Your tour begins at Piazza San Marco

See David at the Accademia
Enter the Accademia Gallery with timed-entry tickets to view the massive 16th-century marble masterpiece. Learn how Michelangelo carved the impressive figure from a single block of marble while kids search for fun details on the statue.
Explore Mercato Centrale and watch papermaking
Stroll through the lively food stalls of Mercato Centrale and visit an adjacent artisan workshop to observe traditional paper crafts. You will watch local makers shape decorative patterned sheets using historic 16th-century Tuscan techniques.

Stop outside the Basilica of San Lorenzo to view the unfinished exterior planned by Michelangelo in 1516. Your guide will challenge younger travelers to bring out their inner artists and help Michelangelo finish his design.
Stroll around the iconic Duomo
Walk up to the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, towering over the city center with its famous 15th-century red dome. Admire Brunelleschi’s architectural marvel from the outside and examine the detailed stories carved into the bronze Baptistery doors.

When visiting Florence with children, gelato is a must. Make a stop at a local gelateria with your guide for a little break. While gelato isn't included in the price of the tour, it's well worth it.

We did the kid friendly walking tour of Florence with my 10 and 11 year old boys and they had a blast. Guido was the perfect guide and it was very nice to be solo and have our own schedule. He was very knowledgeable and great with kids!

We absolutely loved our tour guide, Guido! He was so full of passion for Florence and such a joy to be around. Hearing his excitement about everything made us even more excited and engaged throughout the tour. We were pretty tired at the start, but Guido’s energy completely brought us to life! We also loved being able to skip the lines to see David, which made the experience so much easier with kids. Our kids especially loved the paper making, the carousel, and of course the gelato. This was such a fun and kid-friendly experience, and we would strongly recommend both the tour and Guido to anyone visiting Florence!
