Welcome to Florence !
If you want to discover the city and its famous hills, what better than our Walking Tours!
Licensed by Florentine City Council
Florence is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and one of Europe's most beautiful and romantic cities. This place is perfect for anyone who just wants to relax and experience a fun and exciting time. The hotels and holiday rentals that you will find here are as beautiful as the popular Rome apartments.
In Florence, it is very advantageous to have a guide or take a tour, because simply walking around on your own, will mean that you won't know the importance of what you are looking at - and there is a lot to look at. These daily tours of Florence are lead by excellent guides and offer great value for money. Each of these tours are specially designed to give you a more in depth knowledge of the city's legendary piazzas, churches, streets and world-renowned art galleries such as the Uffizi, the Accademia, the Medici Palace, the Palazzo Vecchio, the Vasari Corridor, the Pitti Palace and the Bargello.

Your guide will help you beat the crowds for personalized, stress-free visits to the "must-sees" and will also take you off the beaten track to show you some of the lesser-known corners and hidden gems of our magnificent city.
