Take part in the collective Italian custom of the evening stroll, or passeggiata on this comprehensive introductory walk through Florence’s historic centre. Explore the bustling piazzas and the placid backstreets and acquaint yourself with the city’s art, architecture, food, history and modern-day life.

• Walking tour through the heart of historic Florence passing through bustling piazzas and the placid backstreets

   

• English speaking guide

   

The Florence Evening Introduction is a comprehensive start to your exploration of the city’s past and present. Begin the walk in the late afternoon, when the city tends to be a bit calmer. In the company of an expert local guide you’ll bisect the historical centre and become familiar with the layout of the city and important landmarks.   During the course of your wanderings, the guide will talk about everything from art to architecture, food to festivals and everything in between. You  may spend as much time talking about fashion, coffee, or wine as you do about the Medici or Michelangelo; or you may find yourself with a grad student writing her dissertation on Florentine history who wants to show you some out-of-the-way place of tremendous historical importance that most visitors simply bypass on their way to the big-name monuments.   This walk also provides the opportunity to go over any logistical questions (using the public transport system, buying stamps, etc.) and pick the docent’s brain for local picks for eating, drinking, shopping and events.
