Meet your guide in front of Santa Croce church and learn interesting facts about the wonderful square and the place where Michelangelo is buried
The next stop on the tour is Piazza della Signoria, the political centre of Florence.
Florence’s most famous and oldest bridge, Ponte Vecchio, is next. Your guide will explain the bridge’s history, and specifically how the Vasari Corridor radically changed the botteghe (shops) that line the bridge. You’ll appreciate the wonderful views of the hills that surround Florence the bridge offers.
Then, it’s on to the magnificent Piazza Duomo, where you’ll see the stunning Cathedral with its unique marble engravings, and, towering above everything is Brunelleschi’s Dome. The dome is a landmark of Renaissance Florence architecture.
The tour ends in front of the church of San Lorenzo, and from here you can explore the surrounding market area on your own.
My husband and I just arrived in Florence and decided to take this tour to orient ourselves to the area. The nighttime views were beautiful and a lot less crowded than duting the day. I can't remember our guides name (Gorgina?), but she did a terrific job! We would highly recommend it!
Excellent walk - full of history and interesting details that the guide books don't share. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave the group time to absorb the magic of Florence.
We had an evening tour with Glenda through the streets of Firenze. The tour was supposed to nclude another couple but they didn't make it. We found the meeting point easily and were taken around the streets. Glenda was fantastic and although English was not her guest language, she spoke very well and clear enough for us to understand. She had great knowledge and interesting facts for us and this made the tour very interesting. The walk was very gentle and would be easy fof most people to try. We picked up a couple of spots we wouldn't have visited otherwise, as we didn't know they existed. We ended in a food hall in with plenty of time to eat after the tour. Really recommended that you consider an evening walking tour.
