    A very nice 1.5h walking...

    A very nice 1.5h walking tour full of little tips to help us explore the city further. Well done, Guido!

    An Absolute Gem!

    Our guide Raffaello was incredibly knowledgeable. The ability to convey so much knowledge in a non native language really was impressive as well. We were absolutely blessed with this one! Just a note that the address the tour email sends you to, is about 5-6 buildings off. You want to head towards the duomo maybe 6 buildings and it is a business that deals in all sorts of tours!

    Special tour of this beautiful city!

    Our guide, Julia, was very engaging, fun, knowledgeable and clearly wanted the best experience for us! Making the experience more personal by walking us through side streets ( not on tour ) giving history of the location as she led us to our planned reservation for dinner. A special experience - we were so fortunate to have Julia as our guide! You will local flavor of this beautiful city with exceptional tour guide. Highly highly recommend this special tour experience!

    Loved the informative walking tour through Florence!

    My 18 YO daughter and I attended this walking tour around Florence. Our guide, William, was knowledgeable, friendly and full of anecdotes. He took care to not lose anyone (there were eight of us on the tour) and his pacing worked well. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it!

    Art and History in Florence: Small Group Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Art and History in Florence: Small Group Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Art and History in Florence: Small Group Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.

    Is Art and History in Florence: Small Group Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Art and History in Florence: Small Group Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Art and History in Florence: Small Group Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Art and History in Florence: Small Group Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 1.6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Art and History in Florence: Small Group Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Florence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Florence?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Florence?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
