Extraordinary tour adventure!
Leonardo was the consummate tour guide in Florence. Clearly an art history expert, he brought works to life in a way that eclipsed our own university coursework. He was friendly, relatable, and imbued our experience with interesting political and cultural facts. He was sensitive to our time constraints and went above and beyond to give us the opportunity to see everything we desired. We can't imagine a better private tour experience...or a better guide.

Walking tour of Florence
Our tour ended up just being the two of us plus the guide - Glenda. It was very informative and flexible - she didn’t make us go to a strict route if we weren’t particularly interested or had seen it before. So it was really a personal tour of places we wanted to see. Glenda was friendly, knowledgeable and good company and we thoroughly enjoyed our private tour. I would book this company again without question.

Excellent way to explore fascinating architecture
We took the 7 PM walking tour and met Daniel at the Piazza Di Santa Croce. He was energetic, passionate about Florentine history, receptive and eager to answer our queries. We strolled through major landmarks and discovered ample insights on the rich Florentine art and architecture; the walking tour is a great way to explore the same. Thanks Daniel!

Great!
We really enjoyed our 2 hour walking tour, thanks to Glenda our tour guide. We were fortunate to have a private tour of just the two of us and we found the tour very friendly and informative. We covered all the sights and learned lots about Florence and it’s history. It was a great way to see a lot in a short time as we only had one day in the beautiful city. Thanks Glenda!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best of Florence Top-rated Attractions with Private Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Best of Florence Top-rated Attractions with Private Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Best of Florence Top-rated Attractions with Private Guide take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Best of Florence Top-rated Attractions with Private Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Florence Top-rated Attractions with Private Guide?
+
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 Best of Florence Top-rated Attractions with Private Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best of Florence Top-rated Attractions with Private Guide?
+
Around 2 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of Florence Top-rated Attractions with Private Guide 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.
