    Family fun in Florence

    We enjoyed our walking tour and the kids loved the scavenger hunt part! We are always looking for more off the beaten path ways of seeing new places and we learned so many little things about the area that we would have never noticed! Wonderful way to spend a few hours in Florence!

    Fun, engaging and perfect!

    Our tour was fantastic - our boys were engaged the whole time and the treasure hunt activities were great. I highly recommend to learn interesting stories and see the city. Thank you!

    Perfect Tour!!

    I can’t rave enough about this tour! Giulia was absolutely amazing!! She was wonderful with our 4-year-old and they because fast besties!! She was so knowledgeable about Florence and adapted the tour as needed. It was the highlight of our time in this beautiful city!!

    Not worth the price!

    The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and knew how to engage the children aged 8 and 6 with competitive search and find games and questions that tested their listening skills. We learned about the Medici family, various symbols of Florence and listened to myths related to marble statues. The children enjoyed the element of competition between teams however the price value of this tour is dissatisfying. The 2 hour tour for 4 adults and 2 kids was not worth 800 dollars.

    Charming family-friendly private tour

    This tour was a wonderful way to see Florence. Our tour guide, Emilia, was wonderful with our six-year-old, who was feeling shy at first. The guide knew exactly what to do - let her warm up, gave her a photo scavenger hunt sheet, and by the end of the tour our daughter was hugging Emilia like she was her best friend. Emilia was great with questions and pointed out many statues and a few excellent shops we would not have otherwise noticed. She took pictures for us and even had some little souvenirs for Vivian which was a nice surprise. We had a little bit of a mix-up on the meeting spot because it was different from what was on the website, but the company was in contact with us on WhatsApp and we got it sorted out. Excellent private family tour!

    Best of Florence Tour for Kids & Families: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Best of Florence Tour for Kids & Families cost?

    +

    Prices start at $246 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 for Kids & Families 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 for Kids & Families worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 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 Best of Florence Tour for Kids & Families?

    +

    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 for Kids & Families 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 for Kids & Families?

    +

    Around 6 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 for Kids & Families 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 for Kids & Families?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Professional art historian guide; and Professional kid-friendly guide. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Best of Florence Tour for Kids & Families?

    +

    behind the Fountain of Neptune in Piazza Signoria. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Best of Florence Tour for Kids & Families offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Is Best of Florence Tour for Kids & Families wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
