Amazing Florence Art Tour
My family and I had a wonderful tour of Florence with Giuseppe. He picked us up from the cruise terminal and told us about the history of Florence and Italy on the drive over, we then toured Uffizi and Accademia. The commentary was insightful and really brought the art and history of Florence to life. Before the tour Paola helped us arrange tickets and booked us a meal at a local Osteria, which was my kids favorite meal in Italy! Even though the weather was hot and the day was long, we had an amazing time! Would absolutely recommend it!!!!
Response from the operator: Grazie for your feedback, with the heat of these days wasn't easy, but you did it :)

Top kids tour in Florence
We spent 4 hours kids friendly private walking guided tour with a professional guide and we learned more than we expected, details we would have never seen them by ourselves. Our chilrend loved it and we really recommend Paola ps she recommended the best home made fresh gelato in town too

A true highlight of an experience
Our tour with Paola was one of the highlights of our time in Florence. What we appreciated most was that the experience felt personal and tailored rather than rushed. We learned a great deal about the history, art, and culture of Florence, and Paola was knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer questions throughout the tour. One aspect we particularly enjoyed was being introduced to local artisans and historic Florentine traditions. Rather than feeling like a shopping excursion, these stops gave us insight into crafts and businesses that are part of Florence's cultural heritage. At no point did we feel pressured to make a purchase, and we were free to browse, ask questions, or simply enjoy learning about the craftsmanship. The museum visits were excellent, and having a private guide allowed us to go beyond the information you would get from a standard group tour. We appreciated the flexibility to focus on topics that interested us and to move at a comfortable pace. Everyone's experience is different, but ours was overwhelmingly positive. If you're looking for a private tour that combines Florence's art, history, and local culture with personal attention, we would happily recommend Paola.

Highly recommend! Good vibes and easy going.
Had a really nice time with Paola in Florence. We were just a group of friends wanting to see some museums, do something fun, eat good food, and she helped make it all easy. She knows a lot about Florence but doesn't make it feel like you're sitting in a history class. We also did a cooking class which was great fun. Not saying we became Italian chefs 😂 but we learned a few things, drank some wine, had some laughs and ate way too much. Paola was friendly, patient, and just very easy to spend time with. She gave us some good recomendations for places to eat and things to do after the tour as well. Overall it was one of the best parts of our trip. If you're going to Florence and want someone who actually makes the city come alive without taking things too seriously, I'd definetly recommend Paola. Thanks again Paola, we had a lovely time! 🇮🇹😊

Paola was amazing!
was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly throughout the entire tour. Paola made the history and culture of Florence come alive with stories and hidden details we never would have discovered on our own. She was also very patient, organized, and made everyone feel welcome. You can tell she loves what she does, and her passion for the city is contagious. Thanks to Paola

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence walking guided tour with Uffizi & Accademia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence walking guided tour with Uffizi & Accademia cost?
+
Prices start at $682 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 walking guided tour with Uffizi & Accademia take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 walking guided tour with Uffizi & Accademia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 17 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 walking guided tour with Uffizi & Accademia?
+
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 walking guided tour with Uffizi & Accademia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence walking guided tour with Uffizi & Accademia?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence walking guided tour with Uffizi & Accademia 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.
