About this tour
A three-hour-fifteen-minute walking tour through Florence's Renaissance heart, starting in the Medici quarter and moving through the city's architectural landmarks—the Duomo, Piazza Signoria, Ponte Vecchio—before spending the afternoon in the Uffizi Gallery. Your guide navigates you past the key works: Botticelli's Primavera and Birth of Venus among others. An optional three-course lunch at a traditional trattoria in the old town is available. Groups stay small, capped at nine per guide.

What to expect
You'll walk briskly through central Florence with a local guide, stopping to examine exteriors and interiors of churches, palaces, and piazzas—roughly two hours on foot before lunch (if selected). The walking demands moderate fitness; pace is steady rather than leisurely. After eating, head to the Uffizi in early afternoon. The gallery visit is guided, though you'll have time to linger on the Uffizi Terrace overlooking the city. Earphones are provided for groups of seven or more, so you'll hear your guide clearly even in busy galleries.
Good to know
Bring an original ID or passport—it's mandatory for Uffizi entry and must match your booking name. Dress respectfully for churches. Arrive punctually; late arrivals forfeit entry and refunds. If selecting lunch, soft drinks cost extra. Children under five pay separately for meals. Public transport is available nearby.
