Florence City Tours

Florence City Tours brings together a wide range of guided experiences across one of Italy's most storied cities, pairing expert local knowledge with the streets, squares, and waterways that shaped the Renaissance. Walkers can trace the political dynasty of the Medici family through the palaces and piazzas they once controlled, or follow the literary geography of Dan Brown's Inferno through the real Florentine landmarks that inspired it. A sunset wine tasting combines the city's hillside views with Tuscan viticulture, while a 50-minute Barchetto cruise offers a quieter perspective from the Arno itself.

For those who prefer to cover more ground, electric Vespa rentals and a small-group e-bike night tour departing from Piazzale Michelangelo open up the city after dark, when the crowds thin and the illuminated skyline comes into its own. A dedicated tour exploring Renaissance gay life adds a less commonly told chapter to Florence's cultural history, drawing on art, architecture, and the social world of fifteenth and sixteenth-century Tuscany.
