About this tour
Three hours exploring Florence's essential landmarks with a private guide who shapes the itinerary around your interests. Visit the Duomo, Baptistry, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, Piazza della Repubblica, Pitti Palace, and Santa Croce church at your own pace. Your guide navigates crowds, shares stories behind each site, and adjusts the route based on what captivates you—whether that's Renaissance architecture, art history, or simply finding the best vantage points.
Highlights
- Duomo's marble façade and Brunelleschi's dome engineering
- Ponte Vecchio's jewellery shops and Arno views
- Piazza della Signoria's outdoor sculpture gallery
- Pitti Palace's Renaissance courtyard and gardens
- Santa Croce's frescoes and art-historical weight
What to expect
Your guide meets you and steers you through Florence's compact centre, stopping at each major site to provide context—architectural details, historical figures, artistic movements—without lengthy museum visits unless you request them. Expect a brisk but absorbing walk with breaks for photos and questions. The route flows logically across bridges and through plazas, avoiding the worst tourist bottlenecks where possible. You'll cover significant ground in three hours, so wear comfortable shoes. Your guide adapts the pace: linger at sites that grip you, skip others if time is tight.
Good to know
Museum entry fees (Uffizi, Accademia, Pitti interiors) aren't included and must be arranged separately if desired. The city is entirely walkable and flat. Book ahead if visiting July–September. Bring water and sunscreen.
