    Fine time in Florence

    Danelle_R, Mar 2026
    The tour was relaxed and worth doing before our stay so we could understand what we should see during our stay.

    Fantastic value, great guide, book it!

    Fantastic tour that went at a good pace. Tour guide was easy to understand, had great insights and stories, and showed us so many great places! Hot tip was to visit the leather school (Scuola del Cuoio) for fantastic leather goods at great prices. Highly recommend this tour! Glad that the low upfront cost and instead tipping allows more of the revenue to go to the tour guide instead of commissions.

    Perfect way to see the highlights of Florence if you’ve never been here before!

    This is a great way to understand the highlights of Florence that you will not want to miss. Our guide grew up in the area of Florence and was very well versed in the city and he also shared some of his favorite spots to eat, etc. - that I’m sure we would have never found! He had a great sense of humor and was very enthusiastic when speaking to us. His love for Florence was infectious! So glad we did this on our first full day here!

    Walk and eat through Rome!

    What a wonderful way to explore random establishments to taste authentic cuisine and drinks! Our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable about the various items we tasted. The walk through the city at night was amazing especially since they were prepping for the holiday season-beautiful lights etc made it even memorable! Enjoyed meeting new travelers during the tour.

    Armando was our guide. He was excellent. Armando provided sooo much information regarding Florence. This included places to eat, opening & closing times for everything in Florence and the history of the places that he took us. This may have been the best tour we took in Italy.

    We scheduled this walking tour for our arrival day & it was perfect for us to get a summary overview of Florence. Gino was our guide. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about Florence. Besides pointing out & providing a wealth of information about the various sights, he also gave food/restaurant/shopping recommendations, which was very helpful. If you want to get a great overview of Florence, I highly recommend this tour.
