What to expect
You'll meet your guide and choose your route—or trust them to sense what you need. The Classic route connects the essential monuments and their stories without the tourist script. Oltrarno dips across the Arno into quieter neighbourhoods where you'll encounter actual makers: leather workers, jewellers, restoration studios tucked into medieval buildings. The Incognito route is genuinely flexible—your guide reads energy and curiosity, pivoting between lesser-known corners and unexpected turns. All routes move at a conversational pace, stopping to linger where something genuinely interests you. Expect to hear Florence's messier, more human history alongside the art-historical headlines.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes; cobblestones are unforgiving. The tour works rain or shine. Bring water. Gratuities aren't included but guides appreciate them. Prams and strollers manage most routes, though Oltrarno has steeper sections.
