    Best walking tour of Florence ever!

    This tour was amazing. We learned so much about Florence. Our guide was simply fantastic. Having been to Florence before we thought we had seen it all but learned so much, laughed and generally had an amazing day.

    Breathtaking views and the most charming guide!💜

    Me and my boyfriend went with Susanna on this beautiful tour on the most perfect day. We where spoken to so lovely and clearly by Susanna even tho English is not her first language and everything was explained perfectly,we learned so much about Florence. it was so exiting and every time we thought there wasn’t any more to see Susanna took us to an even more breathtaking part of Florence, I never wanted it to end it felt like a fairy tale. My boyfriend is not big on tours but he actually enjoyed and listened to this one all the way through which really just speaks for itself. Thank you for this beautiful experience Susanna and the team of Florence tours by Made of Tuscany! I will be telling my family and friends to book with you if they ever come by Florence 😍

    Tour was good but needs to be one language

    Our tour consisted of 6 people, 3 which spoke english and 3 italian. It was our first day there and we were a bit tired but it was a bit frustrating to have her do one language and then repeat in another language. made it longer than it had to be don't recall this saying multiple language tour. Was not worth it for us

    This tour guide was good but the...

    <p>This tour guide was good but the fact that she had to repeat the entire tour in italian each sentence made it frustrating. You can probably view these items on your own or get a tour that is one language only. sorry but wouldn't recommend.</p>

    Florence: Top Private Classic Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Florence: Top Private Classic Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $228 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: Top Private Classic Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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: Top Private Classic Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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: Top Private Classic 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: Top Private Classic Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Florence: Top Private Classic Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Florence: Top Private Classic 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: Top Private Classic Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional guide; and Headsets to hear the guide better while walking at distance. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Florence: Top Private Classic Walking Tour?

    +

    In front of the main and central door of the Cathedral Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Florence: Top Private Classic Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, English, Italian, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Is Florence: Top Private Classic Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
