The Best of Florence Private Walking Tour

Discover the highlights of Florence and follow an expert and entertaining guide to the most significant places through the historical center and learn about the amazing history of the city from the time it was the capital of the Renaissance to the time it became the capital of early unified Italy.
First, you will see the religious center of the city: admire the Duomo, whose impressive Dome was designed by Brunelleschi, and the Baptistery of Saint John, one of the oldest buildings in Florence.
From the religious center, you will walk to the political center, and enjoy a pleasant stroll through Piazza Della Signoria, surrounded by its ancient buildings and the Loggia Dei Lanzi. In this open-air museum, you will see original masterpieces by Giambologna and Cellini. From there, you'll cross the famous Ponte Vecchio, the medieval bridge on the Arno River. Your tour finishes with delicious gelato before your guide leaves you with recommendations for how to spend the remainder of your day.
We recommend booking an evening tour, where you can see the soft, golden sunset of the Tuscan hills and the changing colors of the sky which add an otherworldly beauty to the city.
Please note that the Duomo of Florence does not offer skip-the-line tickets and a long line often forms at the entrance. If the line is too long you will not visit the interior of the Cathedral on tour, and your guide will give you tips on the best time to return to avoid standing in line.
