What to expect
Your guide will navigate you through Florence's oldest quarters, stopping at significant civic and religious sites to explain their historical context and design. You'll move at a walking pace through narrow streets, bustling market zones, and open piazzas—expect crowds, especially near major monuments. The itinerary remains flexible; your guide may reorder stops or adjust timing based on visitor flow and local circumstances. You'll gain insight into how Florence became a centre for art and commerce, but most interior attractions require separate tickets.
