Florence Sightseeing Tour with a Hungarian-Speaking Guide

Preview

You are surely coming to Florence to discover the history of this beautiful city, its legends, its heroes and those who lost their battles along the way. You want to see the Ponte Vecchio – the Old Bridge – with your own eyes and rub the nose of the Wild Boar, hoping it will bring you good luck.
You have come to admire the Medici family’s Renaissance palace and Piazza della Signoria, which has always been the political heart of the city, together with Palazzo Vecchio, Florence’s Town Hall. You are probably curious about the Basilica of Santa Croce too, where some of Italy’s most famous figures are buried, and about the square where the historic Florentine football matches are still held.
The Uffizi Gallery awaits visitors with its secret corridor and world-famous paintings by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Caravaggio and Botticelli. The dome of Florence Cathedral, designed by Brunelleschi, is the symbol of the city, and the story behind its construction is truly fascinating. The name of Dante Alighieri is inseparable from Florence: the poet and politician left an enormous legacy not only to the city, but to the whole of Italy.
These are the stories I will share with you during our sightseeing walk, bringing the walls of Florence to life. After all, they have witnessed so much over the centuries – and they too have plenty of stories to tell.
Join me and discover a side of Florence that you will not find in guidebooks.

Duration: 3, 4 or 6 hours
The walking tour takes in Florence’s most important sights. I recommend it for those who would like to get to know the city but have limited time, or who would like an introduction before exploring Florence further on their own.

The Florence sightseeing tour can also be a full-day experience lasting 6 hours, with an optional lunch break. In this case, in addition to the walking tour, we can visit a museum, church, garden or artisan workshop of your choice, depending on your interests.
If you would like to discover Florence in greater depth and experience different sides of the city, I recommend this option.

For further details, please contact me.

Review

Thank You So Much for the Experience!
“Eszter gave our group a wonderful afternoon in Florence. She took us to places the average tourist would never discover, while entertaining us with colourful stories and Florentine legends along the way. You can really feel that she does all this with genuine joy and a true passion for the city and its history. Thank you so much for the experience! I recommend her to everyone visiting Florence.”

…Look for Kiss Eszter!
“Eszter is a very kind, attentive and extremely knowledgeable tour guide who is completely at home in Italian and Tuscan culture. We enjoyed every minute of the time we spent with her.
Instead of simply overwhelming us with facts, she shared useful information through fascinating stories and plenty of humour. My conclusion is that when you choose a historic city such as Florence as a destination for a day or even several days, it is definitely worth booking a guided tour.
You will learn so many valuable and interesting things about places such as the Uffizi, Florence’s noble families, its churches and countless other subjects – things you would certainly miss while simply wandering around on your own.
So if you are planning a cultural trip to Florence with museum visits and would like to immerse yourself in its history, make sure you look for Kiss Eszter!”

The Perfect First Date
“My husband and I received a personalised guided experience from Eszter that became one of the highlights of our holiday. At the Uffizi Gallery, her carefully selected works gave us a wonderful overview of the collection.
We also had the chance to step inside the tiny workshops of local artisans, admire their masterpieces and learn about their techniques. We tasted delicious Italian street food, and thanks to Eszter’s guidance, we even had time to discover some of the hidden wonders of the Boboli Gardens.
A visitor could hardly wish for a more perfect first date with Florence. I will always be grateful for the experience!”

I Wholeheartedly Recommend Her!
“Whenever I walk through Florence with Eszti by my side, she always manages to show me something new. Again and again, we stop on a street corner, in a square or beside a building I had never noticed before.
‘Just let me quickly tell you this…’ she says – and before I know it, I have discovered another fascinating detail, a real hidden gem from the city’s history.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who would like to get closer to the true soul of Florence!”
