Travel guides and tips
- Florence is home to a variety of historic landmarks and awe-inspiring art galleries with spectacular architecture. To truly immerse yourself into the raw Florentine experience, it's best to opt for a guided tour for an extraordinary Florence trip. Delve deep into the city's history, explore hidden gems, and understand the artist behind iconic works, with your knowledgeable tour guide. They'll accompany you through the tour and regale you with fascinating insights and information about each place you visit. Moreover, opting for a guided tour also offers skip-the-line entry, which allows you to bypass the long waiting lines and get direct entry.
- Most guided tours are available in widely-spoken languages such as English, Italian, French, Spanish, and more. You can expect your tour guide to be fluid in multiple languages, allowing you to fully understand the experience.
- Since most guided tours include the services of a local guide, you would not require an audio guide on your journey. However, if the guided tour includes a large group, audio guides may be given out to all guests for better understanding of the experience. If a local guide is not a part of your experience, you will receive an audio guide which you can take along on your self-guided tour.
- Some guided tours may include return transfers where you would be picked up and dropped off from/to a common point in the city. This is common in a day trip or multi-day experiences such as Florence To Tuscany day trips, Florence To Pisa day trips, Florence To Chianti day trips, and Florence To Siena day trips, where the travel part of your tour is long. Not all guided tours include transport; be sure to check these details under the inclusion section of your ticket.
- Yes, most guided tours booked online do offer skip-the-line entry. You'll be accompanied by your local guide past the waiting lines and will enter through the priority entrance, allowing you to save time. You can enjoy guided tours that include skip-the-line access with Duomo Florence tickets, Uffizi Gallery tickets, Accademia Gallery tickets, Palazzo Vecchio tickets, and Palazzo Pitti tickets.

Hassle free experience with Headout, Ciao Florence tour to Chianti wineries was great and definitely value for money. Clean airconditioned bus, English speaking guide and no pressure wine tasting!

The ticketing experience worked out just fine, the only negative point I would like to mention is that on the day of the visit to the Cathedral we had to wait for more than 1 hour on the line along with dozens of other people, all of us under heavy heat, even though we had booked a guided tour! It was not pleasant! I must say however that our tour guide, Rosa, was extremely nice and made every efforts to overcome the situation but it was a matter of internal organization at the Cathedral. As a suggestion, they shoul be more careful with the booking of the slots to avoid these situations, particularly when major crowds are expected.

We recently participated in a guided tour of the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries. Our tour guide, Alex had a wealth of knowledge to share and she really brought the paintings alive for my two children. I will be recommending this tour to all my friends.
Thank you, Alex for fantastic tour of the Uffizi gallery this morning!

While the crowd seemed chaotic when we walked down the street to meet our guide, it was extremely well organized and well run. We had a nice small group with an excellent guide. The tour was nicely done. Not too long, not too short. We could stay as long as we wanted after which was nice. All in all I'm glad we booked this!
