape the city by supporting incredible artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Hearing how they influenced art, politics, and culture made everything we saw feel more meaningful.
