Self Guided Audio Tour of Florence Medieval Sights
Are you looking for a way to explore Florence at your own pace? On this self-guided walking tour through the city‘s green quarters, we‘ll peel back its diverse layers of history as we ascend from Ponte Alle Grazie (one of the many bridges crossing the river Arno) to Basilica di San Miniato.
This Florence tour takes you through the historical and hip San Niccolò neighborhood, where you‘ll find plenty of bars and trattorias to whet your appetite. We‘ll then venture uphill through the picturesque rose garden, Giardino delle Roseto, to Piazzale Michelangelo, which boasts breathtaking panoramic city views.
