About this activity
The birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, Florence has a wealth of artistic and cultural treasures to behold, and you and your children will have a wonderful experience discovering them as your expert kid-friendly guide both entertains and informs you.

You will meet your guide in Piazza Santa Croce, close to the Santa Croce church, home to the tomb of Michelangelo. Your first stop on your walk through the city centre will be Ponte Vecchio, from where you can enjoy spectacular views across the city and of the beautiful hills surrounding Florence.

That will be followed by Piazza della Signoria, the home of Florentine politics and the site of the incredible Loggia, which presents a number of magnificent bronze and marble statues created by Florentine sculptors in the 1500s.

You will continue your stroll past the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most prestigious in the world, before beholding the stunning architecture of Palazzo Vecchio, the town hall of Florence. Before long you will come to the old market, a busy, bustling area of the city where you will find a statue of a wild boar known as the "Porcellino". You and your children can ensure yourselves good luck in the future by rubbing the little boar's nose!

Piazza della Repubblica is another of Florence's most famous squares, and it will provide an evocative backdrop to our guide's enthralling tales about the history and culture of Florence as well as the lives of its citizens. One of the finest examples of Florentine architecture is constituted by the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, or as it more simply known, the Duomo (cathedral), probably the most important symbol of the Renaissance in Florence.

Our highly-qualified guide will tell you about the history of the cathedral along with some intriguing anecdotes to shed further light on an architectural masterpiece which, designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, was truly avant-garde at the time of its completion.

Once the tour is over, you can enjoy a characteristic lunch at San Lorenzo's Market, and walk around all the attractive, picturesque stalls.

This outdoor sightseeing tour requires a great deal of energy that's why some genuine gelato will be offered to everyone during the tour!
