Designed to pack Florence's heavyweight sights into a single day.

What to expect

You'll depart Rome on the fast train in the morning, arriving in Florence with your guide waiting. The bulk of the day—roughly five and a half hours—involves walking through the city centre, moving between major galleries and landmarks. Expect stairs, cobblestones, and crowded streets even with skip-the-line tickets. Your guide speaks English and steers you through art-heavy rooms and piazzas. There's no scheduled meal time, so eat before or grab something quick. The tour wraps mid-afternoon, leaving you time to browse or rest before the evening train.

Good to know

Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. Train tickets arrive a few days ahead. If you want to stay longer in Florence, notify the operator beforehand. The walking tour crosses uneven ground and includes steps. Families with prams and service animals are welcome. Advise any mobility concerns in advance.
