  • Great night time tour.

    Really enjoyed this evening history tour. Our guide was Stefano. He had a lot of knowledge about the history of Florence and the ruling families of the Renaissance. The audio devices provided were great. As someone who sometimes has difficulty hearing in crowded places this allowed us to hear every word. We did cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Which may be difficult if you have mobility issues. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    The guide has lots of info and not so well known facts. He did a good job but not a very animated speaker

  • Great way to spend an evening in Florence

    Stefano was a wonderful guide and storyteller, and it was such a fun way to spend our evening. We loved seeing some lesser known corners of Florence and hearing all about its history from such a knowledgeable source, and being at night gave it a great ambiance. The pacing was perfect with ample breaks between walking. Highly recommend!

  • Florence is beautiful by night.

    We liked the idea of a night walk and Stefano was a great host. He led us around the lanes and alleyways and past ancient buildings and bridges and gave us an interesting insight into the wealthy families of Firenze and of course their loves and betrayals. We learnt a lot and would recommend this tour as the City looks beautiful by night .

  • Knowledgable guide, just a bit long

    The guide is knowledgeable and certainly knows his history about the Medici family. We felt this tour was a bit too long; by the time we reached Ponte Vecchio, we were both done.

    Be ready to walk! Wear good shoes. This was a great way to orient ourselves on our first night. We enjoyed the tour but found ourselves losing focus amidst the details after an hour. Still, we recommend it as it introduced us to many places that we were able to revisit in following days.

  • A MUST for anyone interested in the history of Florence

    I cannot understate the amount of insightful knowledge and historical facts that are delivered on this tour. Marcello was my guide and he provided and incredibly detailed recollection of power struggles and triumphs over throughout Florence’s history. Even if you think that you know everything about the city and have done all of the alternative museums - this tour WILL provide you with something you haven’t seen before!

  • Well meaning but poorly executed tour

    It's hard to know what to make of this tour. It was like someone turned on a fire hydrant full of historical facts that were all about Florence but otherwise unrelated to one another. The tour guide kept jumping from one thing to the next, it wasn't clear if the items were supposed to be related or not. It was really just confusing and frustrating.

  • Great tour and perfect pre dinner

    I loved this so much. Ok it was 4 years ago but was booking another and saw I could review. This was the maiden “tour” for me on Viator and now I do them all over the world. Don’t forget to tip your operator. This was chanting at sunset and full of amazing facts about fashion houses, medieval events and incredible secrets. Loved it !

  • Another side of the city

    Valentina led us through history with unheard stories from distant or more recent past which made us discover a different city. The gelato at the end was delicious
