La Bussola Free Walking Tours in Florence

Truly great tour! Aida was able to cater the tour to my entire family. The adults learned a ton and my 8 year old daughter left saying it was the best few hours she spent on our vacation so far. Don’t hesitate! Book this tour!

AMAZING TOUR!!! I booked the intro to Florence tour with Aida and absolutely loved it! Full of personality and super useful information, I booked her second tour, the longer one about the Medici family immediately after I finished the first one! I would definitely recommend to anyone who has any interest in history at all! She also takes you to beautiful sites as well and has lots of useful information for tourists about authentic food spots too!

Aida is so knowledgeable and spent extra time with us answering all our questions! We loved getting to hear all of her art history knowledge before we explored the art in Florence ourselves. She also gave great tourist tips! Highly recommend taking the tour early in your trip to Florence

Aida was an unbelievable tour guide; her passion and deep knowledge made the tour so much fun. It was great learning about the history of Florence and the reasons behind the buildings, sculptures and paintings. Being on a small tour meant we could ask lots of questions. During our time in Italy, this was the best tour we completed. I would highly recommend.

Aida’s tour was fantastic. It was just a small group, which really allowed for a personal experience. We learned so much about the political history of Florence, as well as the history of the art in the area, which provided a great background as we did other activities in the city during our trip. Would absolutely recommend tours with Aida for anyone visiting Florence in the future!

Round 2 … We thoroughly enjoyed another one of Aida’s tours, the Medici and Michelangelo Tour. Her breadth and depth of knowledge is stunning. More amazing is her ability to deliver it to us in a clear, concise, and instructive manner. She is articulate, thoughtful, polite, and appropriately assertive when need be. We highly recommend her Introduction to Florence tour first. There is very little overlap in the two tours, and she takes you on a more in-depth journey for the second tour. Totally worth it. And, another must do. Kudos.

Aida is an outstanding guide to Florence. We did two tours and enjoyed both hugely. Her deep knowledge and ability to explain history are terrific. Top class

I had a fantastic time at this tour with Aida! I went to both her introduction to Florence tour in the evening and Medici and Michelangelo tour. Aida is so knowledgeable and an amazing story teller. I learned and saw so much - there was never a boring moment. I highly recommend going to both of her tours because there are some stories and sites across the two tours that are connected. The 2 tours are also in separate parts of Florence so the tour is not repetitive. I cannot recommend these tours more!

Highly recommend! Aida our guide, with her knowledge of Florence and history of art degree provided our small group with a wealth of information that was easy to take on board.

We did both the introductory and the Medici Tour with Aida and were very impressed. As a guide Aida has considerable knowledge of Florence as well as (art) history and manages to put it all together in an entertaining yet never shallow manner (for people with some background knowledge and an interest in history). Participating in these tours gifted us with an incredibly rich view of the city and its past that shaped how we looked at everything else during the rest of our vacation.

We loved our tour in Florence about the Renaissance!!! This was mostly thanks to our amazing guide, Aida. She was super knowledgeable but also made everything really interesting and easy to follow (even for someone like me who barely remembers high school history). She had this great way of telling stories that made the art and architecture come alive, and you could tell she genuinely loves what she does. Plus, she was just a lovely person to spend a couple of hours with — friendly, funny, and full of good vibes. Can’t recommend it enough if you want to learn a ton and have a great time doing it!

We had an amazing experience with the Free Walking Tour of Florence! We joined both the Medici Tour and the Florence Basics evening Tour, and they were absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Aida, was exceptional—she had a wealth of knowledge about the city’s history, art, and architecture, but what truly stood out was how structured and engaging her storytelling was. She made complex historical events easy to follow and remember, ensuring that we left with a much deeper appreciation of Florence.

The tours were well-paced, and the information was presented in a way that was both accessible and captivating. It felt like we weren’t just learning facts, but truly understanding the essence of Florence and its incredible history. If you’re visiting the city,
I highly recommend these tours with Aida !

Aida was a fantastic walking tour guide! Her deep knowledge of the city's history and culture made every stop along the way fascinating. She shared engaging stories, fun facts, and excellent recommendations for places to eat, from local favorites to hidden gems. Her passion for the city was contagious, making the tour both educational and entertaining. Overall, one of the best tours I’ve ever done—highly recommended!

Our walking tour of Renaissance Florence with Aida was so informative. It was great learning about the historical sights in Florence and the progression and differences from Medieval to Renaissance to Baroque in the art and architecture of the city. It was really great being on a small tour where you had the chance to ask questions and be able to hear everything Aida had to share from her extensive knowledge of Florence.

My friend and I had a wonderful tour with Aida. We learned so much about the history and development of Florence in a short period of time. We particularly appreciated her knowledge of art history. She brought the city alive for us. I highly recommend taking a La Bussola walking tour - all their guides have been great but Aida really stood out.
