Liv tour was great
Thomas was great. Super knowledgeable. Over all highly recommend. We ended up skipping the duomo since we already did that earlier in the day. Barbara was great

Great tour - so much to see and hear about!
We had an amazing private tour with Monica. Florence has so much to see and take in, and Monica was very knowledgeable about the sites and the history and brought it all to life. The pace of the tour was perfect, and being a private tour Monica gave us the opportunity to pause at the places we found more interesting / wanted more photos of. This was a great way to see a number of the sites and get orientated with Florence for places to come back to later in our stay.

This was a great tour and...
This was a great tour and Barbara was a great guide! She is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.
Response from the operator: We’re so glad you had such a great time exploring Florence, Angela! It’s wonderful to hear that Barbara’s knowledge and willingness to answer all your questions made the walking tour such an enjoyable experience. Having a guide who can bring the city’s history to life while sharing thoughtful insights makes all the difference. We’ll be happy to pass your lovely feedback along to Barbara!

Excellent tour with a wealth of information! Amazing tour guide!
Guilia was absolutely incredible! She had a wealth of knowledge about the history of Florence, the artists, the progression of Florentine culture, and was able to answer all of our questions. She was kind, patient, and thorough. We enjoyed this tour and felt it was well worth the money. I am a tour guide and will continue to book through Liv Tours. Their company was incredible to work with! The only thing I wish was included is a skip-the-line tour of the interior of The Duomo. We were only able to walk in the front of the Duomo and hear about the history. But, we did not see the inside.

Excellent walking tour
Our tour with Caterina was terrific! A great walk to the top sights— we learned so much about this beautiful city, including Michelangelo and David. As Caterina is from Florence and has been a guide for 12years, she is a font of knowledge and enthusiasm. Much appreciated!

Florence Walking Tour with David & Duomo: Small Group or Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Walking Tour with David & Duomo: Small Group or Private cost?
+
Prices start at $182 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 David & Duomo: Small Group or Private take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Walking Tour with David & Duomo: Small Group or Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 61 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 Tour with David & Duomo: Small Group or Private?
+
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 Tour with David & Duomo: Small Group or Private suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence Walking Tour with David & Duomo: Small Group or Private?
+
Around 21 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence Walking Tour with David & Duomo: Small Group or Private 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.
