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!

Baptistery to be cleaned



For anyone who's visited Florence over the past 10 years you'll know that scaffolding has been a regular sight around the top of Duomo, while cranes have tended to dominate the Florence skyline (thank goodness for Photoshop!)

 Well, now scaffolding is set to dominate Piazza del Duomo at ground level, as work to restore the ancient Bapstistery begins in March.

 The restoration of the eight outer facades, as well as the roof, is expected to cost nearly two million Euros. Meanwhile, there are plans to clean up the rest of the piazza, with all outer marble and buildings in the area to be spruced up this year.
The Baptistery will get a much needed clean
