FAQ About the Florence Tour for Kids
My children are in their early to mid-teens. Is this walk appropriate for them? Our family tours are primarily designed for children under the age of 13, and this one, in particular, is ideal for young kids. For teens we would recommend our private adult Introduction To Florence: With Accademia And Michelangelo's David tour, the content can be adapted to an age-appropriate level.
Will this tour be engaging for parents as well? Our guide will be able to answer the client’s questions but the overall focus will be geared toward children.
Do we go inside the Duomo or just see it from the outside? All venues are seen from the exterior only on this tour.
