Our guide Manuel was so knowledgeable and such a patriot to Florence. It was such a wonderful history lesson. Highly recommend!
Lisa_K, Apr 2026
Great information but be prepared to weave through heavy crowds of people on the tour. Lots of historical information
MaryAnn_M, Apr 2026
Manuel was a great guide! We loved his passion and knowledge of Florence. It’s nice to know about details of buildings we would have usually just walked by. Highly recommend!
Amanda_O, Apr 2026
I love a walking tour. There is just something so cool you can’t get with tours of individual sights. Our guide really did. Great job and keeping us engaged throughout and Florence is such a walkable city. Recommend!
MarkLouie_L, Apr 2026
This was our last day in Florence (after having roamed around for 2 nights) and it was still something we needed as there were hidden gems we didn't know about that we discovered on this walking tour, thank to Manual (our tour guide). I highly recommend do it upon arrival to Florence, so you can maximize the places you would discover worth double-clicking on aftee the tour. Enjoy Florence, it is one of the most amazing places in the world.
Lydia_R, Apr 2026
Manuel was a great tour guide. We had a nice tour and learned alot of really cool information. He knows all the best ways to get places, and had reccomendations of places to go also. I would recommend Manuel & this tour if your visiting florence, especially for the 1st time.
Andree_B, Apr 2026

Eric_S, Apr 2026
Great tour by Sarah. Perfect amount of time and information. My family really enjoyed. Highly recommend.
Elaine_A, Apr 2026
This was a great experience with wonderful stories from behind the scenes. Would definitely recommend to someone interested in a quick look into the history of Florence, without having to go inside all the crowded buildings.
Ellen_D, Apr 2026
Each member of the family found this tour interesting and engaging. We particularly liked the style of our guide who brought the history to life through stories - far better than just an explanation of the history through facts and dates. Also really liked how our guide facilitated through the streets ands parts of a museum.
Angie_L, Mar 2026
The walking tour in Florence was absolutely amazing. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic, bringing the city’s history to life in a memorable and engaging way. He showed us incredible monuments and shared fascinating insights that made every moment enjoyable. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to any family visiting Florence.

Our guide Sarah was lovely and offered a great introduction to Florence. Knowledgeable and enjoyable. Loved it. Easy walking. Fantastico!
Cheryl_P, Mar 2026
We had a fantastic walking tour through Florence. Started with 6 of us, the other family cut out early. It was basically a personal tour for my husband and I. Learned a lot of history about Florence including all the important “players” through history. We saw places and learned things we wouldn’t have without this local guides knowledge, being born and raised here. He Made it so interesting, the 2 hours flew by! Highly recommend this tour. So worth it!
Chris_W, Mar 2026
Great tour to orientate yourself with the main spine, and some hidden places, of Florence.
Our guide - Manuel - was full of knowledge and facts which really helped put some structure to what we were seeing. Felt like I had a journey through the ages and and came away with not just a better understanding of the city, but of the birth of the renaissance period.
Vanessa_J, Mar 2026
The tour guide provided a great overview of some of the history of the city, and it was an interesting way to start our visit. Also provided a list of recommended restaurants and shops which was helpful.
Judith_B, Mar 2026
Really informative and friendly tour guide.
Great overview upon arrival to Florence.
Definitely recommend.
Diane_J, Mar 2026
Florence is a beautiful city full of interesting history and stunning architecture. Our guide today brought the history to life with his detailed knowledge and brilliant delivery. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting this unforgettable location.
Kelly_F, Mar 2026
It is not the typical tourist stops but more history of Florence and why things are there. Very informative. Manuel did a good job of explaining and seems to be very knowledgeable of Florence history.
Pedro_C, Mar 2026
Manuel was amazing! We were the only ones on the tour with him. He was patient with our slow gait. He gave us an informative tour.
Mark_M, Mar 2026
Manuel was great...we journeyed back in time from today back to 12th Century...each building is a museum in Florence!
Jane_W, Feb 2026
Excellent tour, very knowledgeable guide. The best way to see Florence. Would definitely recommend to everyone.
Ashish_N, Feb 2026
Amazing way to get introduced to the beautiful city of Firenze. Would recommend strongly to friends and family visiting Florence
Dana_V, Feb 2026
We had the best tour today! Manuel was super personable and knowledgeable. It’s a great way to see not only the popular spots but some off the beaten path places as well. He gave us tips of things to look out for that you might not notice and gave us recommendations for more places to see and eat.
Lucinda_W, Feb 2026
Wonderful and informative tour of Florence. Our guide did a great job and we saw a lot in 2 hours. I recommend taking this tour first before going to attractions as it helps understand the city and history.
Melissa_E, Jan 2026
Samona was an excellent guide: we learned so much through her love for her city, her extensive knowledge, and her humor. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Silva_A, Jan 2026
You will see the true story of Florence and discover famous places. Gives an informed overview of the city.
Kristen_S, Dec 2025
Manuel was such a great guide. He shared knowledge about Florence we couldn’t have found in a guide or museum, this was easily one of our favorite parts of the trip
Angela_W, Dec 2025
Manuel was a very knowledgeable guide with an obvious passion for his home city. We saw lots of wonderful things and learnt a lot that we would not have done otherwise. Perfect pace and distance covered. Well worth it.
Jordii, Dec 2025
A very interesting tour around the streets of Florence. Our tour was small and personable and we felt more connected with the history of this historic Renaissance city. Would definitely recommend!
Kate_E, Dec 2025
Highly recommend this tour. Excellent tour guide, we learned so much about the history of Florence with special insight from our guide. We walked at a comfortable pace yet saw the heart of Florence. One of my favorite tours yet.
