Private Tours In Florence Italy in Six Decisions
Six choices settle any private tour here, from picking the guide to knowing what to pack.
-
Which tour
Start with walks from $50 per person, museum visits with the ticket in the price, or rides and day trips by private car. The cheapest entry is a custom walk, the priciest a per-group Cinque Terre day. Every listing is a private guide or vehicle for your party only.
PRICE RANGE: $50 TO $893 PER GROUP
-
When to go
Late September through October brings average highs in the low 70s Fahrenheit and thinner crowds. April and early May work too, with the Iris garden in bloom. Book museum slots ahead whatever the month.
BEST WINDOW: LATE SEPTEMBER TO OCTOBER
-
How long to stay
Plan for 3 days in Florence, or 4 if the city is your whole trip. Two very busy days cover the highlights, and one day works only with reservations booked ahead.
IDEAL STAY: 3 DAYS
-
How to get there
The high-speed train is the quick answer from Rome, with about 61 trains a day on the 261 km run. Italo covers it in 1 hour and 25 minutes. You step off at Santa Maria Novella, right in the centre.
TRAIN TIME: 1 HOUR 25 MINUTES
-
What it costs
The cathedral church, Piazzale Michelangelo and Ponte Vecchio cost nothing, and paid entry runs from a 2 EUR reduced Uffizi ticket to an 18 EUR Palazzo Vecchio ticket. A private guide starts at $50 per person. Free sights keep a day cheap even with tours on top.
PRIVATE GUIDES FROM: $50 PER PERSON
-
Who it suits and what to pack
Florence works for families at almost any age, and the main sights sit within a 30 to 40 minute walking radius. Pack light natural fabrics for summer heat that can reach 38-40 Celsius, flat shoes for the stone streets, and a scarf for churches. Covered shoulders and knees are the rule.
SIGHTS RADIUS: 30 TO 40 MINUTES ON FOOT

Private Walking Tours of Florence
A private walk puts a guide at your side through the centre for your party only. None of the three puts a museum ticket in the price, and each suits a different traveller.
Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide
Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide is the lowest-priced walk at $50 per person, rated 4.6 from 158 reviews. Guydeez builds the route with you: the guide makes contact in advance and shapes a walk that lasts 2 to 8 hours. The guide meets you at your hotel if it sits in the city. Food and drinks are not included.
What is missing matters. Museum tickets are not included, tickets to any attractions are an exclusion, and no car transport is provided. If you want to go inside a museum, arrange it with the operator in advance. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before the walk.
Private 3-Hour Florence Walking Tour
Private 3-Hour Florence Walking Tour by Irina in Florence costs $213.81 per person and holds a 5 rating from 240 reviews, the longest reviews list of the three. The licensed guide leads 3 hours from the facade of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella through the historic centre, covering streets tied to Dante, the story of Michelangelo's David and how Brunelleschi built the dome.
Free entrance to the Pharmacy of Santa Maria Novella is in the price. No museum tickets are, so the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio stay outside visits. The route is fully wheelchair accessible and prams and service animals are welcome.
Private Landmarks Walking Tour
Private Landmarks Walking Tour from ACCORD Italy Smart Tours costs $105 per person for 2 hours, rated 4.6 from 302 reviews. A certified guide leads on foot from Piazza di Madonna degli Aldobrandini 8 past twelve stops, each about 10 minutes: the Medici Chapel, the Uffizi Gallery, Piazza della Repubblica, the Ponte Vecchio, the Palazzo Vecchio, the Bargello, Piazza della Signoria, the Neptune Fountain, the Duomo Complex, Via de' Tornabuoni, the Pitti Palace and Piazza Pitti.
Because every visit is exterior only, no tickets are needed, and earphones keep the guide audible. Pickup comes within a 15-minute walk of the start, but drop-off is excluded.
Private Uffizi, Accademia and Duomo Tours
Three tours carry a museum ticket in the price. One rule decides the day: the Uffizi is closed on Mondays.
The Uffizi Gallery
Private Uffizi Gallery Tour from Florence Tours by Made of Tuscany runs 3 hours at $280 per person, rated 4.9 from 76 reviews. The guide meets the group at the Neptune fountain on Piazza della Signoria, walks the square and the Loggia dei Lanzi for 15 minutes, then spends 2.75 hours inside the Uffizi with a skip-the-line ticket in the price, ending at the Ponte Vecchio. Hotel pickup and drop-off are excluded.
The Gallerie degli Uffizi lists the museum open Tuesday to Sunday, 8.15 am to 6.30 pm, with the ticket office closing at 5.30 pm. Entry is free on the first Sunday of the month, and on those days no advance booking is possible. Groups over 6 must use headphones, and groups are capped at 16 people including the guide.
Michelangelo's David at the Accademia
Private David and Accademia Gallery Tour by Irina in Florence costs $120.41 per person for a single hour, rated 5 from 245 reviews. The guide meets travellers at the gallery entrance in Via Ricasoli across number 58, hands over direct entry tickets on the spot, and the Accademia Gallery ticket and headsets are both in the price.
Bring identity: every traveller must show a valid passport or ID matching the booking name, and the voucher with all full names must be shown at the ticket office or entry may be denied. The hour covers Michelangelo's David and the unfinished Prisoners sculptures.
The Duomo Complex
Private Duomo Complex Tour costs $170.23 per person for 2 hours, rated 5 from 43 reviews. The licensed guide meets the group in Piazza San Giovanni at the Gates of Paradise of the Baptistery, then covers the Cathedral, Cathedral Square, the Baptistery and the Duomo Museum. Headsets and the Ghiberti pass, covering the Baptistery, the Duomo Museum and the Santa Reparata crypt, are all in the price.
The climbs are not. Going up Brunelleschi's dome or Giotto's bell tower needs a separate special pass bought on top, so plan that before the day if the view is the point.
The Vasari Corridor
The Vasari Corridor has reopened after closing in 2016. Entry runs only with a special ticket and a mandatory reservation, through the Gallerie degli Uffizi, over the Ponte Vecchio and out at the Boboli Gardens. The Gallerie degli Uffizi lists the corridor Tuesday to Sunday, first group at 10.15 am, and you enter the Uffizi two hours before your Corridor slot.
None of the tours on this site includes the corridor. The combined Uffizi plus Vasari Corridor ticket is $47.65 (€43) on the day and $52.08 (€47) in advance, so book it separately alongside any tour.

