Welcome!


We have 12 themed walks to choose from - or you can design your own city plan.

The walks last between 2.5 hours and 4 hours and, for most, you can choose your preferred starting time.

Just those which end with lunch or aperitivo have a fixed starting time.

You walk with your own private guide and any travelling companions you may have. No-one else.

Let us show you Florence as it should be seen - at your own pace!

We've also got guides to show you around the main museums (such as Uffizi and Galleria dell'Accademia) and you choose how many hours you need.

On this blog spot, we'll post as many wonderful photos as we can of Florence, to whet your appetite.

We'll also let you know of special offers and places we can genuinely recommend to eat or stay. There are no kickbacks for us - unlike some companies, which seek reward for mentioning a business.

If we mention a place it's because we've genuinely loved it!

Feel free to share your own experiences and memories of Florence.

Thank you for choosing Florence Walks!

Marilyn Monroe's preferred shoemaker



As always, there are so many exhibitions in Florence but this one caught our eye.

Until March 31st, at the Ferragamo Museum in piazza Santa Trinita, you can see the wonderful shoes of Salvatore Ferragamo, preferred shoemaker to many celebrities, including Marilyn Monroe.

Although not born in Florence, Ferragamo moved there in 1927, after living for a while in the US - he'd studied shoemaking in Naples. Ferragamo died in 1960.

The exhibition tells the Ferragamo story, through films and artworks. More details at www.museoferragamo.it
