Let a local lead the way

On Florence walking tours, it’s incredibly easy to get sidetracked by seemingly endless Renaissance masterpieces, from the Duomo to Michelangelo’s “David”. But on our walking tours in Florence led by local insiders, you’ll have the opportunity to explore so much more than just the top attractions. Our local insiders are intimately familiar with every corner of Florence’s vast cityscape, and on walking tours in Florence with them, you’ll be able to walk a path that gives you the perfect mix of must-sees and the sights your guidebook doesn’t even know about. The real Florence is waiting!

Get off the beaten track

Everyone knows that central Florence’s historic cobbled streets are a hive of activity year-round, but taking the road less traveled on Florence walking tours creates a new perspective on the city. Peek behind the curtain into modern Florentine life at local markets, cozy wine bars, and hidden terrace cafés. Quieter streets away from the bustle reveal all sorts of secrets, from the home of Carlo Lorenzini, the author of “Pinocchio”, to the Laurentian Library, Michelangelo’s least-visited architectural work. Let your walking tours in Florence reveal places you never dreamed you’d see.

Florence food tours on foot

It’s not every day you taste cuisine with roots in the Middle Ages – but on Florence walking tours, you’ll be fueled by food that’s been around for centuries. Our Florence walking food tours let you taste the very best of the Tuscan capital. Grab an extra-creamy gelato, and stroll along restaurant-lined streets on your walking tours in Florence. From the 150-year-old Sant'Ambrogio Market in the “gourmet ghetto” of the city to restaurants that range from family-run to formal, Florence walking food tours reveal a food scene that’s a perfect balance of elegance and indulgence.

My Wife and I booked an 8-hour walking tour in Florence to celebrate our wedding Anniversary. Martina was our local host. The whole walking tour was laid back and we got to experience some of the local haunts including food and drink stops and a one-of-a-kind mosaic family workshop and saw from the outside most of the main sites around the centre of Florence. We would have maybe liked a bit more historical information but having a pleasant and knowledgeable local who tailored the tour according to our wishes, and just enjoying the ambience made this tour special. Thank you, Martina,
