Florence is one of those rare cities where every corner tells a story. But experiencing it with a local guide takes it to another level—no rushing, no confusion, just a calm walk through art, history, and life. Here’s what a private guided day in Florence can look like.

Morning: Starting at the Heart
Your day begins near the Duomo, where your guide greets you with a smile and a custom plan. Everything is tailored to your interests—whether you're passionate about Renaissance art, curious about Medici power, or just want to take your time.

You’ll head into a major landmark like the Duomo or the Uffizi Gallery, bypassing the usual lines thanks to pre-booked access. As you explore, your guide shares the stories behind the masterpieces—turning statues, ceilings, and paintings into people and events.

Midday: Through the Streets and Across the River
After the museum, you’ll stroll through Florence’s historic center. You might cross the Ponte Vecchio, pass the elegant corridors above, and step into the quieter neighborhoods where the city breathes more slowly.

This is the perfect time for a relaxed lunch. Your guide can recommend a local trattoria or small café—places you wouldn’t easily find on your own, serving up genuine Florentine dishes.

Afternoon: Gardens and Galleries
The afternoon could include a visit to the Pitti Palace and its surrounding Boboli Gardens, filled with fountains, sculptures, and centuries of aristocratic life. Or, if you prefer, explore small chapels, artist studios, or peaceful inner courtyards.

Everything flows naturally. There's no set script—your guide adjusts as the day unfolds.

Late Afternoon: A Quiet Moment
Toward the end of the day, you might head up to a viewpoint like Piazzale Michelangelo or even higher, to a hillside church overlooking the rooftops. As the sun drops behind the red-tiled city, you get a new perspective—one that’s hard to reach in a crowded tour group.

Why Choose a Private Tour?
It’s flexible: You set the pace and focus. The tour changes based on your mood and curiosity.

It’s personal: You’re not following a flag. You’re walking alongside someone who knows and loves the city.

It’s efficient: No wasting time in ticket lines or getting lost in the crowds.
