What to expect

Expect a pace that lets you absorb rather than rush. Your guide steers you through tight medieval lanes and piazzas, stopping to explain why buildings sit at odd angles, which families shaped neighbourhoods, what tragedies unfolded on seemingly ordinary corners. You'll learn how Florence's layout wasn't random—each street, alley and plaza answers to historical logic. Two hours is enough to hit genuine depth without exhaustion. Bring comfortable shoes; the terrain is uneven and narrow.
