We loved the two tours we did with Philipo - but must say the 2pm Medici tour was our favorite. He is extremely knowledgable about history but also (since he's a native) about the best places to eat. He showed us an incredible gelateria which we've returned to 3 times in the past 24 hours. Highly recommend it!!!! More

I would not recommend this tour. Our guide was so boring, soft spoken and unenthusiastic. Yes, this is a free tour but it was a waste of our time. My husband and I wanted to leave on so many occasions but did not want to be rude. We still left a tip but my tip to you is to pass... More

First - you can't go wrong with a free walking tour. Even if you are not pleased, you can just tip a little less (but not too little - I felt frustrated with the loafers who would leave without tipping). However, out of the three cities where we did walking tours (also, Paris and Rome), this was our least favorite.... More

We were in Florence only two days, and decided to to the free tours (both of them) in one day. I highly recommend you do this on your first time to Florence, as our tour guide, Irene (also an architect) was able to tell us so much about Florence (and even pointed out some things not on the official stops)....
