Florence: Taste of Italy in Every Step (Private or Small Group)

About this tour

Walk through Florence with a local guide who shapes the route around your interests, mixing famous landmarks like the Duomo with lesser-known artisan corners across the Oltrarno. Over four hours, you'll taste where locals actually eat—proper gelato, Chianti in a traditional wine bar—rather than tourist traps. Your itinerary is sorted before you arrive; tickets pre-booked, a guide arranged, snacks and wine included. Built for anyone curious about how the city actually works, whether it's your first visit or fifth.

• Oltrarno artisan workshops tucked away from main streets
• Gelato and Chianti at genuinely local spots

What to expect

You'll meet your guide in central Florence and move through the city on foot, stopping at significant Renaissance buildings and hidden corners. Expect comfortable walking at a steady pace—steep hills and cobblestones are part of the terrain. Mid-tour, you'll sit down for a proper break with local wine and snacks, a moment to absorb rather than rush. Your guide adjusts timing based on your interest; if you linger at a workshop, they accommodate it. By the end you'll have eaten where Florentines do and seen sides of the city most visitors miss.
