Private Florence Walking Tour

Florence Sightseeing with a Licensed Guide

You can (and should) explore Florence on your own, walking the streets and taking in the beautiful architecture. But there is so much to see and discover in Florence if you take a Florence walking tour with one of our experienced tour guides.

Visit the Duomo, Florence

Our licensed tour guides will bring you into the heart of Florence, starting at the city’s most famous attraction: the Duomo. This breath-taking gothic cathedral has one of the world’s largest domes — in fact, after it was completed in 1436, the Duomo di Firenze (the Italian name for it) had the largest dome in the world and it still holds the world record for being the largest brick dome in the world. The great terracotta dome is situated alongside Giotto’s bell tower and the Romanesque Baptistery. 

Follow your local Florentine guide along the streets Dante once walked. See through the eyes of a local and gain insights into the city’s colourful history. Explore the city’s piazzas, its markets, and the local shops. Take some time to admire the Piazza della Signoria — the political centre of the city — and the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most visited museums in the world. If Florentine art is of particular interest to you, you may like to also take our Galleria Accademia Florence Tour — this gallery boasts the greatest collection of Renaissance art from Florence, with many of Michelangelo’s sculptures, including his legendary work: David. 

After this, you will cross the famous Ponte Vecchio Bridge and take a moment to marvel at Florence’s artisan jewellery shops nearby before moving towards Palazzo Pitti, where the tour ends.
