Yes, Florence walking tours are definitely worth it. While the city's art-filled historic center is impressive to explore on your own, a guided tour reveals the stories and sights you might otherwise miss in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Plus, guides don't just share interesting facts on your tour—they can also give you tips and recommendations for the rest of your time in Florence.

Per one customer who booked David & Accademia Guided Tour with Skip the Line Entry, "This tour was a lot of fun and made wandering the streets of Florence more meaningful—learning about the buildings and statues and artwork made it more interesting. The guide was very informative and had a lot of fun facts and info. The David statue was gorgeous, and entry was quick and easy. I recommend this walking tour!"

Florence has hundreds of different walking tours, so you should be able to find an option that suits your budget, interest, and needs. You can save money by booking a self-guided or group tour, while private tours are best if you’d like to customize your itinerary and get more personalized attention from your guide. Check what’s included on your tour before booking—some tours just pass by Florence’s top attractions, while others include entry to museums and churches.

The best way to enjoy Florence walking tours is to wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather, as you’ll likely spend most of the experience outdoors. Pack an umbrella for the rainy fall and spring months, and put on sunscreen in the summer.
