Short answer: for the lowest price, take the 1-hour Duomo tour at EUR 16.23, the lowest guided price we read. For David, the Accademia tour for up to 19 showed EUR 38.59 with entry for its earliest date, 1 November, EUR 18.59 above the museum’s EUR 20 ticket. For the Uffizi, a guide on the free first Sunday costs from EUR 40.62. Rule: on KKday a “from” price can belong to one date or one option, so open the option you want before you compare. No price we read carries a per-person label.

We read 10 KKday product pages and 2 museum ticket pages on 2026-10-23 and took a screenshot of each. Half the tours are museum tours, so we set them next to the museums’ own ticket prices.

The cheapest tour: one hour inside the Duomo

The KKday Duomo Cathedral tour is the lowest “from” price we read, EUR 16.23 for 1 hour with a guide inside Florence Cathedral. Its address is Piazza del Capitolo, and its directions point to the bell-tower side of the cathedral. Its page lists a dome climb among its terms but does not say it is in the price, so plan the dome as a separate ticket.

The button below is an affiliate link. The price on the card is the one we read on the listing.

We did not read the cathedral’s own ticket page: it did not load in our browser. So this page cannot say what part of EUR 16.23 is the guide.

What does a guide cost on top of the museum ticket?

At the Accademia, the guide costs EUR 18.59 to EUR 46.61 above the EUR 20 ticket, on the options we could price. One page puts its own ticket at EUR 24 inside the price. At the Uffizi, the private tour costs EUR 227.42 above the EUR 29 ticket bought ahead, and its page does not say if that is per person. On the first Sunday of each month Uffizi entry is free, says the museum, so a tour that day prices the guide alone.

Museum Official ticket, EUR Tour and option we priced Tour, EUR Price minus ticket, EUR
Accademia (David) 20 Accademia ticket and David tour, group of up to 19 38.59 18.59
Accademia (David) 24 named on the tour page Accademia tour with local guide 49 25

Uffizi 0 on the first Sunday Uffizi free museum day tour 40.62 40.62
Uffizi 29 bought ahead Uffizi private tour 256.42 227.42

Official prices are the regular adult price on each museum’s own page, read 2026-10-23: for the Uffizi, the ticket bought ahead. The Accademia page also names a EUR 4 booking fee, and the local-guide tour page lists its adult ticket at EUR 24. The Uffizi sells the same single ticket for EUR 25 on the day of the visit. The Accademia lists EUR 2 for EU citizens aged 18 to 25, and entry is free under 18.

Accademia and David: which guided tour?

Take the Accademia ticket and David tour for up to 19 when price decides: EUR 38.59 with entry and a guide listed, shown for its earliest date, 1 November, 1 hour, free cancellation until 3 days before. Its page shows EUR 20.31 only for the group of up to 10 on 1 November, a first Sunday. The tour with a local guide costs EUR 49 and cannot be cancelled once booked. The tour with a walk costs EUR 66.61 in its walking option.

Uffizi: first-Sunday group tour or private tour?

Choose the first-Sunday tour to pay for a guide only: from EUR 40.62, and EUR 45.7 for the English option we opened. The Accademia-and-walk tour page says first-Sunday tickets cannot be booked ahead, so entry is not guaranteed. Choose the private tour for any other day: EUR 256.42 for 3 hours, with Piazza della Signoria and the Loggia dei Lanzi first and Ponte Vecchio at the end. Both allow free cancellation until 3 days before.

Free walking tours

One of the top search results for Florence tours is a free walking tour site. We read none of its tours, so they have no row and no card here.

A cooking class with a market visit

The cooking class lists a “from” price of EUR 79.2, but every date in the October calendar on the page, 26 to 31 October, showed from EUR 139. It runs 5 hours and starts at the Towns of Italy Cooking School on Via Panicale: the Central Market for ingredients, then the kitchen, and the meal you cook, with Chianti wine listed. Free cancellation runs until 2 days before.

What this page could not check

  • Most prices are the page’s “from” price. Where we opened an option or a date, the page names that price. Other options and dates can cost more.
  • We did not see a per-person label on any price. Most pages default to one adult.
  • The KKday pages list what is and is not in the price in one list. We only read the ticks for the Accademia ticket and David tour, so the other cards name the route.
  • We left out a Duomo complex tour with an audio-only option. Its “from” price was EUR 5.08, which we read as its audio-app option with no guide.
  • Our Klook search returned no product links, so we compared KKday only.
  • Prices can change after 2026-10-23.

More for an Italy trip

For a day outside the city, see the day trips from Florence to Cinque Terre, Siena and Chianti. In Rome we compared Rome tours by type, Rome food tours and day trips from Rome. In Paris we asked the same question for the Louvre tours: what a guide adds to the ticket. All sources are on the sources page, and how we score and price explains the method.

How we made this page

We open each KKday product page in a browser, read the price, the hours, the route and the cancellation rule, and take a screenshot of each. We read the Uffizi and Accademia ticket prices on the museums' own pages the same day, with screenshots. Prices are the euro figures the pages print, so no conversion applies. We do not copy seller text, we have not joined any of these tours, and we have not seen the places on them.

Research and first drafts are AI-assisted. Every figure comes from open data listed on the page with its source and date, and a person reviews each page before it goes live.
