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!

RiLi was a wonderful guide around Florence. She shared with use insightful points about the city and its history, as well as good tips about shopping and which gelato shop is the “real stuff”. (It should always be covered not piled high) She was friendly and patient with our many questions! Great day and great walk about.

Martina was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable about Florence. She tailored my tour to meet what I was looking for and sent me links to more places we didn’t have time to get to.
