Before you book

  • The listing's description has you meet the guide in Piazza di San Lorenzo and finish outside the Uffizi; its itinerary says the start and finish depend on the option booked. The walk takes about 2 hours 15 minutes, in English or Spanish, rain or shine.
  • This listing has a fixed price per person. Tour-Tale's own site also promotes tip-based walks, where you pay what you think the tour was worth.
  • Only the walk and the guide are included, so no entry tickets. The itinerary names the Duomo, Giotto's bell tower, the House of Dante, Palazzo Vecchio, the Loggia dei Lanzi and Ponte Vecchio; stepping into the Loggia has needed a free ticket, collected on site, since 23 January 2026.
  • Since February 2025 Florence has banned voice amplifiers on guided walks and requires wireless headsets for groups of more than 8, the guide not counted; the listing gives no group size. Cancellation, as listed: “Cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.”