Golf Cart, Vintage Fiat 500 and Vespa Sidecar Tours
Three rides cover the hills above the city without the climb. The golf cart is the cheapest and most reviewed, the Fiat 500 can stretch to Fiesole, and the Vespa sidecar is the only one priced per group.
Private Panoramic Golf Cart Tour
Private Panoramic Golf Cart Tour from Velotourflorence costs $72 per person for 1.5 hours, rated 5 from 689 reviews, the largest reviews count on this site. A private electric golf cart with a local guide as driver starts and ends at Piazza Goldoni, runs the Arno past Piazza Ognissanti and the Ponte Vecchio, then climbs to Piazza Tasso, the Medicean Villa of Poggio Imperiale, Arcetri, San Miniato al Monte and Piazzale Michelangelo before descending past Porta San Niccolò.
No tickets are needed. Downtown stops can be swapped for panoramic ones because vehicle access to the centre is restricted.
Private Vintage Fiat 500 City Tour
Private Vintage Fiat 500 City Tour by FPT SRL costs $161 per person for 1.5 to 3 hours, rated 4.9 from 97 reviews. You ride a vintage electric Fiat 500 cabrio with a driver-guide, starting from one of 5 pickup points across the city. The stops run Piazzale Michelangelo for 30 minutes, San Miniato al Monte for 40 minutes and Arcetri for 20 minutes, and the 3-hour version adds the hilltop town of Fiesole.
Bottled water and photos at every viewpoint are in the price, and children under 3 are not accepted.
Private Vespa Sidecar Tour
Private Vespa Sidecar Tour from Vespa sidecar Florence costs $395.10 per group for 1.5 hours, rated 5 from 34 reviews. That group price covers two riders, one in the sidecar and one behind the driver, with helmets, insurance and hotel pickup and drop-off in Florence included. The driver carries you to panoramic stops such as Piazzale Michelangelo, the San Miniato church or Fiesole.
Children must be at least 6 years old, and the sidecar and rear saddle each hold up to 110 kg. Food, drinks and tips are excluded.
The Rides Side by Side
The table compares the three rides on length, price and unit, start point or pickup, and rating, using the figures from each listing. The golf cart costs $72 per person, the Fiat 500 $161 per person and the Vespa sidecar $395.10 per group for two riders. Remember the final price shows for your party size at checkout.
| Ride | Length | Price | Start | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private Panoramic Golf Cart Tour | 1.5 hours | $72 per person | Piazza Goldoni | 5 from 689 reviews |
| Private Vintage Fiat 500 City Tour | 1.5-3 hours | $161 per person | One of 5 pickup points | 4.9 from 97 reviews |
| Private Vespa Sidecar Tour | 1.5 hours | $395.10 per group | Your hotel in Florence | 5 from 34 reviews |
When a Ride Beats a Walk
The climbs to Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato al Monte take a real toll on foot in summer heat. Every ride here reach both viewpoints without it. Pick the golf cart for the lowest cost per person and the biggest reviews base, the Fiat 500 for the Fiesole option on the 3-hour version, and the sidecar for the hotel door pickup and the open-air ride itself.
Private Food Tours and Cooking Classes in Florence
Two private cooking classes and one tasting walk, from $54 per person to $285 per person.
Private Tuscan Cooking Class in a Countryside Home
Traveling Spoon sells the 3-hour class (see the card) with Maria, a retired Italian host, at $285 per person, rated 5 from 173 reviews. Up to 6 guests meet at Forno Sale Grosso in central Florence and ride about 10 km, roughly 15 minutes each way, in Maria's car to her countryside home near Pratolino. She teaches two to three traditional Tuscan dishes with a choice of pasta sauces, then everyone eats the meal with local Italian wine.
A San Lorenzo market add-on is possible, though markets close on Sundays and public holidays. Groups of 7 or more meet near her home instead.
Private Home Cooking Class with Pasta and Tiramisu
