Tour description

Hello everyone, welcome to Florence! With this tour, we offer you the opportunity to get to know Florence through the eyes of local guides. We will explore the most classic and beautiful parts of the city center with the perspective of someone who lives here.
The tour starts at San Lorenzo Square, in front of the statue of Giovanni delle Bande Nere, in the neighborhood of the powerful Medici family. It will be a tour that mixes the typical with the hidden, we will discover the most emblematic and unknown streets. From the San Lorenzo neighborhood, we will explore the historic center, the jewels of the Renaissance, the history of the Medici family, the impressive Cathedral, and Piazza della Signoria, which can be considered a true open-air statue museum. The tour route can change each time, as we try to personalize it as much as possible, depending on the interests and passions of the people.

This is the itinerary, which may have some small differences depending on the tour and the guide's preferences: 



San Lorenzo Church

Medici Riccardi Palace

Florence Cathedral (Duomo)

Medieval Quarter or Piazza della Repubblica

Piazza della Signoria (the open-air museum)

Uffizi

Ponte Vecchio
