Don’t book
We booked this trip as we were interested in the history of the ponte vecchio which was the last stop, we’d even prepped a few questions ready but the tour ended before we even got there !! The guide was awful and spent more time telling us about random stuff rather than the historical info we were expecting. I saw someone else mentioned this but stupidly ignored it thinking maybe it was a one off but it clearly wasn’t ! I have done many tours over the years and none were as poor as this was

Wrong tour. Double check.
It’s chaotic in Florence. There were many tourists. One tour member said… oh I thought this was a tour about Medici’s. And that’s what it was. But I had signed up for the Florence walking tour. It was disappointing for that reason. The guide was great.

Waking your of Florence
I could not recommend this tour more but I think we may have gotten extra lucky with our guide who was beyond spectacular in knowledge, keeping us engaged every moment, leading us to shade and just a wealth of information, engaging, fascinating even my 14 year old was engaged in this heat! Thank you! We loved it and learned so so much in such a short amount of time. Excellent!!!!!!

Absolutely recommend
Wonderful overview of the city and its history. The guide was very nice, informative and spoke impeccable English. The audio devices also ensured the guide could be heard at all times. Would absolutely recommend.

Perfect for those you have shot amount of time.
Perfect tour for those staying 1-2 days in Florence. This tour gives you a taste of the city. So you know where to go and what to do, and you also learn a bit of history. Our guide Julia was fantastic for the short time she had; she gave us so many good recommendations: must-eat & drink, places to shop, and visit. She is fantastic and so passionate about her city. I would highly recommend this tour.

Walking Guided Tour of Florence landmarks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Walking Guided Tour of Florence landmarks 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 Walking Guided Tour of Florence landmarks take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Walking Guided Tour of Florence landmarks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 109 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 Walking Guided Tour of Florence landmarks?
+
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 Walking Guided Tour of Florence landmarks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking Guided Tour of Florence landmarks?
+
Around 38 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking Guided Tour of Florence landmarks 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.
