About this tour
A guided walking tour through Florence's centre, visiting the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio, and other key landmarks with a local host who points out details and helps with Uffizi Gallery entry. You'll spend five to six hours on foot, with time built in for photography and browsing. The tour skips the lengthy museum commentary—you're here to see Florence's streets, squares, and exteriors at your own pace, soaking in the architecture and atmosphere without being herded through crowds.

What to expect
Expect a steady walk through central Florence with your host, who'll highlight key sights and snap photos as you move between squares. You'll pause at the Duomo to take in Brunelleschi's dome, wander through Piazza della Signoria admiring the sculptures, and cross the crowded Ponte Vecchio at a comfortable pace. Your host will help you buy Uffizi tickets if you want to enter; if not, you'll simply move on. There's free time to browse shops and sit with a coffee. The pace is leisurely, suited to soaking in the city rather than ticking boxes. Wear comfortable shoes; cobblestones are unforgiving.
Good to know
Bring your passport or ID matching your booking name—entry to Uffizi requires it. Food and drinks aren't included; budget for a panini or gelato. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Not suitable for those with mobility issues, poor cardiovascular fitness, or late pregnancy. Infants sit on a parent's lap.
