About this event

We will visit Florence beyond the Arno River, a charming area full of picturesque streets and squares, traditional restaurants, and artisan workshops. From the center of Piazza Santa Maria Novella, our meeting point, we will walk along Via delle Belle Donne and arrive at Via Tornabuoni, the famous street lined with high-end fashion boutiques.

We will also admire Palazzo Strozzi, now home to prestigious exhibitions, and Piazza Santa Trinita. We'll cross the Santa Trinita Bridge, a Renaissance bridge offering a splendid view of Ponte Vecchio, and reach the other side of Florence, known as the Oltrarno. This is one of the most authentic and fascinating areas of the city, where historic alleys, charming squares, artisan shops, and traditional restaurants reflect the true Florentine soul.

We'll continue to Piazza Pitti, where we can admire the monumental Palazzo Pitti, the last residence of the Medici family. Finally, we’ll arrive at Ponte Vecchio, where the tour will end. From there, you can choose to cross the bridge and walk toward Piazza della Signoria, or stay in the lively atmosphere of the Oltrarno—perhaps enjoying a gelato, sipping a drink, or having a romantic dinner in one of the many traditional spots.

What does the “free tour” concept mean?

Free tours have no fixed ticket price. You are “free” to decide yourself how much you liked the tour and how much it was worth for you. Our tour guides are freelance professionals so these free tours are part of their job, this is the reason why they pay regular taxes on the donations they receive.

Are free tours available in other languages than English?

Our free tours are also available every day in Spanish and on the weekend in Italian. For a private tour, we can also provide a tour guide in many other languages. In this case, you have to contact us in advance.

Not all of our tours are the same. The morning tours last approximately two and a half hours. The Sunset tours last approximately two hours. The distance that we will cover is about 3 kilometers.

Our tours start in piazza Santa Maria Novella, in the middle of the square between the two obelisks. Piazza Santa Maria Novella is five-minute walk from the train station. For more details see the dedicated page
