    Alice was a superb guide but the agency raised the price by €60 on the day before the tour

    The guide, Alice was superb. She did everything at our pace and was excellent at describing the main parts of the city. Wonderful. 11/10. What wasn't so wonderful was the tour company itself. The day before the tour began, they said that they didn't have enough participants and they would have to cancel unless we coughed up a further €60. As we didn't have time to rearrange (we were travelling to Florence that day by air) we had to pay up. If some of the extra had gone to the guide it might have been possibly acceptable, but I asked her if she got paid more for just two customers and she said no. I feel they ripped me off

    Great Overview for the First Day!

    A wonderful experience to give us an overview of the city and history on our first day. It allowed us to create a plan based on references and experience of our guide!

    I originally booked the...

    I originally booked the small group guided tour and the few days before I was informed that there is not enough people for the small group and was asked if we wanted to do a private walking tour for an extra charge. We agreed to do it. I was given the tour guide name and contact phone number and reached out to arrange the meeting point for the tour. Night before the guide informed me that she is not available and we'll have a different guide. The new tour guide was slightly hard to understand and we wrre hoping for a much richer educational experience and more interactive storytelling

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Unfortunately, the original guide was unable to attend due to the unexpected public transport strike. To avoid cancelling your tour at the last minute, we immediately arranged another licensed guide so that you could still enjoy the private experience you had booked. We regret that you found the new guide difficult to understand and that the storytelling was not as engaging and interactive as you had hoped. We take your comments seriously and will use them to improve our guide selection and ensure a richer and more accessible experience for our international guests. Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

    Tamer was a very good and friendly guide: he focused on the main highlights of the city, giving us a good idea of where we could want to spend more time later on. Also very knowledgeable of the history

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your nice review!

    Small Group Florence Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Small Group Florence Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 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 Small Group Florence Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Small Group Florence Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 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 Small Group Florence Walking Tour?

    +

    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 Small Group Florence Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Small Group Florence Walking Tour?

    +

    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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Small Group Florence Walking Tour 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.
