What to expect
Expect a walking route that covers roughly 1–2 kilometres on uneven medieval streets. You'll spend time at the market picking through stalls, then pause at a trattoria or wine bar to eat and drink. The guide stops frequently to point out architectural details of the Duomo and surrounding buildings, weaving in stories about Florence's merchant families and their tables. Tastings happen as you walk and sit; bring an appetite and comfortable shoes.
