About this tour

What to expect
You'll be met at Livorno Port and driven directly to Florence—roughly 90 minutes each way. Once in the city, your guide takes over for three hours on foot, moving at an easy pace through the historic core. Expect to see major churches, significant squares, and working neighbourhoods where locals actually shop and eat. The guide contextualises what you're seeing but doesn't rush you between stops. You'll have time to browse small merchants or duck into a wine bar if something catches your eye. By late afternoon you're back at the port. This is a straightforward introduction to Florence's essentials, not a deep dive.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes—the 3-hour stretch covers uneven Renaissance streets. Bring water and sun protection. Entrance fees to monuments aren't included; the guide points them out but you're not entering them. Lunch is on you. Gratuities aren't factored in. Prams, strollers, and infant seats are available.
