Description

This tour is the best walking tour that you can ever have in Florence. It is a great introduction to the city for both first-timers as well as returners. It covers the main attractions of the city and also the hidden gems that are well and truly "off the beaten track" and gives you facts you wouldn't know or notice walking around by yourself.

While you'll be led through the city you will be even accompanied through three centuries full of thrilling stories about the Medici family who influenced Florence’s history; little by little the Renaissance will become alive in front of you.

You will not be involved in a boring, neutral lecture, but in a pleasant stroll through the center of Florence, taking in everything as it comes but also learning plenty about the history of the city in a friendly and easy-going atmosphere to let you get a unique and unforgettable experience.

Our tours are conducted by professional and licensed tour guides, and it's TOTALLY FREE to book and join the group, but we recommend rewarding the guide at least 10 euro for his/her job and to support the project.

A must if you want to leave Florence with complete experience

Manuel was an incredible story-teller with subtle sense of humor. You can feel that he loves his town and is passionate about his job. I very happy we took the tour, as our experience in Florence would have been incomplete without it. He told us stories and took us to hidden places that you would never find no matter how hard Google or even any AI would try.

Excellent tour

Our guide was amazing! Really gave us a different perspective of Florence. With his subtle jokes, it made quite a knowledgeable 2 hours. Must go????

Great tour

Really enjoyed this tour. The guide really gave a good understanding of not just the specific sites but for background and how the city developed

Historic context to Florence

You’ll learn a lot about the medieval history of Florence, the Medici family and the relations with the Pope, it certainly lights the town in new perspective. In classic free tour spirit you get nice tips for local gastro scene which is always appreciated. The only downside is the ear piece you have to wear (and rent for 1.5€) just a small inconvenience tho
