Description

Join us on a walking tour that begins among the glittering fashion boutiques of Via Tornabuoni and continues with the architectural splendor of Palazzo Strozzi. From there, we will head towards Piazza della Repubblica, the vibrant heart of the city.

The tour continues to the magnificent Piazza del Duomo, where we will stop to admire the impressive cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery. Next, we will enter the medieval alleys of Dante's quarter to follow in the footsteps of the "Poet Supreme". It is here that we will discover a charming "wine window" (buchetta del vino), a curious and unique Florentine tradition!

Our historical immersion continues in Piazza della Signoria, dominated by the majestic Palazzo Vecchio. We will pass by the treasures of the Uffizi Gallery before discovering the gold of the famous Ponte Vecchio and the secret of Vasari's Corridor.

Finally, we will conclude at the "Porcellino" market to fulfill a local tradition: rubbing the snout of the little bronze pig to make sure that luck will bring you back to Florence very soon!

INCREDIBLE

I did the night time Medici tour, walking through the city centre (old city centre). Learning about all the important historic regions. My favourite part was the medieval section. My tour guide was SO knowledgeable and he made it fun. The tour was 2.5 hours - I honestly can’t believe it was free. The amount of information we gained and the areas we saw were incredible. Also lucked out that our group size was small. Had this site recommended to me by some other tourists and I was so happy to learn of it. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone!! (It is 2.5 hrs of walking roughly, so wear good shoes!)

Fantastic tour, fantastic guide

Stefano is super energetic and one of the most engaged tour guides I’ve seen in my tours across Europe. He personalised the tour and made sure all of us had fun. His knowledge was also top notch. Thank you Stefano for being an excellent guide and making sure we discover Florence in the right way.

Enthusiastic Stefano

Great tour. Stefano was very knowledgeable, engaging and kept us interested. Recommend this tour to get the lay of the land (do it your arrival/first day). Valuable information to help with your stay.

Could not be any better

Stefano is a very talented guy. He never lost his high level of energy. He organized the tour terrific, although we were lot of people, with young children too. After the tour my family and I, felled that we learned lot of information not only regarding the city of Florence, the Medici family and the other important persons that lived in the city, but also the culture, the food, and many secrets. It could not be any better!
