What to expect
Expect a conversational walk, not a lecture. Your guide will pause at key landmarks to unpack the architecture and the people behind it—the Medici, the artists, the city's own evolution. You'll cover the major sights but without the breathlessness of a tick-box tour. There's room to ask questions, linger if something grabs you, and actually photograph things rather than just spot them from a distance. The pace suits all fitness levels, and the historic centre is flat and walkable.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and prams are fine for small children. Bring water; there's no food or drinks included. Public transport stops are nearby if you need to bail early or get back quickly.
