Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

Only 7 people and the tour was by Van. The driver guided us during the drive but no guide joined us at our stop in Castellina. Professional presentations at the wineries. Especially at Poggio Amorreli with Andrea where we were treated with Spumante, one white and two red Chianti and one supertuscan. We also got bread, cheese, salami with their own balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The driver called for a taxi upon arrival in Florence ????

This was our 2nd private tour that we did through Uniquetuscany (2017/2020). Our guide, Alessandro was very specific to the covid restrictions and offered us new masks during the day! He did a wonderful job explaining the history of the towns. Our highlight was the visit to Tuscany organic farm where we had our lunch with amazing view. We stopped at Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa. There was a lot of walking and moving from in and out of the minivan so make sure you wear comfortable shoes. I definitely recommend this tour while visiting Florence since you get a lot of history while on the minivan to each town. Just not enough time in all the towns but 10 hours is a long day! still worth the trip! Highly recommended..

I had a wonderful experience at the Uffizi Gallery with my guide Irina. I thought the 49 euro ticket was extreeemely good value for what was provided, I was able to skip the queue and Irina provided a huge amount of information. She was engaging and enthusiastic and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Furthermore, Irina emailed me on all of the information that she had mentioned afterwards, so I have the memories and stories of the Uffizi Museum with me forever now. I would highly recommend a tour with Irina! (I was here over a year ago in July 2018!)

" What a wonderful introduction to Florence! Gianni went beyond our expectations as a foodie guide. Firstly he met us outside our accommodation and walked us to the start of the tour giving us insight to the streets of Florence along the way. He was so knowledgeable about the local history and shared this with us. He was happy to stop and let us take photos over the whole tour. The food places we visited were amazing! Gianni has a personal history with most of the store owners and introduced us as if we were his family. We were made to feel so welcome and spoilt at every destination. From local markets to an exquisite wine cellar and gelatos to finish, this tour had it all! I highly recommend this tour to everyone who loves food and as a great introduction for first time visitors to Florence. Love this city and we loved Gianni! Thank you! From Michele, Kaitlin and Natalie from Australia July 2019 "

Davide was an excellent tour guide for my group of friends on an early Saturday morning. It was obvious that he loved his job and it showed through the history he walked us through during the entire tour. I would highly recommend any tour with Davide and if the Vatican is on your bucket list, then early morning access is the tour you want. Happy travels!

I feel compelled to warn others who may be considering using Walks Tours to be wary of any bookings. My experience follows. In January 2020 I booked 3 tours in Italy for my wife and myself with Walks Tours in the middle of May. Payment in advance was required with the guarantee that “tours may be cancelled free of charge up to 72 hours before departure.” On March 14, 2020 I cancelled the tours and I received notice via email that a refund would be issued back to the original card used upon booking. Please understand I couldn’t have gone to Italy if I had wanted to. The country was on lockdown and international travel closed. On May 27, 2020 I received an email from Walks stating they were not going to refund my purchase, but instead they issued a credit voucher for double the value of the original purchase. I have been trying to get my promised refund ever since (4 months) through Walks and AMX. There is a “FORCE MAJEURE” clause in the fine print of their terms and conditions that they executed to cancel my refund. Be wary of booking through this company in advance. They drew my money and held on to it despite cancelling 60 days prior to the tours. For info, I also booked tours with Viator that were not paid in advance, could be cancelled up to 48 hours in advance without charge and the cancellations were honored.

We had a great time with Ben. A very gentle guy from London sharing with us his favourite adresses (churches, bar and restaurants) in Florence. We recommend the longer tour of 90min. This tour with golf cart allows to park very close to the different sights. This is a perfect way for a first panoramic tour in Florence. Ben is definitely a nice fellow!
