Chiara was an excellent tour guide. The pace was just right and she shared details and info that we never would have gleaned on our own. She was personable and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour.

I wanted to share some feedback about our recent Florence in a Day tour with our wonderful guide, Chiara Manganelli. The experience was fantastic, especially with the timed entry and skip-the-line tickets for both the Accademia Gallery and the Uffizi Gallery. This was incredibly convenient, given that it was the start of the peak season. There were lots of school groups and visitors making the most of the cooler weather, so skipping the lines made a big difference. Chiara was a wealth of information, and I really appreciated how clear and concise her explanations were throughout the tour. She gave us great recommendations for lunch, which made the day even more enjoyable. Our group of about sixteen people was provided with headsets, ensuring everyone could hear the commentary. The tour started right on time and finished at the Uffizi Gallery, where we were encouraged to explore further at our own pace. I definitely recommend this tour to others. My only suggestion would be to mention in the booking details to look out for the green bag with “walk” on it. Since I booked through Viator, I wasn’t immediately sure which tour was ours until I asked someone nearby. Thank you again for a wonderful day in Florence!

Amazing Florence walking tour, covering the most important historical centre edifices. Our tour guide was extremely sweet and made sure to enlighten us about other important buildings such as the Medici household, Medusa, Michelangelo's first musings on a stone, and many more. Highly recommended for first timers and families.

Great pace to the tour which allowed for enough time at both key sights; the David and the Uffizi. Our guide Antonio gave the right level of information to educate without baffling and I came away from the tour with a far greater appreciation of the renaissance artists and the work they produced.

Today was the absolute quintessence of the Florentine tourist experience. Having booked the tour through Viator, I woke up feeling the heavy toll of the previous day’s 14,000 steps; my body was stiff, and my enthusiasm for another day on foot was, admittedly, waning.
However, the day unfolded into a magnificent surprise. While the walking was indeed extensive, our guide, Matt, was nothing short of exceptional. By the end of the journey, I found myself calling him "Maestro," a fitting title for someone who captivated us with such profound historical knowledge and brilliant storytelling.
The hours seemed to vanish as we traversed the city. The "Florence in a Day" tour is a spectacular curation of Michelangelo’s genius and the timeless masterpieces housed within the Uffizi Gallery. It was a truly sublime experience that I would recommend to anyone. What a magnificent day it turned out to be.

This is a very detailed visit where you gain a in depth understanding of the art you are viewing. Be prepared to wait as other guests seem to wander off.

Daniela is so knowledgeable and inclusive! We had a wonderful time walking, learning and experiencing.
Viator customer · Carrie · Mar 22, 2026 Excellent
Had an outstanding tour with Giada! She was knowledgeable, and easily accommodated our special needs - I've had trouble with sciatica and my wife is recovering from chemotherapy treatments. She made sure we saw everything, and even suggested sitting down occasionally to let us rest. We never felt rushed or pressured. HIGHLY recommend booking with her!

Unforgettable, a review of your world history books with stops for lunch and questions. So lucky to still be able to see these works of art.
Viator customer · Marlene · Mar 22, 2026FAQs
Can I use a wheelchair on this tour?
Yes, but we require advance notice in order to accommodate wheelchairs on this tour. After booking, please contact us so that we can organize a private tour for you. If we cannot find a guide to lead you that day we'll offer you the same tour on the next available date or give you credit for another tour anywhere else in the world.
Do I get to enter the Duomo on this tour?
The Florence in a Day tour does not enter the Duomo because this attraction does not offer skip-the-line tickets. If you are interested in visiting the Duomo, your guide will give you some tips on when to go in order to beat the lines.
What if the weather is bad (rain, snow, hail, etc.) on the day of my tour?
Our tours run rain or shine so please dress for the elements. We also ask you to please remember hats and sunscreen if you are taking this tour in the summer as it might be very hot.
Is lunch provided on this tour?
No. You get a 1.5 hour break for lunch during which you can eat wherever you please. Your guide will be happy to give you recommendations for nearby restaurants to suit any price range.
Do I need to bring my ID?
You must provide first and last name for every guests in your party at the time of booking. All guests must also bring ID on the day of their tour.
Is Florence In A Day tour suitable for people with mobility challenges?
We would like to inform that starting from December 2, 2024, the two elevators located in the east wing of the Uffizi, near the main staircase, will be unavailable to the public due to maintenance work.
The main staircase consists of 4 flights, totaling 126 steps.
Guests who are unable to climb the stairs and require the elevator to access the main floor of the Gallery should proceed to the hall in front of the main staircase once inside the museum. There, museum staff will assist them in reaching the elevators located in the west wing.
