[@TheTourGuyVids]

Does anyone love Florence more than us? Prove it! Let us know what restaurants, bars, and hotels you loved. More unique the better!

[@shankpeterman]

Locale Firenze may be one of the best bars in the world. Don't sleep on it. Also Rasputin, if you can find it!

[@amt17]

Last time in Florence, we stayed in San Frediano and loved the area. Had a couple super simple but delicious meals at Trattoria Sabatino. Wish I was there now!

I love Florence. I took your tour of the Uffizi and walking tour of Florence w/statue of David. Your guide was fantastic. Even though I had been to Florence many times, I learned so much from the tour guide. I Highly recommend taking tours with the Tour Guy. You will not be disappointed.

Delightful dinners at L'Osteria do Giovanni. And IL Latini. Stayed at AM Collection , great location, very nice guys run it.

I spent the month of April this year in an AirBnB apartment on via Castello d'Altafronte, two blocks from the Uffizi gallery and one block from the Arno river. (My daughter was in Florence for a college semester abroad and I was fortunate to be able to work remotely for some of the time.) The location was absolutely perfect, literally everything was 15 minutes away or less. It was also very convenient to go across the river to the Oltrano area and the Michelangelo park with the incredible views of the city. A nice 2 BR apt cost me something like 2500 Euros. If you are planning to stay in Florence for more than a week I would definitely investigate AirBnB, there are some incredible values there. Great video, thanks for posting!

What an amazing walking city! Great video Sean! We just returned and could feel the community welcome us!

[@rolandsoderlund1948]

I love the Santo Spirito area. The best hotel we’ve found is just a couple of minutes away on foot. We stay as it is easy accessed by car, Horto Convento Hotel.

[@kimberlyr9145]

I love staying at Antica Torre do Via Tornabuoni. Beautiful views of the Arno, amazing breakfast and great location. This is a high end shopper’s dream location.

[@Mickeyness93]

Great advice! Last time I stayed all the way by the stadium and it was so inconvenient. Definitely going to stay near Piazza Santa Croce next time! My favorite square in the city!

[@1961misut]

We’re going to be back in Florence in three weeks! My favorite city by far. Historic sites, beautiful city, fantastic food options, and very friendly people. Must do’s climb the Duomo, sunset at plazzalee Michael Angelo, the central market, gelato, gusta pizza. I love Oltarno, less crowded many airbandb there! You will be amazed at how much you will see in a day!

[@danielt1739]

Where did you stay there?

Excellent guide to Florence!!

[@TheTourGuyVids]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@brandonshaw2939]

I love Santa Croce church! You can literally hang out with the greatest Florentines every like Dante and Michelangelo!

[@annsilver6757]

And Machiavelli! Aaaaaaamazin!

[@annsilver6757]

Don’t forget the school for leather is next to the church!!!! Best place to by leather goods!

[@michaelwells7549]

We were in Florence October 2021 and stayed at Palazzo Gaddi, near il mercato centrale. The staff was amazing, we needed covid tests to return to the US and the staff made the appointments for us, helped us interpret the results and print them out for us. The hotel had an amazing rooftop lounge with a direct view of the Duomo. The hotel alone would have been amazing but the staff made it even more of an incredible stay. Restaurants all around and only a 4 block walk to the Duomo.

[@TheTourGuyVids]

That’s great to hear. Thanks

[@mariposa1933]

Yes! 🙌🙌 Booked our Airbnb in the best neighborhood by accident! Thank you! It’s 2022 and we are about to hit up Italy in October. So this is super helpful with food as well!! Love your channel!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@TheTourGuyVids]

Happy travels. See you in Rome!

[@jaelcaballero5212]

What neighborhood did you stay in?

[@Iretile]

Stayed at the Hugo boutique hotel… fantastic stay.. 5 mins walk to the Uffizi. 8 minutes to the duomo. Love Florence!

