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!

Winter tyre laws in Florence



If you're planning to do some driving while you're in Florence, you should know that until April 15th this year it's law to either have winter tyres on your vehicle, or carry a set of snow chains on roads at risk of snow fall or ice formation.

Special road signs mark the areas.


The fine for failing to comply is up to 318 Euro.


Worth remembering if you're planning to drive up the very steep, but picturesque, hillside to Abbey Villambrosa.
