What to expect
You'll start by picking which museums, churches, and neighbourhoods appeal most—your guide brings expertise but the route is yours. Expect to move between indoor collections and outdoor walking, with natural pauses for refreshment. The narrative isn't a monologue; it's conversational storytelling that connects what you're seeing to actual people, power struggles, and domestic details from Florence's past. Pacing stays relaxed: there's time to sit, absorb, ask questions, and enjoy a proper meal rather than grab-and-go eating. Wheelchair users and those with prams navigate easily; the guide knows accessible entries and routes.
Good to know
You'll arrange museum tickets independently via official websites (roughly €45 per person). Bring comfortable shoes for walking between spots. The guide doesn't cover entry fees, food, or transport; budget accordingly. Stroller-friendly throughout. Public transport nearby if legs need a rest.
