    Great tour and guide

    Our family of 4 had a great day with Bianca in Florence. We learned so much about the art and history of Florence. We would never had learned so much on our own. It was great to have a guide in the Uffizi to show us the highlights since the museum is so large. The statue of David was beautiful and we appreciated all the information that Bianca had for us. Private Tours was easy to work with and had good communication. We took 3 tours with them and all were great. Thank you Bianca for a fun day in Florence.

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

    How much does Full day tour of Florence highlights, Accademia, Uffizi & David cost?

    +

    Prices start at $480 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 Full day tour of Florence highlights, Accademia, Uffizi & David take?

    +

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

    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.

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?

    +
