★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12,316 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $3Our pick

Walk Florence from San Lorenzo to Ponte Vecchio with a lively storyteller, Medici tales, Renaissance landmarks, and practical city tips.

“Ricardo was a highly informative, nice and helpful guide who really helped me get a sense of where I waa walking - north, south...- and why key places mattered in the Renaissance. I appreciated his approach and carefully customized presentations. If you go, please bring cash - at least 10 Euros per person. The tour is listed as "free" but it is more "pay as you are able." This involves trust so really do what you can. I hope most in my group did so though I thought I might have seen a slip away. So wrong! Go and enjoy this awesome experience. Thank you, Ricci!”

She conveyed so much information in her tales of Florence and its history, we could have listened to her for hours! the tour was over all too quickly. Can't recommend Chiara and this tour enough - if you only do one thing in Florence, take this tour, you learn a lot about the history of Florence in a most enjoyable way. Be aware that the tour is free but significant tips (amount of your choice) are required but well worth it.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 223 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $82

Review of Florence’s Pitti Palace and Palatine Gallery tour, with Medici history, Raphael, Caravaggio, timed entry, and practical booking advice.

“Our guide was exceptional!!! The tour was indeed a small group that was only 6 including the guide. I do not think we have ever had such a knowledgeable guide on any tour! And she had a wonderful way of imparting her knowledge. I believe the Pitti gets overlooked because the Uffizi is better known. The ability to see Botticelli’s, Raffaello’s, Caravaggio’s, Tintoretto’s and others up close and personal without being packed in was exceptional! I highly recommend this tour.”
