What to expect
Expect a brisk but thorough introduction to Florence's art and architecture. You'll navigate busy piazzas, wander quiet medieval laneways, then queue-jump into two of Italy's most visited museums. Your guide contextualises what you're seeing rather than dwelling too long on any single work. The pace suits those wanting breadth over depth. Museum visits involve standing and looking; there's natural downtime during lunch. The route is flat and accessible throughout.
Good to know
