About this tour
Walk Florence's four neighbourhoods over two and a half hours armed with a vintage Polaroid camera, learning composition and film technique from an experienced shooter. You'll start in San Lorenzo, push through the Duomo precinct, Piazza della Repubblica and Ponte Vecchio, capturing frames that reveal the city differently. A guide shares local stories and shot-framing tips whilst you build a pocket-sized archive of instant prints to take home, plus gelato along the way.
Highlights

- One-on-one coaching on Polaroid composition and film tricks
- Eight colour shots included plus camera rental for the walk

What to expect
Collect a Polaroid camera and eight-frame film pack at the start, then spend two hours moving on foot through central Florence. Your guide handles camera setup and demonstrates how to meter light, frame subjects and coax the best from instant stock. Expect pauses at compelling corners—building facades, street life, architectural details—where you'll try shots whilst hearing snippets of Florentine history. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a sprint through monuments. By the tour's end, you'll have a small stack of developed prints cooling in your hands and a working grasp of analogue photography's logic.
