It is then on to what was the political centre of Renaissance Florence, Piazza della Signoria. The offices of the Grand Duke’s of Florence were once housed in the building that is now the Uffizi and the seat of the Florentine government was on the opposite side of the square in the Palazzo Vecchio.

Then follows a stroll through the oldest part of the city to see the tower houses that date from the 1300s. Finally you reach Piazza Duomo where you can gaze upon Florence’s magnificent Cathedral with its striking green and white marble. Crowned by Brunelleschi’s dome, a masterpiece of architectural achievement both for design and realization the cathedral and its dome are enduring symbols of Renaissance Florence.

Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral
Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral A very impressive and fascinating structure at the same time. Decorated from the inside with a lot of pomp. Combined ticket purchased for the tower and the cathedral. Doesn't have to be online before, we were there in early June and it was super relaxed. Almost no tourists, no crowds and no queues.

Excellent Guide
Daniel made this tour FANTASTIC. There were 7 of us in our group so we had our tour guide all to ourselves. He fashioned the tour to our requests and was an absolutely fabulous guide. We saw everything on the list but at our own pace. He even provided information that we asked about specifically without being reminded we wanted to hear more about those items. He is quiet in nature but perfect for what we wanted and expected. Would recommend this tour and this guide to others.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Florence Tour of Must-See Sites from Duomo to Santa Croce & Old Bridge: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Private Florence Tour of Must-See Sites from Duomo to Santa Croce & Old Bridge cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Florence Tour of Must-See Sites from Duomo to Santa Croce & Old Bridge 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 Florence Tour of Must-See Sites from Duomo to Santa Croce & Old Bridge worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private Florence Tour of Must-See Sites from Duomo to Santa Croce & Old Bridge?
+
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 Florence Tour of Must-See Sites from Duomo to Santa Croce & Old Bridge 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 Florence Tour of Must-See Sites from Duomo to Santa Croce & Old Bridge?
+
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 Florence Tour of Must-See Sites from Duomo to Santa Croce & Old Bridge 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.
