Optional guided walking tour
Historic Florence walking tour: typically 90 minutes to 2½ hours, covering the Duomo exterior, Piazza della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio. Tip-based tours usually cost approximately €10–€20 each in tips (€20–€40 for two); a fixed-price small-group tour can be around €25 each (€50 for two). These are examples, not booked departures. This would overlap much of your Monday stroll, so consider it instead of the independent walk, not as extra walking.
