Your walking tour begins in central Florence, where you join up with your guide to explore some of the world’s greatest architectural and artistic masterpieces. Your guide discusses in detail how Florence became the ‘cradle of the Renaissance’ as you walk. Learn about the patronage of the Medici family, Leonardo da Vinci’s plans for the city, and scandalous events in Florentine history.

Travel through Piazza della Repubblica, and continue to the site of the Baptistery, Giotto’s Bell Tower, and the iconic Duomo, featuring Brunelleschi's Dome.

See the magnificent churches of San Lorenzo, Santo Spirito, and St. Trinity, before following your guide to the Arno River for views of the Ponte Vecchio.

After a tasty gelato break (included) near Pitti Palace, head to Piazza della Signoria, a popular hub of activity that hosts the Palazzo Vecchio, an open-air sculpture display and shops and cafes.

Thanks for a great experience! My guide Francesca was interesting, committet and brought the history of Firenze to life. It was clear that Francesca had a love for her town and town history. It was wonderful to walk around with someone who is as committed as Francesca. Thanks for the tips for good restaurants and for the tasty gelato :) Finally, thanks for not cancel the trip, even though I was the only participant.

Amazing Tour that did NOT cancel!
Elizabeth_T
, Jul 2020
With all the COVID-19 travel restrictions, it is very difficult to find a tour that will not cancel on you. I booked 3 on my trip to Florence and 2 canceled on me, but not this one! I was so happy that this company did NOT cancel on me even though I ended up as the only person on the tour, and it was a wonderful experience! My guide was very knowledgeable and shared all the conspiracy theories of the Medici with me! It was a great and personal experience! She even went out of the way to show me where I can buy quality souvenirs I was looking for and where to eat! Definitely recommend!
