Explore the heart of Florence on a full-day private walking tour that showcases the city’s Renaissance legacy, iconic landmarks, and vibrant local culture. Often called the Cradle of the Renaissance, Florence unfolds as an open-air museum filled with grand basilicas, elegant piazzas, historic markets, and timeless architecture. With an expert guide, guests stroll through highlights such as the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo Market, the Medici Church, Piazza del Duomo with Brunelleschi’s famous dome, Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery exterior, and the Ponte Vecchio, while learning about influential figures like Dante, Michelangelo, and the powerful Medici family.

The experience also ventures beyond the main sights, passing Dante’s House, Santa Croce, and the bustling Mercato del Porcellino, before crossing into the Oltrarno district, known for its artisan workshops, lively bars, and local atmosphere. A relaxed lunch break at a local restaurant is included in the day’s pacing (meal not included). Guests enjoy in-depth storytelling, scenic views along the Arno River, and a deeper understanding of Florence’s past and present. Please note that entry into the Duomo interior is subject to wait times; if lines are long, the guide will provide advice on the best time to return independently.
