About this tour
This short call helps plan a walk along the Arno through central Florence before you go. I work through the route with you on a map, flagging which stretches are worth timing around the evening light. You leave with a clear sense of where to walk and when.
We spend most of the call adjusting the route to your own schedule, since timing changes the experience considerably along the river. A short written note follows by message once we finish.
It suits anyone who wants a local's sense of timing before walking the riverside alone. It also works well before booking one of my longer video sessions there.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Florence: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
- We meet on Google Meet; the link comes with your booking. This is a planning call, not a live walk, and I answer questions as we go.

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
