Ciao people, welcome to Firenze and get ready to an amazing local experience!

Walking around Florence is sure to be a déjà-vu experience!

Florence is an open-air museum; walking around will be like stepping back in time to relive the rich history of ancient civilizations, whose traces of daily life can be felt in all dimensions of the city. From the Roman, medieval and barbaric ages to Renaissance times, our city boasts unique architectural beauties, ancient sculptures and extravagant tabernacles on every street corner – you’ll be surprised by the rich history behind every sculpture… these masterpieces are much more than simple decorations!

This beautiful itinerary through the historic center of Florence will help visitors understand why Florence played such a dominant role in European history and why its legacy can still be felt around the world today.

During our stroll, we will stop by main attractions in the city such as squares, palaces, courtyards, inside the main cathedral and others churches, plus a cenacolo which cares an important fresco of the Last Supper. Throughout the tour, you will hear thrilling tales of medieval life and of the wealthy Florentines families that left us the city’s rich artistic patrimony. We will follow the steps of Saint Francis to arrive to the most famous Franciscan church in the word (where Michelangelo was buried), and will cross the medieval bridge Ponte Vecchio – famous for medieval goldsmith workshops – to hear the tragic but riveting stories about the River Arno's floods that traversed the city while touching on the importance of this waterway for Tuscany’s economy.

At the Duomo, you will listen to the fascinating and mysterious tales behind the construction of this impressive monument and about the fresco cycles housed inside.

In the Political center - Piazza della Signoria - where stands Michelangelo’s David, you will hear about the exciting history behind this world-famous masterpiece and why it was the point of dispute between him and Leonardo da Vinci.

The entire itinerary will be on foot with some breaks, throughout our path we will have many places where you can sit down to listen and admire the place. You also will have a “mandatory” break to try a delicious Florentine delicacy – authentic, artisanal gelato offered by me!
