Absolutely Incredible
If you do one thing in Florence, TAKE THIS TOUR! Dina was absolutely phenomenal and we wish we could have taken her on the remainder of our trip. She was friendly, kind, extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about Florence and it’s history. I literally cannot say enough good things about her. Her tour was the highlight of our time in Florence.

A wonderful city tour of Florence, with wonderful Dina of WITH LOCALS🙏
We had a relaxed, informative city walk & visit to the Academia gallery with Dina. Kind, warm & very ethuisiastic aboud her beloved city. She inspired us to see it through het eyes, told us the little secrets & stopped at a lovely place for coffee and left us satisfied in a cosy corner with authentic antipasti & a lovely glass of wine! She gave more of her time then expected by making a booking for us at the perfect eatery the day that we arrived and also made further suggestions for our last day in Florence. Everything to perfection! We can highly reccommend Dina! We took this tour with Dina in February 2020 but I still use here recipe for Francesina, rekindling happy memories every time!💖

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $123 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 Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence?
+
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 Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence?
+
Around 1 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence 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.
What is included in Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence?
+
Included: Local Tips and Tricks; City Orientation; Private Tour; and Local Guide. Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence?
+
Beside the column of Abundance. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Private City Kickstart Tour: Florence if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Florence. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
