There are so many fascinating places to see in Florence, the city where the Renaissance was born, and on this tour with a local child-friendly guide we have made sure you and your children will have the best possible experience discovering all the wonders that Florence has to offer in a fun and entertaining way! The meeting point will be in Piazza Santa Croce near Santa Croce church, where Michelangelo's tomb is situated.

30 minutes here
Piazza della Signoria
After that you will arrive at the political centre of Florence, Piazza della Signoria, with the amazing Loggia where you can admire the famous statues in marble and bronze made by Florentine artists from the 16th century. From here you can also see the Uffizi Gallery, one of the world's top rated galleries that used to be the seat of the Florentine Guilds, and the majesty of Palazzo Vecchio, Florence's town hall.

Piazza Del Duomo
Next stop will be the amazing Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, or as the locals know it, The Duomo (cathedral), the first of its kind in terms of dimension and structure, and a symbol of the Renaissance in Florence. The dome was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and it is a major architectural masterpiece which was way ahead of its time. Led by our guide, you will learn some of the history and interesting facts about the cathedral.

Galleria dell'Accademia
Finally, your skip-the-line access tickets will allow you avoid entry lines to the Accademia Gallery, maximizing your visit to Michelangelo’s magnificent statue of David. Please note this outdoor sightseeing tour requires lots of energy for walking. And since kids, and adults too, can get very tired from being on their feet all day, we suggest this tour happen at the beginning of your holiday in Florence. Also, we suggest making it your only tour of the day. During the tour there will be a free gelato tasting!

Great with kids
Great way to see the sights with young children. The guide kept our 5 and 8 year old entertained for 3 hours around the sights of Florence and the Accademia. We did 3 similar tours in our time in Italy and the kids said this guide was their favourite...the gelato stop definitely helped!

Great tour with Martina!
Martina was great and kept our two boys engaged the whole time. She was very knowledgeable and we learned not only about the big things (well known history) and landmarks but the less known (finer details) as well, and we discovered things we never would have even noticed if wandering alone. She also knows where the best gelato is. :)

Best kid friendly tour
The best tour of our trip! Martina was super friendly, engaging, and really knew how to keep our kids attention. We absolutely loved her and the history she explained to us so well.

Daughters wanted to do again the next day
My daughters asked if we could do the tour again the next day!! They were so engaged and our guide was amazing!! We learned a lot and explored everywhere.

A fun tour for our family.
My 10-year-old daughter was thrilled to go on a tour that seemed designed just for her. Our guide Julia met us at the Piazza del Santa Croce and took us to the must see sites around Florence. Along the way she enticed our daughter with a "treasure" hunt that ended with a prize (at the end of the tour) for the winner. My daughter was very intrigued by the hunt which was fun and educational. All of the adults were also into it. Our guide Giulia was engaging, informed and clearly enjoyed bringing this experience to children. We ended with the best gelato we'd had on the trip. In addition to being fun, we felt this tour was a real bargain compared to some of the others.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kids Friendly Tour of Florence Highlights including the David & Gelato Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Kids Friendly Tour of Florence Highlights including the David & Gelato Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Kids Friendly Tour of Florence Highlights including the David & Gelato Tasting 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 Kids Friendly Tour of Florence Highlights including the David & Gelato Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 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 Kids Friendly Tour of Florence Highlights including the David & Gelato Tasting?
+
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 Kids Friendly Tour of Florence Highlights including the David & Gelato Tasting 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 Kids Friendly Tour of Florence Highlights including the David & Gelato Tasting?
+
Around 3 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 Kids Friendly Tour of Florence Highlights including the David & Gelato Tasting 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.
