With the number of places to see, Florence can almost seem a little intimidating. A knowledgeable guide like Pia can make all the difference. We highly recommend Walks tours.

Excellent, thorough tour of the Uffizi Gallery and to see the David. Good amount of general Florence history added to the mix. Daniele was enthusiastic and very informative. Loved the skip the line feature for both museums.

City Experiences did an outstanding job for us from the get-go -- easy to sign-up, they kept us informed and communicated extremely well with us leading up to the event. This tour was very, very good. Valentina, our tour guide, was exceptional. The tour was amazing as we visited some of the wonders of the world with a guide that was highly informed, entertaining, personable and competent. The lines for the attractions were long and crowded. It was ideal to have the beneit of going to the front of the line. We highly recommend this tour and, if you're lucky, this tour guide.

What if the weather is bad (rain, snow, hail, etc.) on the day of my tour?
Our tours run rain or shine so please dress for the elements. We also ask you to please remember hats and sunscreen if you are taking this tour in the summer as it might be very hot.
Do I get to enter the Duomo on this tour?
The Florence in a Day tour does not enter the Duomo because this attraction does not offer skip-the-line tickets. If you are interested in visiting the Duomo, your guide will give you some tips on when to go in order to beat the lines.
