A couple of hours are enough to escape the bustle of the crowds and, through rustic alleys and gardens, get to the old city walls that will eventually lead us to the highest points in town.
In this walk you will be able to visit the best preserved church in Tuscany, and enjoy breath-taking landscapes of the whole city from the legendary Piazzale Michelangelo.
BEWARE: it's a lightly demanding walk, with a couple of hills up and down that require a bit of effort.
Places visited:
0. Sart. Piazza di Santa Felicita.
1. Galileo's house and Bardini gardens.
2. St George's gate and Belvedere Fortress.

I lead two other complementary tours in different zones and with different scopes. Take a look at them:
Renaissance Initiation tour: https://www.guruwalk.com/walks/5551-120-min-renaissance-initiation-walking-tour
High fashion, history and bohemian life: https://www.guruwalk.com/walks/6911-high-fashion-history-and-bohemian-life-in-florence
50 m south of Ponte Vecchio, by the column at the square.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
