What to expect
Your guide meets you and heads into Florence on foot, stopping at landmarks and tucking you into corners where locals actually linger. Conversation flows naturally—ask about anything. After 30–60 minutes outside, you enter the Accademia without a queue. Inside, your guide contextualises the sculptures and paintings; you're free to linger or move on. The whole thing stays intimate: it's just your group and one expert. Pace is entirely yours. By the end, you'll have walked enough to know the city's layout and seen its crown jewel without the usual bottleneck crush.
