Every suggested itinerary is by foot because the town’s historical center is quite small and almost entirely pedestrianized. For your special request, I can arrange a tour with a professional driver (please note this is an additional service and is NOT included in the standard fare). For the groups over 10 persons the head-sets are required for an additional price (usually €1,70 each for a half day, €4 for a full day).

This classic walking tour takes about 5-6 hours (including 1 hour break). During the last 2 hours of the tour we’ll visit the Uffizi gallery or Palatine gallery. Accademia gallery is also possible as a third option instead of the previous two (visit takes 1,5 hours).
