OVERVIEW

What you'll see.

Discover the magic of Florence on a small group walking tour, where every step reveals the city’s rich history, stunning architecture, and artistic masterpieces.

The Renaissance city on foot

Discover the timeless charm of Florence on a small group walking tour, exploring the city's most iconic highlights with an expert guide. Florence's historic centre is one of the world's great walking cities, compact, dense with stories, and best understood at street level, where every corner reveals another chapter of Renaissance art, architecture and culture.

The essential Florence

Begin at Piazza del Duomo, where the cathedral and Brunelleschi's dome still preside over the city as they have for centuries. Stroll bustling streets and hidden alleys to Piazza della Signoria, Florence's political and artistic hub, ringed by historic buildings and studded with sculpture, the replica of Michelangelo's David, the Neptune Fountain, and more. Cross the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's oldest and most picturesque bridge, its goldsmiths' shops trading there for centuries, and admire the exterior of the Uffizi Gallery while your guide unpacks the Medici family's role in shaping the city's cultural legacy. The walk continues to Piazza Santa Croce and its great basilica.

Small group, bigger experience

With numbers deliberately limited, the tour stays intimate and conversational, questions welcome, pace relaxed, and room for the lesser-known streets, artisan corners and captivating stories that large groups simply march past.

Good to know

The 2-hour tour includes a professional local guide and the walking tour through the historic centre; entrance fees to museums aren't included (this is an outdoor walking experience). Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather, it runs rain or shine. Group size is limited to keep the quality high, so early booking is recommended. The ideal first move of any Florence stay: two hours in, you'll have your bearings, your must-return list, and a head full of stories. It also pairs beautifully with an afternoon museum visit, since you'll finish right in the heart of everything worth entering.
