The best Florence night tours & experiences with locals

With countless cultural and artistic contributions lining its historic streets, Florence is a true wonder of the ancient world. Italy’s sun-dappled Cradle of the Renaissance is so breathtaking by day that it’s impossible to imagine it could be equally lovely at night – but Florence night tours with City Unscripted might just surprise you. As the sun sets, Florence’s stunning cityscape provides the perfect backdrop for a vibrant nightlife scene. At night, the cobbled streets – crowded with tourists during the day day – are abuzz with locals heading to restaurants and rooftop bars for a much-needed wind-down. Let’s see where night tours in Florence take you!

Experience Florence as night falls

When the city lights begin dancing playfully on the Arno River and locals descend on the centuries-old streets, the atmosphere of Florence changes. Night tours in Florence happen when the tourist attractions have closed for the day, and local haunts and nightlife hubs swing open their doors. This is when the true spirit of Florence is tangible. Spend a glorious evening uncovering all the hotspots and hidden gems. With a local guide to help you cut out all the places catering solely to tourists, Florence night tours will give you a unique glimpse of the locals-only lifestyle

Choose your own speed

We want to give you the best night ever, so our night tours in Florence are 100% personalized to suit your pace. Don’t be fooled by Florence’s peaceful facade, because the city knows how to party! Take your pick between speaker-shaking clubs, crowded pubs, and loud live music venues. But if you like your evenings on the low-key side, there are plenty of amazing activities to fill your Florence night tours. Sip a Tuscan red at a cozy wine bar, have a drink at a sleek cocktail lounge, indulge in the Italian tradition of aperitivo, or simply take a moonlit stroll down quiet cobbled streets.

All the must-sees (minus the crowds)

Florence is one of the most famous destinations in Italy, so it’s no wonder the city is packed with visitors year-round. Night tours in Florence are the ideal opportunity to explore the city’s iconic attractions and famous locations at your own speed. Maybe you’ll snap pictures of illuminated monuments like the Torre della Castagna and the San Lorenzo church, stroll across sparkling waters on a quiet Ponte Vecchio, or move between artistic treasures in the old city center before ending up where all Florence night tours should: with a glass of Tuscan wine at an atmospheric bar.

Michele was an excellent guide. We were able to see everything we wanted in 4 hours. His recommendations for food were spot on. He was waiting on us in our hotel lobby prior to the start time. I would 100% use him again and I’ll be recommending him to my friends.

On October 22nd, Gerry from City Unscripted took my wife and I through the beautiful old town of Tivoli. We began with a walk through the city streets, and Gerry took the time to explain how life in the middle ages affected the architecture of the city. He showed a deep knowledge of the area, its history and explained it very well. For Lunch, we ate at a small local restaurant where fresh pasta and wine from the owners' vineyard were provided - we didn't have to wait long, and the food tasted great. We then went through the Villa d'Este UNESCO World heritage Site, where we were given in-depth explanations on the meanings of the frescoes found in the villa, and looked upon many beautifully crafted fountains and well-maintained gardens. As we were running a bit short on time, our last two stops - The Tivoli Duomo Cattedrale di San Lorenzo (where we were allowed to see the ancient structure of the church) and the outer area of the Villa Gregoriano (where we saw a Roman temple) - were quite short, but Gerry wanted to fulfill my request of seeing more ancient structures from the Roman period, which was appreciated. Overall, I think we may have bit off more than we could chew, but Gerry was an excellent guide through the whole day.
