Florence · TOUR REVIEWS
Three days or ten, the problem is the same: two galleries, one cathedral, a whole region behind them and not enough mornings. The 15 below are the days that earn their place, priced and timed, with the full catalogue underneath when you want to go deeper.
Visit Florence’s Uffizi Gallery with timed entry, Botticelli, Michelangelo, and an English audio guide, at your own pace.
“Great gallery if you are into Renaissance art. Not quite skip the queue but much shorter waiting time than buying on the day.”
Review of a full-day Tuscany tour from Florence, visiting Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, and a Chianti winery lunch.
“We had so much fun! Alex and Sergio were amazing. The fun facts throughout the tour from Alex were informative. I fell in love with Italy even more than I already have. Definitely recommend this tour.”
Save time at Florence’s Accademia Gallery with a timed ticket, digital audio guide, and a close look at Michelangelo’s David.

See Michelangelo’s David in Florence with skip-the-line entry, optional audio guide, and time to explore the Accademia Gallery at your own pace.

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!”
Handle Leonardo da Vinci’s working machines in Florence, from tanks to catapults, with hands-on displays, workshops, and a smartphone audio guide.
“We went with our teenage boys and they spent over an hour trying out all of the inventions. We weren’t sure that they would like it because they are not a fan of museums. However we were the ones waiting on them. A BIG win! And it was amazing to see what DaVinci accomplished through being curious throughout his lifetime.”
Explore Florence’s Medici past, Duomo, Dante, and Piazza della Signoria on a lively two-hour donation-based walking tour.

See Pisa, Siena, and San Gimignano in one long Tuscan day, with a Chianti winery lunch, wine tasting, and optional English tours.
“This trip is a great value. So much so that I was concerned it couldn’t possible meet the expectation. However, the day was fantastic. Our guide Val was so informative and funny and helpful! The bus was so clean and so comfortable. You can leave your belongings on the bus, so bringing an umbrella or extra layers just in case weather changes was perfectly fine. We did not know ahead of time, but there is no eating or drinking on the bus and we did have plans for that, however, not a big deal. Each spot was so fun and so informative, and overall the day covered so much ground.…”

Taste six Chianti wines at two Tuscan estates, with olive oil, local foods, scenic hills, and a friendly small-group ride from Florence.
“Beautiful day out! Both wineries were stunning and we learnt heaps. Got given 4 glasses at each winery. Better to book the tour in second half of the day as you see sunset over the wineries which is incredible!”
Make pizza or pasta, gelato, and focaccia at a Tuscan farm with wine, chef instruction, Florence views, and round-trip transport.
“We had such a fantastic time at this cooking class! The chefs were knowledgeable, engaging, friendly, and made the whole experience very fun! The setting at a farm up above Florence was absolutely beautiful, we learned practical techniques and were given recipes we can use at home. We brought our teenage kids, and thought it was going to be long at six hours, but the time flew by! The food was delicious and the bottomless wine was wonderful. This was one of our favorite experiences on our trip to Italy, highly recommend!”
