Additional Information

Embark on your private exploration in the calm and invigorating twilight with a knowledgeable local escort. The square is buzzing with activity: residents engaging in conversation, kids having fun, and sightseers taking note of the place where Michelangelo’s David was once situated, and now a replica stands. If it’s still accessible, take a quick look into the courtyard of the stunning Palazzo Vecchio, then proceed past the Uffizi Gallery, until you locate yourselves beside the River Arno. The evening’s golden illumination would undoubtedly result in breathtaking photographs.
Cross the river at its thinnest stretch over the well-known Ponte Vecchio, leading you into the Oltrarno locality and the Pitti Palace of the Medicis. Listen to interesting stories from your guide while admiring glimpses of the magnificent Boboli Gardens. Afterwards, take time for a pleasant surprise - traditional gelato. As you stroll with your gelato, pass by some of the well-known shopping avenues like Via Roma and Piazza della Repubblica, while your guide shares valuable advice about the finest spots to shop and dine. Conclude your evening stroll at the legendary Duomo.

Best tour we have had! - We had the best time with Barbara on our Florence (ah hem, Firenze) tour!! She was so knowledgeable, funny, charismatic, honest, and she made us feel important and like we were the only people in the city. She was personal yet professional and we enjoyed every minute! We took back streets to avoid crowds and got some amazing photos of art, architecture and views from all around Florence. Double 5 star review!!! Thanks to people like her, i would actually recommend the tour and would tell people to request Barbara.

Florence Food and Wine Tour. - I can not express how good this tour was. Aldo Was absolutely amazing. He gave us so much information about Wine and culture of Florence and Italy. We also spoke a lot about how his family and my grandparents were both from Sicily. Thank you so much for an amazing tour.

Fabulous Walking Tour in Florence - I have been so impressed with LivTours. We just had a beautiful tour in Florence - conducted by Monica. The couple that was supposed to join us cancelled - so we had a private tour. She was so knowledgeable, classy and had a wonderful sense of humor. I would recommend her specifically - and LivTours in general. Everything went like "CLOCK WORK".

Great walking tour of Florence - On our first evening in Florence, we met Julia, our guide for the 2-hour walking tour of Florence culture. She was very knowledgeable and fun and we learned so much from her as we walked the streets of Florence learning about its history and culture. She introduced us to some wonderful people and helped us make a reservation at an amazing restaurant for dinner afterwards. We highly recommend this tour to anyone just arriving in Florence to get a great overview of the city.

Amazing tour through Tuscan history - Aldo was an amazing guide, he made sure that we saw all of the "must see" sights and many of the hidden gems. Even as someone that has read a lot about Renaissance history (Florence in particular) there were still many new things that I learned & saw. I only wish I had more time to see more and study it in more detail.
