★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 233 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $219Our pick

Review of Florence’s private three-hour walking tour with Irina, covering Renaissance landmarks, Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy, and Ponte Vecchio.

“Irina was an excellent guide and provided a great overview of Florence. Even though it was raining, she made sure that we saw the highlights, and even found a cafe where our large family could stop for hot chocolate and wait out the rain. Irina did a great job of pointing out art, streets, and shops that we would have never noticed on our own. A highlight was the Perfumerie, and she also pointed out a great location that we returned to for dinner. Wonderful!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.2 · 6 reviews · 3 hours · from $27

Solve a Renaissance murder while exploring Florence’s famous squares, monuments, and lesser-known corners on this self-guided three-hour game.

“Ho acquistato insieme ad un'amica quattro coupon di Tour con Delitto, come regalo per i nostri ragazzi. Purtroppo si è un pò rivelato una "truffa" poichè non è un tour seguendo indizi ma una gita tra piazze, strade e monumenti nel centro di Firenze. Gli indizi non sono fatti dall'agenzia (anzi non ci sono) ma viene consegnato un libretto da seguire e poi ci sono domande a cui bisogna rispondere ammirando i vari luoghi; ad esempio "quante statue femminili sono presenti nella Loggia dei Lanzi". Per quello che viene offerto dovrebbe costare massimo 5 euro a persona. Dispiace perchè ci aspettavamo, da come è venduto il pacchetto, di seguire indizi…”
