Guided tours, experiences, itineraries

Visiting a city with a professional tour guide is undoubtedly the best way to get a feel for the place. And when it comes to making the most of it, there are plenty of options to choose from.

City of Florence Guides

The City of Florence has compiled a list of both tourist and environmental guides, all of whom are authorised and qualified, with whom it has agreed on a number of key objectives to ensure visitors get the most out of their time in the city and its surroundings, in the spirit of increasingly sustainable tourism.

The names of these professionals, the languages they speak and, in some cases, their CVs can be found in the lists we have published on this website:

In the same vein, and with a continued focus on sustainability and quality, there is a list of City of Florence Tour Operators.
