The price of booking private tours of Florence

If you hire a tour guide to Florence with locals, the price is 80 Eur/hour*. (To the price for the guide, you must add the cost of tickets (per person).)

The advantage being this is a fixed price for up to 6 participants. It can be expensive for a couple or a small family of 3. Still, for 4-5 persons, the tour will cost like a group tour, with the significant advantage of being private, while for parties of more than 5, it even becomes less expensive than a group tour.

We also serve large private groups: if you are visiting Florence for a party of 9 or more, we will organize a personal experience that will cost you (per person) less than a group tour with other people. How? Let’s discover our secret.

Fair prices

At Florence with Locals, we believe in offering fair prices for our tours – and we achieve this by cutting out the middleman. You see, the tourism industry is filled with wholesalers, mediators, and retailers, who all take a cut of the revenue. Unfortunately, this often means that guides are underpaid, and the final price for the customer is much higher than it needs to be.

By booking a tour of Florence with us, you’ll be paying your guide directly. There are no middlemen or hidden fees – just a direct transaction from the tour provider to you, the customer.

Regarding city tours, the guide is the most crucial factor in making your experience exceptional. Agencies that organize tours often need to improve their role, especially regarding walking tours with museum admissions. The truth is, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to do a good job – what you need is a friendly, knowledgeable guide. And that’s precisely what you’ll get when you book with us.

Our Florence guides have a wealth of knowledge and creativity. If unexpected circumstances arise during your tour, they can always find enjoyable alternatives to ensure your day is well-spent. Florence is a treasure trove of breathtaking sights and engaging activities, and with a private guide, you’ll always have exciting options to explore.

While hiring a private guide may seem expensive, their expertise is worth every penny. Alternatively, if you choose a group tour and an issue arises, it may result in the time being cancelled. Although you’ll receive a refund, you’ll also lose a day of your precious holiday.

Thank you for considering us! We would love the opportunity to show you the best of Florence.
