Loved our Florence Free Tour – Tale! Our guide Anna was awesome — super enthusiastic and knew tons about the city. She made the whole tour so fun and interesting, and you could tell she really enjoys what she does. She gave great explanations about the main sights in the historic center and even shared a few cool stories we wouldn’t have heard otherwise. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence — such a great experience!
Alberto was knowledgeable about Florence. He gave a great insight into the Medici and their influence in Florence.
Fabulous walking tour in Florence by Chiara. 2hrs (very easy on foot) visiting many of the historic buildings in centre of Florence. Chiara told stories about the Medici family and the various artists who were responsible for building the remarkable structures from Middle Ages to the Renaissance era. Chiara would point out things that you would have missed & not appreciated without her guidance. Chiara was also very helpful in recommending places to go. Very enjoyable & highly recommended.
Debora was an amazing guide, and we truly enjoyed her stories. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting Florence! Love from Novi Sad.
Tour was fantastic Alberto our guide loves Florence and the history and was abke to explain hundreds of years of history into the tour
Highly recommend. It was a really interesting tour and our guide Chiara is a very good story teller. We were captivated throughout; she had so many facts to share with us. You can look at beautiful buildings, but to know the history of why they were built, brings them to life. Bravo 👏 After the tour, we were given lots of ideas of places to visit, so we tried the cafe with a view, as suggested, and we were not disappointed 😀
Alberto was excellent very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Florence and Renaissance Art.
It was great. Manuel was very knowledgeable and delivered the tour with aplomb.
Yesterday, I took a walking tour in Florence with Riccardo—and as someone who’s a bit of a veteran when it comes to walking tours across Europe, I have to say this was one of the best I’ve ever experienced. And no, I’m not exaggerating. Let me explain why. Everywhere in Europe (or really, the world) is steeped in history. It takes people years to specialise in certain aspects of a region’s past—let alone attempt to condense the history of an entire city. Florence is no exception. It’s one of the oldest cities in the world, layered with stories upon stories. So to design a two-hour walking tour that manages to give you a meaningful introduction without overwhelming you is an incredible feat. That’s where Riccardo truly shines. He’s created a clever narrative loop that introduces you to Florence in a way that’s light enough to follow but substantial enough to stay with you. Every stop on the tour ties into the next, and by the end, it all connects beautifully. The content isn’t overly academic, but it’s curated so thoughtfully that it enriches your entire visit—because now, you have context. And context, in a new city, is everything. So if you’re in Florence and want a tour that gives you just the right amount of history to get your bearings—and still leaves you excited to explore the city on your own—start here. This is the perfect way to get your feet wet before diving in.
Fabio was Fabulous! He taught us so much about the history and culture of the city! I felt like I had insider knowledge and truly can appreciate the history all the more due to this tour. Also, the listening technology was great - we didn’t miss anything that was said. I’d recommend this to anyone and everyone!
