About
If you’re visiting Florence for the first time and are looking for the perfect introduction to the city, this is the tour for you.
Together, we’ll crisscross the historic center (Centro Storico), visiting its main squares, strolling its cobbled streets, admiring the art and architecture all around us, and learning about the history of the city from the time of the Etruscans through to the modern day.
Of course, no tour would be complete without a stop for a gelato, so we’ll fuel up whenever hunger strikes!
We’ll start our tour at the Duomo and Baptistry (Florence’s cathedral complex), before moving on to Piazza della Repubblica, the square where everything began in Florence back in the days of the ancient Romans.
From there, it’s on to the Porcellino market, where we’ll see the famous wild boar statue. The Ponte Vecchio bridge awaits us next, which we’ll cross over on our way to the Oltrarno area. Here, we'll enjoy a walk among the lovely artisan workshops and cool boutiques and then make a quick stop outside the Pitti Palace.
Heading back into the Centro Storico, the grand Piazza della Signoria is our next destination, where we’ll admire one of the greatest collections of statues anywhere on Earth.
Leaving the square and masses of tourists behind, we’ll now wander over to our final stop, Piazza Santa Croce, a square which offers us two wonderful opportunities: we can either tour the incredible Basilica di Santa Croce or learn about traditional crafts by visiting a leather workshop and the studio of one of the last great masters of Florentine mosaics.
If you want to see the best of Florence in a morning or afternoon, join me!
