About this tour
A two-hour guided walk through Florence's backstreets and lesser-known corners, led by a local who trades in anecdotes and forgotten history. The twist: you'll compete against other travellers in live quizzes about Renaissance monuments and local lore, with the winner earning a meal at an authentic Florentine trattoria. Pay-what-you-think pricing means you decide the guide's tip based on how much you valued the experience.

What to expect
Expect a brisk two-hour ramble through central Florence guided by someone who knows the city's quieter quarters and the tales behind them. Rather than stand-and-listen lectures, you'll answer quiz questions throughout—testing your knowledge (and learning on the spot) alongside fellow tourists. It's part sightseeing, part game show. The competitive element keeps energy high, and if you win, you've earned dinner. If you don't, you've still seen hidden spots most guidebooks skip. The guide sets no fixed fee, so you tip based on your actual experience rather than a preset rate.
Good to know
Comfortable shoes essential for two hours of walking. Quiz questions focus on Renaissance history and the monuments you pass—no pre-study required. The tour accepts all fitness levels. Fully wheelchair accessible. Bring small change if you plan to tip.
