Ultimate guide to bus tours in Florence

Florence is a Renaissance treasure trove for art and history lovers. Bus tours, particularly the Hop-on Hop-off tours, are a great way to visit Florence’s key sites. With the ability to hop on and off at stops of your choice, planned routes, pre-recorded commentary and scenic views, these tours are a popular choice for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers.

Tips for your Florence bus tours

  • Florence is a walkable city, but you can check off more landmarks on your itinerary by combining it with a Hop-on Hop-off bus tour. It is also a great way to rest in between long stretches yet continue touring.
  • It is always recommended to begin your day early and visit popular attractions like the Duomo or Uffizi Gallery when the crowds are smaller. Most Hop-on Hop-off bus tours begin operating by 9 am.
  • Hop-on Hop-off bus tours pass by lesser-known gems in Florence like Fiesole (to witness Etruscan ruins) and Porta Ramona (a medieval city gate adorned with frescoes). Make sure to take advantage of this.
  • The open-top decks on Hop-on Hop bus tours are great for photography and offer picturesque angles of the city’s skyline.
  • Check for any local festivals, holidays, or events that can sometimes affect traffic and bus schedules during your visit.

Frequently asked questions about Florence bus tours

Can I start the tour at any Hop-on Hop-off stop?

Are the Florence Hop-on Hop-off tours wheelchair accessible?

Most Hop-on Hop-off buses are wheelchair accessible, but it’s always a good idea to inform the tour operator of your requirements in advance.

While Hop-on Hop-off bus tours are the primary choice, you can also opt for city tours or day trips that give you a comfortable overview of Florence.

Should I purchase my tickets in advance?

You are encouraged to purchase tickets 4-6 weeks in advance. This secures your spot and can save both time and money. Keep an eye out for discounts and offers as well.
