Why book this local experience?

Ready to join a tour that will take you back in time to the beautiful Renaissance Florence? In this "passeggiata" (stroll) in the historic city center, you will get to know the two souls of Florence. On one hand, you will learn about the history of the great Medici family and the art of the wonderful monuments (such as the Dome by Filippo Brunelleschi or the Ponte Vecchio). On the other hand, you will discover the taverns of the past frequented by the most famous Renaissance artists (such as the famous Michelangelo!), full of curiosities and anecdotes.

“Wow did we pack a lot into just a few hours with Martina. It was certainly due to her knowledge of the city and passion for the arts. We were amazed at her depth of history, Medici family, etc. She arranged for everything and also was flexible along the way for a quick espresso, stops for water, etc. She helped us navigate the extra requirements for accessing the museums due to the pandemic. Beyond the tour itself, we enjoyed getting to know Martina. She's fun, energetic, and even helpful with tips about places to check out and local dining etiquette. We visited a cople of the places she recommended the night after the tour and wouldn't have known about them without her.”
