Frustrating beginning, but became very interesting.
This is our third experience with this company that began with some frustration and confusion. We were early as was asked, but no one was there, no sign, nothing. When our guide arrived he quickly gave us our headphones and we were off on time. It was very interesting hearing some of the details of Florence’s past, and the places we explored. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of booking into the Cathedral in Siena first thing the next day, so we had to leave halfway through. Would I recommend it? Yes.

Great Experience!
The tour was interesting and informative and Stefano was an excellent guide telling us so many dark stories. He even helped us secure a taxi for the following morning after we asked him for help. I was concerned because the tour company had rescheduled us from earlier in the week, but it was completely worth the wait.

Very informative and fun...
Very informative and fun way to see parts of Florence at night when it is less crowded. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. having radio headsets was very helpful to hear him during the entire walk. Make sure to get some gelato at the end.!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence Evening Walking Tour: Stories of Power, Love & Betrayal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Evening Walking Tour: Stories of Power, Love & Betrayal cost?
+
Prices start at $13 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 Evening Walking Tour: Stories of Power, Love & Betrayal 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 Evening Walking Tour: Stories of Power, Love & Betrayal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 150 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 Florence Evening Walking Tour: Stories of Power, Love & Betrayal?
+
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 Evening Walking Tour: Stories of Power, Love & Betrayal 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 Evening Walking Tour: Stories of Power, Love & Betrayal?
+
Around 53 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 Evening Walking Tour: Stories of Power, Love & Betrayal 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.
