create your customized guided tour with a local guide
Are you looking for a guided tour in Florence, different from the usual and far from the “hit and run” tourism?
You’re in the right place and I’ll tell you why: with Guide me Florence you can build a tailor-made tour, designed for those who really want to understand the city, its history and its art.
I’m Agata and my guiding method – and that of all our guides – starts from a simple belief: the history of art is for everyone, you just need to find the right key how to share it with others.
Precisely for this reason, every visit with Guide me Florence is designed to engage, excite and leave a memory that lasts in time.
On this page I have collected all the useful information for you to create your guided tour in Florence: I will help you clarify your ideas, choose the stops that best suit your preferences and build an unforgettable experience.
Imagine entering a small artisan workshop and choosing exactly what interests you the most.
Building a tour with me works just like this. You tell me what you love and which sites and museums you don’t want to miss and I will guide you in creating your ideal itinerary.
A guided tour of Florence with Guide me Florence, in fact, does not follow a fixed pattern: it adapts to you, your pace, your preferences.
You don’t want to miss the most famous masterpieces? Do you prefer to tour churches and basilicas of Florence? Do you want to dedicate some time to local markets or panoramic gardens?
The more precise you are in explaining me how much time you have and what you are really interested in (art, history, archaeology, cuisine, curiosities), the more I will be able to design a truly tailor-made itinerary for you.
Keeping in mind the opening hours of museums, palaces and archaeological sites, you can customize your tour with Guide me Florence to the maximum.
The guided tours of Florence that I offer are flexible and built around your interests. Together we can choose the places to visit, the atmosphere of the tour and the pace of the day.
The only limit? The opening and closing times of the sites and the technical times at some bigger museums. For example, at the Uffizi you need at least 20 minutes just to enter and the same to exit, and this must obviously be considered when planning the tour!
After having received your request I will send you a custom itinerary proposal via email. It will include a schedule of our visits, list of sights, breaks and suggestions. You can review it, make changes and add other requests: the important thing is to build a tour together that fully satisfies your needs and interests.
Many customers who visit Florence ask me to guide them at the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries, as these two museums are considered the most important stops during a guided tour in Florence.
They are certainly right, after all the two museums preserve some of the most famous masterpieces of the Renaissance. But Florence offers much more! I am happy to design custom itineraries for the visitors who are willing to go beyond the most popular museums.
Custom tours by Guide me Florence often less crowded but fascinating museums, such as Bargello, Orsanmichele or San Marco.
To those who love nature, I always propose the visit at the Boboli and the Bardini gardens, where you can discover the history of Florence from an unexpected perspective.
Furthermore, for archaeology enthusiasts, the Archaeological Museum of Florence or the archaeological park in Fiesole are the two must-see. These are the two ideal stops where to learn about the city’s Etruscan and Roman roots.
Each guided tour of Florence has a minimum duration of 2 hours, enough to explore a neighbourhood, a museum or a basilica without rush.
If you have more time, you can also extend the tour to half a day or a full day, building a more complete itinerary.
The starting time for your tours are flexible.
The tours can start as early as 8:30 am and they generally end by 6:00 pm, compatible with the opening hours of the museums and places you wish to visit.
Prices include taxes and contributions required by law, but do not include entrance tickets to museums, palaces and gardens, which are therefore to be considered separately.
Choosing a guided tour with me and my team means treating yourself with a truly custom experience. Above all, it means choosing an immersive experience of art and history far from the rush of organized groups. Your tour will match your rhythm, your interests and your way of traveling.
Unlike group tours, which all leave at the same time (around 9 am or 2 pm), custom visits offer maximum flexibility. This allows you to choose the starting time that best suits you. You can avoid the crowds in the museums and at the most visited sites.
In addition, you can create a thematic itinerary: if you are passionate about Renaissance art, curious about historic gardens, interested in archaeological Florence or eager to discover the churches of Florence, we will design together a plan of your visits that follows your curiosity.
Finally, there is an element that really makes the difference between mass tourism and the approach in Guide me Florence: care and generosity.
With me and my collaborators you will never be a number on a list. You will always be a guest to be taken care of.
My team and I we will take you by the hand, and we will make sure that every step is an authentic encounter with Florence.
Fill out the form with your details and describe me your preferences regarding the tour. Tell me when will you come to Florence and how much time you want to spend with us.
I will answer your with a tailor-made proposal, designed to transform your visit to Florence into an unforgettable experience.
