Florence is a breathtaking city and the epicenter of Italian culture, cuisine, and history. From world-class art museums to ancient architecture, explore the wonders of Florence with Valentina, a licensed and experienced local guide.
Valentina specialises in private walking tours that combine art, history, and authentic local insight. Whether you enjoy discovering Renaissance masterpieces, strolling through historic piazzas, or sampling Florentine food and wine along the way, her tours offer an elegant and personal introduction to the city.
The Walking Tour
The walking tour typically begins at Piazza San Marco, though Valentina can also start directly from your hotel or preferred meeting point. One of the first highlights is the iconic statue of David at the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s masterpieces and important Renaissance works.
The itinerary continues to the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the heart of Florence’s historic and religious centre. Along the way, Valentina shares stories, historical context, and local insights, with occasional stops at traditional food and wine spots.
Tour Highlights & End
The tour includes visits to Piazza della Repubblica, the ancient Roman forum area, Orsanmichele Church, and the famous Porcellino leather market. You’ll also explore Florence’s political heart at Piazza della Signoria, dominated by the impressive Palazzo Vecchio.
The experience concludes at Ponte Vecchio, the historic Bridge of the Goldsmiths — a perfect ending to a memorable walk through Florence.
Optional Food & Wine Tasting in Florence
No visit to Florence is complete without tasting local specialities. Upon request, Valentina can organise food and wine tasting experiences in Florence, featuring regional cheeses, traditional dishes, and carefully selected Tuscan wines.
These tastings can be easily combined with the walking tour for a relaxed and authentic Florentine experience.
