This "talk about" tour will walk you through the city, highlighting sights and history that is often missed or passed over by the average tourist.

By purchasing this audio guide you can easily download the entire album of tracks to your MP3 player or ipod and explore the city at your own pace. There's no need to follow a group or pay outlandish prices to have someone dictate how long you can linger and enjoy the sights. The low cost of this downloadable tour, which can be shared with others in your family, ensures you have more money to spend on a wonderful Italian dinner or superb bottle of wine. We believe enjoying your time in Florence means going at your own pace, understanding the rich history behind what your looking at and saving your money for the extras that make Europe great. Be aware that while this tour takes you by the Duomo we won't actually be discussing the history of the Basilica. If you're interested our other tour of Florence, Essential Florence, does go into great detail about the Religious Center of Florence as well as Piazza Signoria, another stop on this tour. Essential Florence would be a great companion piece to this tour.
