How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Florence is filled with countless attractions spanning millennia – but, from experiencing the archaeological layers of the ancient Roman city on Piazza della Signoria and Piazza della Repubblica to being blown away by the historic city center’s unexpectedly trendy shops and cool cafes (and indulging in an espresso and Tuscan cantuccio – biscotti), you’ll experience 20 of the city’s top attractions in just eight hours. You’ll see the perfectly preserved medieval streets, fortified palaces, and frescoed churches that make Florence famous – but more than that, your local insider will show you places you didn’t even know existed, like a column on Piazza del Duomo marking the location of an eighth-century miracle!

Great experience … would do something like this for every new city we visit in the future. Having someone that knows they area show you around makes you become so much more familiar with your holiday stop.

We had an amazing experience on our private tour of Florence. Our guide, Gianmarco, was incredibly kind, professional, and passionate about the city. His deep knowledge of Florence’s history, art, and hidden gems made the tour not only informative but also really enjoyable. He gave us great tips and recommendations to make the most of our stay—from local restaurants to lesser-known museums that are truly worth visiting. It was clear that he loves what he does, and he made us feel like locals for a day. Highly recommended!
