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!

Wonderful introduction to Florence gems based on what we wanted to enjoy while in Florence. Set your own pace tour guide had a delightful manner, sense of humor, knowledgeable of Florence’s history, culture, art, politics, geography. He appreciated our questions and pointed out some curiosities. We were provided so many customized suggestions for best places to enjoy authentic Tuscan cuisine, wine, gelato (we have multiple food sensitivities), shopping for specific items made in Florence. For example, after touring the leather school, we know how to recognize the authentic leather items made in Florence.

Martina was FANTASTIC!!! She was the perfect mix of showing us around the city, giving the historical information, favorites of the city and passing us through hidden gems. I’ve already passed her info along to other friends coming to Florence. If you have a few hours and want to get acquainted with the city, this is a must!
