A great way to explore Florence
We got to see very beautiful and sometimes slightly hidden parts of Florence. The story and guidance was very interesting and capturing. Would recommend!

Disappointed travelers
It was very confusing how to find the location. You’re asked to meet in front of a business, but the business did not even know what you were talking about. I had a lot of complications with getting on WhatsApp so I was unable to complete the self guided to scavenger hunt. I tried messaging and calling, but no answer on either. I am hoping to get a refund for this disappointing experience.

Treasure
The treasure hunt uses WhatsApp. The narrative was amusing and drew you into the whole concept of helping to find the missing elixir. The clues were just challenging enough, we did need to seek help sometimes. The interaction with the different characters added to the experience and the reward at the end both welcome and delicious. The hunt suits small groups best. We would recommend it as a way of seeing lots of interesting places around Florence.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €17 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 Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour 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 Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 106 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 Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour?
+
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 Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour 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 Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour?
+
Around 37 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 Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour 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 Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour?
+
Included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour?
+
You can start whenever you are ready: make your way to the meeting point and once you are there activate your adventure on WhatsApp! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Florence. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
