Meet your local guide and small group of up to 15 people in central Florence. Set out to explore the city on foot, starting with a visit to the magnificent Church of Santa Croce, where Michelangelo, Rossini, and Machiavelli are buried.

Continue to Piazza dei Peruzzi to see the Bargello Palace, a striking medieval building often overlooked by visitors to Florence. Next, pass through the lively Porcellino market and stop to pose for photos on the Ponte Vecchio, as your guide fills you in on the history of the renowned 14th-century bridge.

The next stop is Piazza della Signoria, the political heart of Florence, where highlights include the grand Palazzo Vecchio, and the legendary Uffizi Gallery (entrance not included), home to masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael.

Finally, arrive at the spectacular centerpiece of Florence – Piazza Duomo, where you can marvel at the stunning Florence Cathedral and admire other architectural wonders, including Brunelleschi’s Dome, Giotto’s bell tower, and the Baptistery.

After a morning taking in the city highlights, your tour ends by the Church of San Lorenzo, where you can continue exploring the nearby markets or stop for lunch (own expense) at one of the many restaurants.

A perfect introduction to beautiful Florence...

This tour was exactly what we were looking for. A perfect opportunity to get our bearings in Florence and to get a sense of what we might like to revisit in subsequent days. Our guide, Daniel, was great -- with lots of wonderful suggestions of what a person might want to do and see in Florence. We took several of his suggestions in the days that followed and -- in so doing -- found our way to some really special Florence experiences.

Our guide Daniel met us at the station and tailored our walk to our specific wants. Two hours probably wasn’t long enough but we were ready for a rest and enjoyed our lunch at a restaurant recommended by Daniel. An excellent and interesting tour.

This was amazing- exactly what we wanted. We did this tour shortly after we arrived in Florence. This gave us the opportunity to see how truly Florence is a walking city and what to expect and to make sure we didn't miss. We loved our tour guide, Alicea, she was very knowledge and fun! Thank you!

Walking tour of Florence

We had a wonderful time in Florence, although very hot, we had a guide to ourselves who shared many stories about the architecture and history of Florence on a morning walking tour. The shops, food and scenery were amazing - only wish we had more time to explore - we had to be back on a bus to the cruise port by 3:30 which does cut the day short - we'll have to return to see more.
