Informative walking tour of Florence
Our guided tour started at the Accademia Gallery which houses the statue of David by Michelangelo. There are hundreds of beautiful marble carvings throughout the gallery. There are also many paintings, musical instruments, and artifacts. The guide provided very detailed information about many items throughout the gallery and Medici Museum. Then, we started the outdoor walking tour of the city. The guide took us past several wonderful sites and provided great narration about the city’s history. We saw the exteriors of: San Lorenzo Church – Built in 393 AD, it is the burial place of all the principal members of the Medici family. Duomo complex – In the Duomo Square, we saw the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore which started construction in 1296. It is the most beautiful and intricately decorated church and bell tower we have ever seen. Across from the cathedral is the San Giovanni Baptistery with huge decorated bronze doors. Both structures and the bell tower are built in the renaissance style and are decorated with white, green, and pink marble. Orsanmichele Church – Gothic style architecture started around 1400. The exterior has many statues in niches. Ponte Vecchio – This bridge is documented as the first bridge across this narrow part of the Arno River. It is the oldest bridge in Florence. We walked onto the bridge which is lined with stores and has been since approximately 1340. Today, most of the stores sell jewelry. Piazza Signoria – Here we saw the Fountain of Neptune and the outdoor museum of sculptures which includes the statue of Perseus holding Medusa’s head, Hercules fighting with a centaur, and the Rape of the Sabines. After the walking tour, the guide escorted us to a restaurant where the tour ended, and the guide left. Lunch was included in the price of the tour. We had a very good meal served with bruschetta and dessert. This tour is excellent if you only have a couple of days in Florence. If you have more time, take tours that go inside the churches. We Googled them and were able to see the beautiful interiors, elaborate domes, and many fine sculptures.
Response from the operator: Good morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Customer, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Florence City Tour and appreciated the rich history and stunning architecture the city has to offer. It sounds like you made the most of every moment—from admiring Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia to walking through centuries of history with our guide’s insights, and finally relaxing with a delicious Italian lunch. Your highlights of the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and Piazza della Signoria capture exactly what makes Florence such a unique and unforgettable destination. We’re especially glad you found the tour informative and well-paced. Thank you again for choosing this experience and for recommending it to others. We hope you return to Florence someday to explore even more of its treasure! Best regards

The guided tour in La...
The guided tour in La Academia was great with our guide Alicia, very knowledgeable. The city walking tour is not worthy, very fast, lots of information and we couldn't hear all the explanations because the lack of transmisors. The lunch was not good, and finally the visit to the Uffizi Gallery was very well managed by our guide Ilaria. I would suggest not to take the whole package, rather, individual visits to the galleries.
Response from the operator: Dear David, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're very happy to hear that Alicia and Ilaria met your expectations and that their expertise enhanced your visits to the Accademia and Uffizi Galleries. They truly care about providing an excellent experience for our guests. We're sorry to hear that your lunch experience did not meet your expectations. We’ve been collaborating with this supplier for a long time, and it’s unusual for us to receive such comments. Please know that we’ll review this matter with them to ensure future improvements. Regarding the walking tour, we understand that it’s difficult to see an entire city in a single morning. The tour is designed to highlight key locations and provide a meaningful overview, but we agree that it's always a challenge to cover everything in such a short time. We hope that it still gave you valuable insights into our beautiful city. We appreciate your suggestions and hope to welcome you again in the future. Best regards,

The tour is broken up, you spend most of the day solo trying to find your way around, the guide didn't give good directions
Response from the operator: Dear Abeed, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent experience on the Florence City Tour. We’re sorry to learn that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. We want to emphasize that we clearly outline all meeting points and check-in times on our website and in the vouchers provided to our guests. We encourage everyone to refer to these details for a smoother experience. Regarding our guides, we take great pride in our team. Our collaborators have been with us for a long time and are selected for their professionalism and expertise. Hoping that the above clarification meet your understanding, Best regards,

Confusing and very disappointing
This tour package was poorly organized and confusing. The initial meeting place was the same as many other tour groups met and there was little to identify this specific tour company. The tour itself is comprised of SEPARATE parts each led by a different guide and the customer is responsible for finding the meeting spot for the next phase of the tour. Good luck to those without internet access to obtain the necessary information of where next to proceed. I would not recommend this tour package to anyone. It is not a smooth and seamless experience that I was expecting.
Response from the operator: Good afternoon from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Miguel, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We regret that our Florence City Tour did not meet your expectations. We are sorry to hear about any inconvenience you encountered while reaching the various meeting points, even though they are in close proximity to each other. We would like to clarify that our Viator page does not specify a single guide for the entire day as part of the tour. We also want to clarify that it is clearly written in the voucher how to identify our assistant at the first meeting point for the guided tour of the Accademia Gallery. Unfortunately it is not under our control the presence of other groups in our meeting points, especially for these museums so requested. We hope for the opportunity to welcome you back to Florence in the future, and we will certainly take your comments into account as we continually strive to enhance our services. Warmest regards

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence Walking Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Walking Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $114 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 Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 1,034 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 Walking Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Florence Walking Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence Walking Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch?
+
Around 362 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence Walking Tour with Accademia, Uffizi & Lunch 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.
