Enjoy a local's perspective on one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Discover Florence as you stroll the streets with your informative guide.

This tour must be booked at least 4 days in advance.

The tour starts from the interesting Central market zone, characterized by its workshops and multicoloured stalls where the Medicean Chapels and Basilica di S. Lorenzo, the church of Medici's Family, are located.

In a short time you can reach Piazza del Duomo, where you can admire the Cathedral (inside visit) and its dome by Brunelleschi, the bell tower by Giotto and Saint John Baptistery with its Paradise Door. The tour continues by visiting the medieval quarters where Dante Alighieri and Beatrice lived. Further on you can find Palazzo del Bargello...and more!

Not too far away is Piazza della Signoria, a great "open-air sculpture museum" overlooked by the imposing Palazzo Vecchio. Next to it is the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most important museums in the world.

Then you will proceed to the picturesque Mercato della Paglia (Straw market), where the famous Piggy Fountain is located. You will walk along the street that leads to Ponte Vecchio, the "jewels bridge." By crossing the bridge, you will reach the wonderful Pitti Palace, where the tour ends.
