Group, audio or story
Four of the six are a classic Florence guided walking tour: a guide talks, the group listens. The highlights walk keeps it to 90 minutes and names a small group; the $73 walk names three stops; the squares walk ends at the Ponte Vecchio. Which is the Florence city walking tour for you depends on time more than route.
The $16 walk works differently: a host leads, and you hear the commentary through a multilanguage audio system, which helps if your group does not share a language. The Inferno walk is a theme tour: it follows Robert Langdon through the places in the novel, and its 4.3 rating is the lowest of the six.