RAYAN TRAaVEL AGENCY runs the 2.5-hour class (see the card) at $54 per person, the lowest food price here, rated 5 from 37 reviews. A local Italian host welcomes your party into a private home or your own accommodation and guides you through fresh pasta such as tagliatelle or pappardelle, then tiramisu. Italian wine is poured throughout and the class ends with everyone eating what they cooked.
Instruction is in English, Italian or French. It is the cheapest private experience on this page and suits families and short stays.
Private Florence Food and Wine Tour
Christy hosts the 3-hour walking tour (see the card) at $160.07 per person, rated 5 from 71 reviews. The group meets on the steps of the Chiesa di Sant'Ambrogio and starts with Italian coffee culture. The route covers the Sant'Ambrogio market, then 5-6 stops at family-owned shops for Florentine street food, Tuscan sweets, olive oil, meats, cheeses, truffle, aged balsamic and wine, ending with gelato.
There are 10 tastings in total and no transport is included, so wear comfortable shoes for the walking between stops.
Plan Your Trip
Do Private Tours in Florence Include Museum Tickets?
Only the three museum tours on this site put the ticket inside the price. The walking tours do not, so the difference decides what a booking really costs.
Ticket In or Out, Tour by Tour
This table compares the three walking tours and the three museum tours by price, whether the museum entry sits in the price, and whether pickup is part of the deal. All figures come from the tour listings themselves.
The three museum tours are the exception: the Accademia tour ($120.41 per person), the Uffizi tour ($280 per person) and the Duomo tour ($170.23 per person) all carry entry in the price. On the Duomo tour the Ghiberti pass covers the Baptistery, the Duomo Museum and the Santa Reparata crypt, but not the dome or bell tower climb. On the walking tours, tickets to any attractions are an exclusion, and on the custom walk a museum visit inside has to be arranged with the operator in advance.
Every final price depends on the party size chosen at checkout.
| Tour | Price | Museum ticket | Pickup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide | $50 per person | Not included | At your hotel in the city |
| Private 3-Hour Florence Walking Tour | $213.81 per person | Not included | None, starts at Santa Maria Novella |
| Private Landmarks Walking Tour | $105 per person | Not needed, exteriors only | Within a 15-minute walk of the start |
| Private David and Accademia Gallery Tour | $120.41 per person | Accademia ticket included | None, meets at the gallery entrance |
| Private Uffizi Gallery Tour | $280 per person | Skip-the-line Uffizi ticket included | None |
| Private Duomo Complex Tour | $170.23 per person | Ghiberti pass included, no dome or bell tower | None, meets at Piazza San Giovanni |
What a Museum Ticket Costs on Its Own
The Gallerie degli Uffizi lists the single Uffizi ticket at $27.70 (€25) bought on the day of entry and $32.13 (€29) bought before the date. Children under 18 of any nationality enter free. The Uffizi plus Vasari Corridor ticket is $47.65 (€43) on the day and $52.08 (€47) in advance. Musei Civici Fiorentini lists the Palazzo Vecchio museum at $19.95 (€18) full price, and the 5-day PassePartout for the Uffizi, Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens at $44.32 (€40). An Accademia or Duomo ticket price is not stated here.
Read the table against the tour prices above: the Uffizi tour at $280 per person carries a ticket worth $27.70 (€25) on the day, so most of that price pays for the guide.
| Ticket | On the day | In advance |
|---|---|---|
| Uffizi single ticket | $27.70 (€25) | $32.13 (€29) |
| Uffizi plus Vasari Corridor | $47.65 (€43) | $52.08 (€47) |
| Palazzo Vecchio museum | $19.95 (€18) | not stated |
| 5-day PassePartout, Uffizi, Pitti and Boboli | $44.32 (€40) | not stated |

