Florence is a famous destination for too many reasons to count. On the surface, the city is a treasure trove of ancient history and art, fantastic food, and beautiful nature.

Instead of sticking to the tourist trail, Florence tours with locals can show you the city’s must-see attractions from a local perspective. Breakaway from the crowds to find family-run trattorias or watch the sunset from a private, hidden terrace no traveler could find alone.

Latest reviews from our guests

Miguel or Michell was a great tour guide I love that he gave us history and details about items and things around Florence that we didn't know. The fact that he took his time with us I was very patient one of my relatives is very old and she wants to raise slow and I love the fact that he really just took the time to make all of us feel like family truly appreciate his time and I would definitely use him again as a tour guide and would definitely recommend them to someone else. Couple of the things that I really appreciated was that he took the time to take us to places that honestly were like one of those like you know places that are really known only if you are a local I like the fact that we came out of this experience feeling like we understood Florence so much better. And I want to thank him because he took the time out to help us out to figure out where we needed to be since we had to be at a certain location and again time from his from his own self and again truly thank him again and would recommend him.

We booked the 2 hour private tour with a local guide. I highly recommend this tour. Our guide Mara with "City Unscripted" was very knowledgeable and took us to areas of Florence that we would not have ventured to on our own. She made recommendations for things for us to do on our own and places to eat that were not in touristy part of Florence.
