Guidekin's take

A tip based walk through the main landmarks with a certified guide: the booking fee is nominal and you pay what you think it was worth at the end.

Expect the Medici story, the art and the food tips rather than any entries, since nothing is included beyond the guide. Wheelchair accessible; 4.82 from 743 reviews at €3 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #6 of 11 in Walking & City Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