Either way, the price on the listing is a starting point. The final price shows for your party size at checkout, so check it there before you compare.

Private or Small Group?
Going private changes four things. The guide works for your party only, so the pace and the route follow you. Some tours add pickup, like the Vespa sidecar ride from your hotel or the Chianti tour with hotel pickup. You choose the date and the start rather than joining a fixed slot. And nobody outside your group hears the guide.
One museum rule favours small parties. The Gallerie degli Uffizi states that groups over 6 people must use headphones inside the Uffizi, groups are capped at 16 including the guide, and groups of 11 or more pay an extra $77.57 (€70). A private party of 6 or fewer stays under those thresholds and hears the guide directly.

The tour hit all the highlights of the museum. The guide's explanation and interpretation of the painting was extremely informative. He pointed out different subtilties in the paintings, things we would have never noticed.

Marcello was wonderful. What he lacked in command over the English language, he made up with his expression and enthusiasm. Very friendly and gave us time to enjoy the views and helped us with photos.

Dos and Don'ts on a Private Tour in Florence
The museum ticket is in the price on the Accademia, Uffizi and Duomo tours and out of it on the walks, so read what each price covers before you compare.
Do
- Do check whether the museum ticket is inside the price before you compare tours, because the Accademia, Uffizi and Duomo tours include their tickets and the walking tours include none.
- Do book the Uffizi for Tuesday to Sunday, because the Gallerie degli Uffizi lists opening hours of 8.15 am to 6.30 pm on those days only.
- Do check whether a price is per person or per group before you compare, because the Vespa sidecar at $395.10 and the Cinque Terre day at $893 are priced for the whole party.
- Do choose a Duomo tour knowing the dome climb is separate, because the Ghiberti pass in the Duomo Complex Tour covers the Baptistery, the museum and the crypt only.
Don't
- Don't plan the Uffizi on a Monday, because the Gallerie degli Uffizi lists the museum as closed on Mondays.
- Don't expect a guide inside the towns on the chauffeur day, because the exclusions on the Chauffeur Tuscany Day Trip name no tour guide and church and museum fees are extra.
- Don't count on lunch on the Cinque Terre day, because lunch is excluded from the Cinque Terre and Pisa trip even though train and ferry tickets are included.
- Don't book the first Sunday of the month expecting a reserved Uffizi slot, because entry is free those days and the Gallerie degli Uffizi states tickets cannot be booked in advance.
Private Day Trips from Florence
Siena, San Gimignano, Chianti, Pisa and the Cinque Terre by private car or minivan, from 8 to 11 hours.
Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti
Two private days cover this classic Tuscan route. UNIQUETUSCANY private tours runs an 8-9 hour day in an air-conditioned minivan for up to 6 travelers, your party only. An English-speaking licensed driver picks up at your Downtown Florence hotel, with Wi-Fi, unlimited cold water and free time in Siena and San Gimignano, plus the fortress of Monteriggioni unless you take the winery lunch. The price is $383.81 per person, rated 5 from 271 reviews. An optional winery lunch is sold on request.
Ciaoflorence Tours & Travel sells an 8-hour chauffeur day at $438 per person, rated 5 from 22 reviews. The chauffeur drives to Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti with hotel pickup, bottled water and Wi-Fi. The exclusions list names no tour guide, and church and museum entry fees are not included, so expect a driver rather than a walking guide in the towns.
Florence to the Cinque Terre with Pisa
TUSCANSFARI SRL runs an 11-hour private day at $893 per group, rated 4.9 from 186 reviews. A private driver-guide takes the group through Tuscany to Manarola for a guided walk, then a 15-minute shared ferry to Vernazza with 2 hours for shopping and a food market, a short train to Corniglia for a 30-minute visit, and a 50-minute stop at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Train and ferry tickets between the villages are in the price, but lunch is excluded, so bring money or a picnic for Vernazza.
If you want to walk the coastal path between the villages, the Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre sells a 1-day adult Trekking Card at $11.08 (€10), rising to $16.62 (€15) in high-demand periods. That card is separate from the tour price.
