Frequently asked questions about audio tours of Florence
Is there a self-guided audio tour of Florence?
Yes. Avsha generates a personalized, self-guided audio tour of Florence on the fly — press play and it narrates a story about wherever you're standing, from Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery to a quiet corner of Oltrarno. No fixed route, no guide, and it works on any street, not just the famous ones.
What's the best free audio tour app for Florence?
Avsha is free to start (3 stories, no signup) and built for Florence: it tailors each story to your interests, travel mode and language (60+ supported), and never repeats. Unlike a fixed catalog of a few recorded stops, it can tell the story of any spot in the city.
Can I use it offline while walking around Florence?
Yes — with Trip Packs you download stories over WiFi before you go and listen anywhere in Florence, even in airplane mode or with no signal.
Do I need to book a tour or follow a set path in Florence?
No. Avsha isn't a scheduled walking tour — just open it wherever you are in Florence and press play. Wander Oltrarno, double back, or stand in front of the Duomo and it adapts to you in real time.
How much does an audio tour of Florence cost?
It's free to try. After your first few stories you can top up with an affordable credit pack or go Pro for unlimited exploring — far less than a guided Florence walking tour, and yours to use anywhere in the world.