[@annsilver6757]

Hotel Lucchesi on the Arno! Recommended by THE TOUR GUY AND gorgeous!

[@Mallorca1005]

Heading to Florence and also love staying in the Oltrano, Santo Spirito neighborhood. We’re staying at Horto Convento. Any hotel in this area you also like? Lots of terrific restaurants and shops.

I loved Florence - my grandmother would go on business each year. She'd bring back items from there for our xmas gifts. We stayed at a hotel with a rooftop terrace that overlooked the city. We ate lunch up in the hills outside of Florence. They had red and white checked tablecloths can't recall the name of the restaurant.

[@reneefinelli923]

What a cool video. Looking forward to planning a trip!

[@larry2436]

So informative. great video.

[@Denise_Genea]

So many things to see in Florence ✨

[@betsyrb2275]

Locanda Orchidea has very clean spacious rooms with huge ensuite modern bathrooms very near Piazza Signoria. Very convenient location. You must try Del Fagioli for their bistecca fiorentina.

[@fabriziocesaroni]

very good video, it makes me wanna go to Florence right now!

[@TheTourGuyVids]

As you should!

[@olauda]

I'll be in Florence in October as apart of my first trip to Europe, staying in Rome for 2 weeks so planning on taking train to Florence one morning then staying overnight so I'll have roughly two days there to see as much as I can!

[@TheTourGuyVids]

Cool! Here is how to get around Italy by train: instagram.com/reel/Ce1Mfg3jbV3/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

[@annedon776]

Highly recommend the Grand Hotel Baglioni especially if you are taking the train into Florence. Have stayed there 4 times, great location, beautiful hotel and located near everything! Hotel is super helpful too!

[@TheTourGuyVids]

Great recommend. Thank you

[@TravelAmbassador]

Palazzo Peruzzi is where I stay too. Santa Croce for life homie!!!

[@o2setup]

I'm going with my daughter in 40 days ( yes I'm counting down lol ) I'm fortunate to have relatives there that I can't wait to see.

Pandini Palace ! Insanely best hotel in Florence !

[@dcm703]

Thought the daVinci museum was a sleeper option. Didn’t appear on any lists we looked at but was a really good time and more importantly when you are talking about museums in Florence it was NOT CROWDED. Favorite meal was probably the pizza and glass of wine upstairs at the market.

[@shahbahreyni603]

what's the best 5 star hotel to stay at in florence that's near everything?

[@TheTourGuyVids]

Here are some options: thetourguy.com/travel-blog/italy/florence/where-to-stay-in-florence-this-year/

[@bryankuderman945]

Al'antico Vinaio panini is a must. Also, I like The Student Hotel vibe. Rooms, are ok, dormitory style

[@chasmike17]

Hellooo!!!

[@RubmaLione]

The Four Seasons Firenze is god tier. Even if you can’t afford to stay there, definitely get dinner at its Michelin-star restaurant or get lunch at the cafe outside overlooking the absolutely enormous private garden. The hotel itself is an old palazzo that was meticulously restored.

[@TheTourGuyVids]

Thank you for the recommendation!

[@ece5925]

Bruh you go to Firenze and stay at four seasons....

[@RichFinelli]

I want to go to Florence to walk and eat!

[@alvin8431]

I've been in Florence few times, and even if is not a big city I still didn't make it to visit it all!

[@crlbaquier]

What have others done give that the Firenze Card is not an option right now?

[@TheTourGuyVids]

What do you mean? I don’t understand.

[@crlbaquier]

@@TheTourGuyVids Sure. Let me fill in the gaps to my initial question. Given that the Firenze Card has been suspended for a while now due to COVID, how have others gone about scheduling and visiting key museums and cultural attractions throughout Florence? Any tips, guidance, or replacements to the experience that the Firenze Card used to provide?

[@TheTourGuyVids]

@@crlbaquier oh okay. Easy. They jump on our tours or just book tickets online. Visiting Florence has never been predicted on the Firenze card.
