Private Tours in Florence

Whether you’re a lover of food, art, culture, history (or all of the above!) Florence has something to offer for everyone. With so much to see in this gorgeous Tuscan city, sometimes booking a tour in Florence is the best way to make sure you cover it all! Browse through this list of some of the different types of Florence tours that are worth checking out.

  • Walking Tour of Florence Attractions

    Walking Tour of Florence Attractions

    Florence is a city built to be explored by foot. Join a walking tour that covers some of the major Florence attractions that you know you must check out on your trip. Don’t worry about getting tired, as the historic center of Florence is quite compact and the main attractions are all located fairly close to each other. And any good walking tour in Florence will include frequent breaks (and a gelato pit-stop or two!).

    All you have to do to find the best walking Florence tour for you is ask your local guide! They’ll be able to recommend a walking tour based on your interests and which attractions you’d like to see.

  • Florence Food Tours

    Florence Food Tours

    Ready to eat your way through the city? You can (and should) do a Florence tour focussed purely on food! Your local host will be able to guide you to all the best restaurants and food markets that offer the most authentic Florentine dishes. This way you can discover some of the hidden foodie gems and restaurants that are frequented by Florence locals.  

    If you’re a lover of the local cuisine, you should also pick up some ingredients and items from some of the many food markets in Florence. Your host can give you a private cooking class and teach you how to prepare a traditional Tuscan meal for your friends and family back home!  You know you’ll be craving the food pretty much as soon as you land back home!

  • Day Tour of Nearby Tuscan Cities

    Day Tour of Nearby Tuscan Cities

    Florence is the perfect base from where to explore the beautiful Tuscan area. If you want to spend a day from your trip checking out the wider Tuscan region, you’ll be able to find tours that cover nearby San Gimignano, Siena and Pisa among others. Snap a photo in front of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa in the morning, have lunch in a square in Siena, and finish off the day with wine in the medieval town of San Gimignano.

    Your local host will be able to map out a tour for you, and even happily come along to show you the best things to do in these Tuscan cities. Remember, a Florence tour doesn’t have to be restricted to the city itself when there’s so much beauty to explore in this region!

  • Vespa Tour in Florence

    Vespa Tour in Florence

    Ever imagined yourself zipping through the cobbled streets of Florence or the rolling hills of Tuscany on a Vespa? Well, it no longer has to be just a dream! There are Florence tours available where you are led around some of the city’s main attractions on the famous Italian scooter. These Vespa tours often go up into the Tuscan hills as well as exploring off the beaten track sites away from the city’s center.

    If you want a private tour rather than a group experience, you can simply rent a Vespa and ask your local host to map out a tour for you. They can recommend some spots that are easy to reach on your Vespa, and also some tips on hidden gems you can discover outside the main city. Remember to drive safely and practice caution in the busy and bustling inner city streets!

  • Tuscan Wine Tours in Florence

    Tuscan Wine Tours in Florence

    Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or not, you’re probably already aware that Tuscany is famous for its wines. If you want to enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting and checking out some of the impressive vineyards and wine estates, take a wine tasting tour in Florence. Better yet, take a wine and cheese tour!

    You will most likely be taken to the nearby Chianti region which is the most famous area in Tuscany for wine. Don’t worry about having to find your way back after one too many glasses! Most wine tours in Florence offer hotel drop offs as well.

Private & Personalized Tours in Florence with a Local

When you hit the road and land in a new city like Florence, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.

Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Florence spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Florence.

The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.

But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Florence, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Florence awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.

So, next time you're in Florence, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Florence. Get ready to explore like a local!

    Pottering in Florence

    "We had a wonderful tour with Martina. Her knowledge and passion for Florence and its history was excellent. We immediately felt welcome and the tour was at our pace. A brief stop at a local bar for Prosecco was lovely, and we finished at a location on the tour that was convenient for our afternoon plan. We would not hesitate to recommend Martina to anyone looking for a tour in Florence. 10 out of 10"

    Tour of Uffizi Gallery

    "We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Christina for a tour of the Uffizi Galleries she really tailored the tour to our needs and focussed the tour to suit our daughter who is studying art. She was really knowledgeable and great fun to spend time with. Despite Christina loosing her voice the day before she didn’t want to let us down and used a microphone and head sets to ensure we could hear her. Would highly recommend booking Christina for tours in Florence."

    Great balance between art and wine!

    "We had a very nice experience with Matteo in Florence. He easily accommodated our request to see the Pontormo painting at the Capponi Chapel and then took us through Basilica di Santo Spirito which he knew well. Afterwards, he took us to two of his favorite places to taste wine--a long-running family business and an expansive wine store. As we wrapped up, he pointed us to the best gelato nearby. Matteo, who is from Florence, followed up later with an extensive list of recommendations for places to eat and shop in the city. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!"

    Awesome Tour - Go with Michele

    "Michele was awesome. He personalized this tour specifically to our interest. Michele was professional, courteous and friendly. We wanted him to focus on the Medici legacy and he did not disappoint. He ended the private tour at the Medici Chapel, we were able to spend ample time there and Michele provided a lot of narrative as we went from room to room."

    A very warm experience

    "Firenze was 100 degrees, but our great experience with Ana helped us tolerate the heat for a few hours. Ana is a warm, friendly and caring guide who shared her story, that of her family and the story of parts of Firenze that visitors could never experience on their own. Our Chianti tasting at three venues with various snacks selected by Ana made for an A+ excursion which we booked while we were on our cruise ship. Amazing what one can do these days with a telephone!! And, thanks Ana, for that fabulous pistachio gelato. The best!"
