    Amazing Night Tour

    Leonardo was amazing! He took us on a night tour of Florence- provided interesting historical information that entertained our entire family (myself, my husband and our 12 year old daughter). He was extremely kind energetic and funny. He took great photos and provided recommendations for restaurants that we absolutely loved. Would highly recommend!

    Deliciousness

    Giulia showed us the best pizza and gelato place. We went back for more during our trip. It was an easy stroll around looking at amazing places. The kids and adults had a great time.

    Highly recommended

    I'm so glad I booked this tour my first night in Florence. Stefania was a warm, engaging, extremely knowledgeable guide. The tour covered the city's interesting history, cultural highlights and also gave me a good idea of the layout of the city. It also helped clarify different places I want to make sure to visit while I'm here. Very glad I took the tour at night as the city looks especially beautiful illuminated at night and there are fewer tourists out at that time. Stefania answered any/all questions I had and kindly gave recommendations for restaurants and points of interest as well. I highly recommend this tour, especially on your first night in the city.

    Best of Florence Tour by Night: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Best of Florence Tour by Night 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 Tour by Night 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 Tour by Night worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 10 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 Tour by Night?

    +

    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 Tour by Night 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 Tour by Night?

    +

    Around 4 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 Tour by Night 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 -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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.

    What is included in Best of Florence Tour by Night?

    +

    Included: Blue Badge guide; Local guide; and Professional art historian guide. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Best of Florence Tour by Night?

    +

    What languages is Best of Florence Tour by Night offered in?

    +
