Free Tour of Florence
Discover Florence's historic centre on this 2-hour free walking tour with a local guide
Tours in Florence are offered by our partners, Florence Free Tour-Tale.
The beautiful city of Florence, rightfully known as the “Cradle of the Renaissance” is on every traveller’s must-see list, and understandably so! Nestled in the Tuscan hills, straddling the River Arno, with its magnificent pink-and-green-marble buildings and terracotta-roofed skyline, Florence is one of the most iconic cities in Italy, or perhaps Europe… or even the world!
With the elegant domed roof of the Duomo, Florence’s stunning cathedral, forming the centrepiece of the city, and countless piazzas to wander across and palazzos to discover, there is no better way to explore Florence than on foot. Our trusted partners in Florence, Florence Free Tour-Tale, offer a brilliant Free Walking Tour that covers the main highlights of the city, such as the Piazza Signoria, the Palazzo Medici and the Ponte Vecchio, led by their experienced local guides who will bring the Renaissance to life while delving into the secrets and stories of Florence’s most influential family, the Medicis.
Florence’s list of famous residents reads like a “Who’s Who” of the Renaissance, with names such as Galileo, Dante, Botticelli, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Rafael and Donatello being instantly recognisable even to those of us without Art History degrees, and Florence is unsurprisingly home to some of the world’s most famous museums and works of art. No visit to Florence is complete without exploring the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery or the Galleria dell’Accademia, which houses Michaelangelo’s David, so check out the various Museum Tours that Florence Tour-Tale have on offer!
If you can’t get enough of Florence (like us!), Tour-Tales’ “Off the Beaten Track” tour takes you further afield and heads to the fascinating areas around Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella – not to be missed!
