What to expect
You'll move at a leisurely pace through central Florence's main zones, stopping frequently to sit and absorb the architecture and history. The guide—a trained art historian—provides context on each major site: the religious hub around the Duomo, the political power centres at Piazza della Signoria, and landmarks tied to Renaissance art. Mid-tour, you'll visit a respected gelato maker and sample their work whilst seated. The portable stools let you settle whenever your legs need a break; there's no pressure to keep moving.
Good to know
Wheelchair accessible and stroller-friendly. Headsets ensure you hear the guide in crowds. Bring comfortable shoes despite the sitting option—you'll still walk short distances between stops. Public transport is nearby if needed. Not suitable for those wanting deep gallery interiors; focus is on exteriors and public spaces.
