Additional Information

Florence, a globally renowned open-air gallery, boasts a remarkable history that hails from 59 B.C. when the Romans orchestrated the establishment of a camp for their veteran soldiers, which evolved into a flourishing city.

The city witnessed its greatest period of prosperity in the 13th century, spurred on by its thriving trade areas, particularly in the sectors of wool and banking.

The accumulation of wealth often came with power within Florence; hence, influential families namely the Strozzis, Pazzis, and Medicis vied with each other for dominance. Surprisingly, they leveraged art as a tool in their rivalries, serving as the public communication medium of that era.

Embark on this enlightening walking tour across the city, perfect for unveiling the hidden tales and enigmas of Florence. Our proficient English-speaking guide will accompany you along the age-old streets and plazas, elucidating on what makes Florence genuinely remarkable. From the adventures of Dante to the ascension and downfall of the Medici dynasty, this exceptional walking tour promises an immersive journey through Florence’s illustrious past.

Florence in 90 minutes! - Nice “quick” tour where Raquel shared a lot of great history about Duomo construction and minor architectural changes over 600 year period, and the significance of Florence during medieval transition to the renaissance. Just a snapshot really but very interesting.

Good overall. - Well, ultimately our guide did the tour in French, but simply, few details. This allowed us to see the city of Florence and get our bearings.

Needs better guide selection - Our guide seemed knowledgeable but her accent was so strong that we did not understand more than 1/2 of what she said

Knowledgeable tour guide didn’t really see a lot - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was helpful to have someone highlight the more interesting sites . However , we really didn’t stop and go inside any attractions we merely passed by them . I was hoping we would at least spend a few minutes inside the attractions that were free and didn’t require ticket

Hi it was unfortunate ... - Hi it was unfortunate but our leader was walking too fast, talking too fast, leaving some people behind and not bringing us in to talk.

Underwhelming - Our tour started late and ended early. We were only able to understand about half of the guide’s English. We paid almost three times the advertised rate, which likely increased our expectations for the experience.
