About this tour
Escape Rome for a day in Florence with a dedicated driver handling the 3-hour each-way journey. You'll get 3 hours with a private guide exploring the city's essential sights—the cathedral, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, and Renaissance squares—before returning to your hotel. The pace suits moderate walkers; you control the itinerary within reason. Groups up to eight work well, and the driver meets you at your accommodation.
Highlights
- Florence's duomo and Baptistry up close with local guide
- Uffizi Gallery masterworks or exterior viewing, your choice
- Ponte Vecchio and Arno riverside at leisure
- Renaissance piazzas without the rushed group-tour feel
- Door-to-door transport from Rome accommodation
- English-speaking driver familiar with both cities
What to expect
Your driver collects you early morning and drives 2.5–3 hours northeast into Tuscany. In Florence, a guide joins for a focused 3-hour walk through the centro storico, hitting major landmarks and explaining their history. You're not shuffled through crowds; the pace allows questions and photo stops. Afterwards, you have free time to eat, shop, or revisit favourite spots before the return drive. Expect to sit comfortably in a private vehicle—no minibus squeeze—and have the guide's attention mostly to yourself and your small group.
Good to know
