About this journey
The Renaissance, at walking pace.
A Florence city tour is the most beautiful way to discover the city that invented the Renaissance. Walk through the historic centre and meet the monuments that made Florence a global icon of art and culture — properly explained, properly experienced.
Be enchanted by the imposing Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (the Duomo), admire the beauty of Giotto’s Bell Tower and the Baptistery of St. John. Walk through the vibrant Piazza della Signoria, see the exterior of the celebrated Uffizi Gallery, cross the charming Ponte Vecchio and close at the elegant Piazza della Repubblica.
A walk that brings together history, art and unforgettable landscapes — perfect for travellers who want to feel Florence in its essence. The Renaissance, on foot, at the rhythm it deserves.
What you’ll experience
Florence's icons, properly walked.
The Duomo & Piazza del Duomo
Santa Maria del Fiore — Brunelleschi's impossible dome, Giotto's bell tower and the octagonal Baptistery. Three masterpieces in one piazza.
Piazza della Signoria
Florence's outdoor sculpture museum. Michelangelo's David (a copy of the original), the Loggia dei Lanzi, and the Palazzo Vecchio that ruled the Medici Florence.
The exterior of the Uffizi
We walk past one of the world's greatest galleries — built in 1580 to house the Medici offices, now home to Botticelli, Leonardo and Caravaggio.
The Ponte Vecchio
Florence's oldest bridge — the only one Hitler spared in 1944. Goldsmiths' shops still line both sides as they have for 500 years.
Piazza della Repubblica
The elegant square of cafés, carousel and the historic Caffè Gilli. Where Florentines come for an aperitivo and a moment of beauty.
An English-speaking guide
Our certified guide is fluent in English and lives in Florence — the city told with the warmth and detail of a Florentine friend who knows where to walk, where to pause, and which stories matter.
