  Our guide Angela is awesome. It was raining heavily on the day of our tour but Angela was able to walk us through Florence as much as possible and she gave great lectures on the history and art when we were in the Galleria Academia and Ufficio. She is very well knowledge and patient. We learnt a lot touring with her and our kids, 9 and 6, loved her.

• Florence in a Day – Michelangelo’s David, Uffizi, and City Walking Tour (with Take Walks)

  This tour was hands-down the highlight of our Italian itinerary. Delivered by Take Walks, it offered seamless access to Florence’s major cultural landmarks and was exceptionally well-organized from start to finish. The Experience: We travelled from Rome to Florence by train in the morning and found the timing to be ideal for a full-day experience. The tour itself was thoughtfully paced and logistically efficient—an impressive feat, given the extensive ground we covered. Our guide was both passionate and incredibly knowledgeable, providing detailed insights without ever overwhelming us. We appreciated the blend of guided touring and opportunities for independent exploration. In one day, we visited: Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia Gallery The Uffizi Gallery The Florence Duomo (exterior) Ponte Vecchio Piazza della Signoria Palazzo Vecchio (exterior) Piazza della Repubblica The Leather Market & Il Porcellino Despite being a full itinerary, we never felt rushed. The balance of walking, viewing, and context made this a rich and rewarding experience. A Few Tips for Travellers: Book the earliest tour possible to maximize time in Florence—especially helpful if arriving from Rome. Wear comfortable shoes; although the city is compact, there's quite a bit of walking. If you're particularly interested in the Uffizi, consider brushing up beforehand or adding an extra day—there’s so much to see, and you’ll want time to savour it. In Summary: This tour offers exceptional value and delivers a concentrated dose of Florentine art, history, and beauty. For travellers on a tight timeline or those visiting from another city, Take Walks makes it easy to experience the best of Florence in a single, memorable day. Highly recommended.

  We loved Ismael he was very well informed and knew his stuff! This tour was great as it gave us a lunch break and time to chill and regroup. Great little anecdotes about all the artists and the paintings and he showed us how to experience many of the masterpieces from the best angles! Loved it! 5 stars!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, which showed us some highlights of beautiful Florence. Brenda was a great friendly and informative guide. Her passion and knowledge for art, which we saw in the Uffizi, was awesome to see and hear!! Missing the long queues was great. Very much recommended. Thanks Brenda!!

• Fantastic tour - especially if you're only here for a couple of days.

  A fantastic tour! Ishmael was a wonderful guide, so knowledgeable about art and the city. I loved the "highlights" of the Uffizi as we couldn't have gotten through the whole gallery in the short time we were here. I would highly recommend this tour.
