Need Refund!
We were sent a notice about one hour before the tour that our tour had been cancelled. And a full refund would be coming. I asked for a confirmation that a return was coming and there was Zero response. Very unprofessional.

Walking tour. Headphones...
Walking tour. Headphones made it very easy to hear the guide. Small group was a nice way to learn about the town. However I felt it concentrated very much on the religious features of Florence, which, while of some interest, was certainly not my only interest. If you didn’t have a knowledge of Christianity you would be wasting your time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Guided Walking Tour of Florence. We’re glad to hear that you found the headphones helpful and enjoyed the small group experience, which we believe creates a more personal and engaging atmosphere. We truly appreciate your constructive comments regarding the tour’s focus. While Florence’s religious landmarks are a significant part of its rich history, we understand the importance of offering a more diverse perspective that includes art, culture, and local life. Your insights will help us improve the tour to ensure it appeals to a wider range of interests. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another tour that showcases even more of Florence’s incredible heritage. 🇮🇹✨ Best regards,

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence by Foot : Discover the Heart of the Renaissance: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence by Foot : Discover the Heart of the Renaissance cost?
+
Prices start at $16 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 Florence by Foot : Discover the Heart of the Renaissance take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Florence by Foot : Discover the Heart of the Renaissance worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 52 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 Florence by Foot : Discover the Heart of the Renaissance?
+
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 Florence by Foot : Discover the Heart of the Renaissance suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence by Foot : Discover the Heart of the Renaissance?
+
Around 18 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence by Foot : Discover the Heart of the Renaissance 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.
