      This is an outdoor walking tour. Entrance to the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Vecchio and other monuments is not included. Food, drinks, hotel transfers and personal expenses are also excluded.

      Please note

        This experience takes place mainly outdoors and involves approximately two hours of walking through Florence’s historic centre. Some streets have uneven cobblestones, so comfortable footwear is recommended.

        The tour runs in most weather conditions. Please dress appropriately for the season and arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes before departure.

        The itinerary does not include interior monument visits, so there are no long museum queues or extensive staircases.

        What to bring
          • Comfortable walking shoes; Florence’s cobblestones are beautiful, but not made for heels
          • A light jacket or extra layer for the evening
          • A bottle of water
          • Sunglasses, especially during golden hour
          • A fully charged phone or camera; Ponte Vecchio at sunset deserves it
          • Your curiosity; we’ll take care of the stories
          • A little extra space in your evening for an aperitivo after the tour
