Experience City Tours in Florence with Withlocals

"My mom and I had a wonderful tour with Michele. He adjusted our itinerary to accommodate some pain my mom had while walking and still gave us a ton of insight into the gems of Florence. Along the way he showed us clever places to relax around the city, some with astonishing views and no other tourists. He was sure to point out great places to eat and drink along the way, always happy to linger if we wanted or continue when we were ready. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Florentine art and history and helped us to feel at home in the city. Highly recommend this fabulous human. In hindsight, I wish we’d started with a shorter tour, then hired him again when we had more insight on our interests and stamina. "

"We absolutely loved our walking tour with Michele! It was myself, my husband, and our 16-month-old, and Michele was incredibly accommodating with a slightly slower pace because of the baby. He was so kind and even carried her at one point, which we truly appreciated. It felt more like a walk with a friend—someone who shared stories and insights naturally—rather than a formal tour. At the same time, we learned so much about Florence. Sometimes you come back from a tour and wonder, “What did I actually learn?” That was definitely not the case here! We left feeling informed, inspired, and so glad we chose this experience. Highly recommend!"

"We had such a good time in Florence with Dina on November 8, 2025. She was wonderful about communicating with us before our tour and was very accommodating about meeting us at our bus drop-off point (we were on a cruise). Due to time restrictions getting to/from the port in Livorno, we only had 5 hours in Florence. We had been there before so had already done some of the must-see items, so this trip was more about experiencing the city. She took us to a wonderful handmade paper shop where we learned how beautiful marbled paper is made. We bought several things, including a classy red purse with marbled leather accents. I was worried about getting it home without damage and Dina gave me a cloth bag in a little pouch to use as a carry-on for it. We had the most decadent lunch at a wonderful restaurant that specialized in truffles (generously shaved over our fantastic pasta dish), ended with cheesecake that had actually been made by our darling young waiter. Dina sent us a very user-friendly link to purchase our timed-entry Uffizi tickets and took us directly to the works we were the most interested in, so no time was wasted. She was a wealth of information about the different paintings, which made it even more interesting and memorable. We had the perfect time in Florence with Dina, customized to experience everything we were most interested in. We highly recommend her. I wish I could speak Italian, but her English is extremely good and very easy to understand."

"My husband and I enjoyed our tour of Florence its Renaissance history with Vincenzo. He was responsive and knowledgeable, and helped make the city and its history come alive. Id recommend Vincenzo without hesitation."

"Our family of 4 visited Pitti Palace with Eduardo Allan Adazzi as our tour guide. Our experience was wonderful. Eduardo was engaging, informative, and fun. His English was amazing and he told us about so many interesting details about the Medici and Habsburg families. I wish we knew about him earlier, I would have booked him for every tour he offers. AMAZING GUIDE!"

"I know we go on walking tours to learn things. However, Eddie’s tour was packed with more so much wonderful information about Florence. In the tow hours we spend with Eddie, we learned what felt like everything about Florence (though I know that is impossible). We learned the history of the world bankrupt! We are still talking about that days later. Eddie answered the kids’ questions kindly and patiently. He really seems to know so much, we loved it. "

"Cristina was exceptional! Prior to our visit she tailored our 3 hour walking tour to items of most interest to my family. In perfect English she communicated well and easily connected with all of us. Not only did she share vast knowledge about Florence’s famous history and sites, but throughout the tour she offered additional recommendations for my family to do during the remainder of our visit; and she even followed-up later with even more recommendations. Cristina is a fantastic guide and I highly recommend her!"

"Federica is everything you want in a tour guide: helpful, knowledgeable, flexible gracious and pleasant. Our family includes children and teens and they all appreciated Federica’s warm conversational approach. We spent a lovely three hours walking the city with her and the time flew by. She also made several terrific recommendations for where to eat and shop. Highly recommend if you want a local’s perspective. "

"We absolutely loved our tour with Michele. We left Florence having the great feeling that we know this beautiful city and its history better. Michele answered all our questions, we definitely recommend this tour with Michele!"

"We had an amazing tour throughout Florence with Laura. We had been already 2 days in Florence and walked about everywhere already but Laura pointed out so many amazing details in the buildings and architecture, people totally miss. And details of the history of buildings and people who are involved, the competition between the families at that time and how they shaped Florence culture and history. It was truly an immersion going back in time."
