2.Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 69 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $17Best value

Solve Medici-inspired clues, find overlooked corners, and enjoy a sweet treat on this flexible two-hour Florence walking quest.

“This experience was a lot of fun!! We went to places that we never would have on our own. The “story” was charming and clever. We learned a bit about history. The less than perfect part was that it was a bit too long and there was no way to end without abandoning it. Just as it seems to be ending there’s another clue and then another. If you want closure there is none but to push through. If you’re tired, that’s hard. But I loved the first 3/4s of it!”

The only difficulty we had is that we thought the tour would end in the San Lorenzo market. We didn't end up there, however. I asked the tour leader how to get there, and she pointed the direction out, but we ended up getting really lost. I wish she had taken us there. The tour ended early, so I am…”
