The experience

The tour starts as daylight fades and moves through Florence's core on foot. You'll pass the Medici Riccardi Palace, the Basilica of San Lorenzo, burial place of the Medici family, and the Florence Duomo before reaching Piazza della Signoria, the political heart of the city and still its main gathering place. The route then crosses the Ponte Vecchio, the medieval stone bridge lined with jewelers and art dealers, and ends at the Pitti Palace on the south side of the Arno.

An expert guide who speaks English leads the walk and explains the history and significance of each stop. The tour runs rain or shine, so weather won't cancel it. You'll need to be comfortable walking for 90 minutes on city streets. The operator notes the tour suits all fitness levels and is wheelchair accessible throughout, with all areas and surfaces accessible.

Luggage deposit is free if you need to leave bags somewhere during the walk. The tour is designed for groups, and children from age 12 can join. Public transportation is available nearby if you need to reach the starting point.

Operated by My Green Tour

Is this one for you?This tour works best for small groups or couples who want to see Florence's main Renaissance sites without the daytime crowds, and who are comfortable walking for 90 minutes on city streets. The evening timing is what makes the monuments visible in a different light (literally and historically), so book it if you prefer a quieter pace through the city's core.
