Additional Information

Florence, a globally renowned open-air gallery, boasts a remarkable history that hails from 59 B.C. when the Romans orchestrated the establishment of a camp for their veteran soldiers, which evolved into a flourishing city.

The city witnessed its greatest period of prosperity in the 13th century, spurred on by its thriving trade areas, particularly in the sectors of wool and banking.

The accumulation of wealth often came with power within Florence; hence, influential families namely the Strozzis, Pazzis, and Medicis vied with each other for dominance. Surprisingly, they leveraged art as a tool in their rivalries, serving as the public communication medium of that era.

Embark on this enlightening walking tour across the city, perfect for unveiling the hidden tales and enigmas of Florence. Our proficient English-speaking guide will accompany you along the age-old streets and plazas, elucidating on what makes Florence genuinely remarkable. From the adventures of Dante to the ascension and downfall of the Medici dynasty, this exceptional walking tour promises an immersive journey through Florence’s illustrious past.

Florence with a smile - Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, and was able to (somewhat) customize the route to best suit our interests. Since the other people did not show up, my husband and I got a private walking tour! This helped us get the lay of the land on our 1st day in Florence. We even “bumped” into each other the next day and were greeted warmly and with smiles! Would recommend!

Great overview. - Our tour guide did an excellent job of educating us about the history of Florence while continuing to move along. We were not standing in one place for too long. The 90 minutes was a good amount of time to be structured in a tour.
