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!

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK


“My tour of Florence was amazing. A truly perfect introduction to the city! The entire walk was tailored to my interests and I appreciated the special attention to the type of city history I was most interested in learning.
I would definitely recommend your tours to anyone else visiting Florence. Thanks again for making arrangements last minute for me when I was there.”
Brooke, from the United States, did a Mystery Walk in January 2014.



“We met up with Erika yesterday and had a wonderful time especially at the end at the fantastic little bar. Erika was very knowledgeable and certainly answered all our questions and was very friendly and full of hints for our trip.” 
Megan and David took the Pranzo Walk (2) in October 2013




We would highly recommend to anyone going to Florence to undertake one of your tours as it helps give an inside knowledge of the city which you would unlikely discover by yourself or though simply reading a guidebook.”
Justin and Sarah did a Mystery Walk and the Shoppers’ Delight Walk in April 2013

“We started our five day visit to Florence in February with a Mystery Tour and were thrilled we had such an engaging and informative guide. She…gave us amazing value, and lots of hints and tips on how to spend our next few days. I would strongly recommend Florence Walks to people who like to do something a little bit different.”
Jennifer and Alan chose a winter Mystery Walk in February 2013

"This was a highlight of our visit not only to Florence but the whole of Italy … the restaurant capped everything off. The journey to the village outside Florence was scenic and the Osteria itself was the kind of quaint, authentic destination that only local knowledge could uncover. The staff were warm and the Tuscan food was exceptional - the chefs are clearly proud of their culinary heritage. It was relaxed, five-star dining."
Ben and Pippa chose Walk No. 9, the Pranzo Walk (2), in October 2012

"We really enjoyed our walking tour with Francesca ...we liked her straight forward approach along with her huge font of local knowledge & history. We actually went a bit over time, as she said we couldn't leave without seeing a few more things! I would have no hesitation in recommending your walk as a great intro to the beautiful city."

Peta and Penny did the Mystery Walk in July 2011

“Just wanted to let you know that Francesca was absolutely magnificent! Her guided tour gave us wonderful insights into Florence - it was really, really worth doing... she is so knowledgeable and her obvious love of the city was contagious!
