What to expect
Expect a steady pace across Florence's historic centre, moving between major piazzas with natural stopping points for photos and breath-catching. Your guide will point out architectural details—flying buttresses, dome engineering, sculptural tricks—and share the political feuds and family drama that shaped the city's buildings. You'll weave through narrow streets and busier squares; it's real walking, not a leisurely stroll. Two hours covers a lot of ground, so comfortable shoes matter.
Good to know
Fully wheelchair accessible with flat surfaces throughout. Prams and strollers are fine. Public transport nearby if you need a break. Tipping is customary if the stories stick with you.
