    Back street insights in Florence

    Our guide, Viola, was delightful. She had an incredible knowledge of art history and the growth and development of Florence over the centuries. She spoke perfect English, was patient, considerate, and had a wonderful sense of humor, always observant, and ready to point out interesting facts. In the back streets we found a small portal for purchasing wine from a merchant who had vineyards in the country, and a carved indentation in one of the street walls that represented the standard for measurement centuries ago - a long arm's length, before meters and yards were in vogue. She helped us find a specific shop where my wife wanted to buy a backpack / cum handbag, and we finished our tour with a new found appreciation of the charm and historical importance of her city. We highly recommend her services. Ciao

    Response from the operator: Dear Warren D, Thank you very much for you feedback! Viola, one of our best guide, will be so proud to know that you have enjoyed her tour! As you already know, she is Florentine, so she really knows her city and all of the secrets and stories of that. We are glad that you have appreciated her explanations and her sense of humor! We hope to see you again in Florence! Have a lovely day, Virginia - Booking Assistant

    A superb way to begin our Florence...

    <p>A superb way to begin our Florence adventure. The pre-visit communication was superb, including a What's App welcome from Eleonora the tour manager of Keys of Florence. Our guide, also named Eleonora, was a delight, she was incredibly knowledgable, giving great insight into architecture, politics, history, fashion and the ways of Florence. She was a great presenter and held our attention throughout - she also insisted on buying us a coffee half way through out trip which lasted two ours and covered may key areas including: Piazza Della Republica, Palazzo Vechio, Ponte Vechio, P.za San Spirito ending the tour at the Duomo<br/> Highly recommended and great value for a 1:1 guide to Florence</p>

    Private Walking Tour Secrets of Florence: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Walking Tour Secrets of Florence cost?

    +

    Prices start at $137 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 Walking Tour Secrets of 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 Walking Tour Secrets of Florence worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Walking Tour Secrets of 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 Walking Tour Secrets of 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 Walking Tour Secrets of Florence?

    +

    Around 2 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 Walking Tour Secrets of 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 Walking Tour Secrets of Florence?

    +

    Included: Private certified guide in your language; Private tour; Personalized service; and Pick up at you hotel/apartment (if it is in the city center). Not included: Drop-off to your hotel/apartment; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
