Private Tour: Florence Walking Tour

Florence, Italy

Starting at Piazza Santa Maria Novella (exterior visit), with its beautiful Dominican church you'll then proceed through the characteristic little square of the Croce al Trebbio, and then reach Palazzo Strozzi.

Further on you'll arrive at Palazzo Davanzati and the 14th century Palagio di Parte Guelfa by Brunelleschi. Your English-speaking guide will lead you to Ponte Vecchio, the 'Jewelers Bridge' and a symbolic Florentine icon. Pass through the Piazzale degli Uffizi to enter Piazza della Signoria, a splendid open-air sculpture museum, overlooked by the famous and imposing Palazzo Vecchio.

Your private guided tour continues through the heart of the Medieval city to Dante Alighieri's house and church, and then finally to Cathedral Complex.

This in-depth, private tour is hosted by an English-speaking guide. Please list any special interests you have (art, architecture, history, culture) at the time of booking to alert your guide, so that he or she can prepare for your private tour.

Our guide Alessandra was fabulous and worth every penny. She has a delightful personality and is extremely knowledgeable in art history. She loves her city and it is very evident in her enthusiasm.

we had a wonderful time visisting Florence. Our tour guide Alessandra was amazing. Her english was great and she was very knowledgeable about everything in Florence. She let us decide what we wanted to see and answered any and all of our questions. The tour was just long enough to get a sense of Florence but left us enough time to explore on our own. We were very please and would reccommend this tour.

Started off slow, but then was very good and informative. Great way to get a feel for the city on our first day there.

This tour was a wonderful experience. The guide was a passionate Florentine who truly gave us an appreciation for the culture and history of the city. If you can afford only one guided tour, make it this one.

Our guide was wonderful and set the perfect tone for our Florence adventure.

This was a really great trip and worth the money. Our guide met us at the appointed time and asked us what we'd be interested in seeing. We opted for a general guide to help us find our way round for the rest of the trip. She was more than helpful in taking us places off the beaten track, and showing us museums and churches that were not as widely visited and therefore had less queuing, and were also free or inexpensive. We visited a couple of these places the following day. Our guide was very informative, definitely knew her stuff, and threw in some really interesting facts as well. This trip is a really worthwhile way to find your bearings and to understand the places to go and the times to go. It's also a good way to find out more about the places before you visit.
