About

Embark on our tour through Florence's city center and experience the grandeur of one of the world's most captivating cities. Take a leisurely stroll through the streets and follow in the footsteps of the powerful Medici dynasty who reigned over the city during the 14th and 15th centuries. Discover the rich heritage and history that has spanned centuries, all in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. In Florence, your tour guide will entertain you with a detailed history of the city during the walking tour. Starting with the prehistoric times when people lived in Florence, the city later emerged as an important center of Etruscan culture, and eventually developed into a Roman city known as ""Florentia.” Throughout the Middle Ages, Florence withstood various wars, but it was also an era of great prosperity with the rise of textile manufacturing and trade, as well as impressive architectural projects. "Praised as the birthplace of the Renaissance," Florence was able to bask in peace and riches during the wise governance of the Medici family. This allowed the city to become an icon of art and culture. Simultaneously, esteemed financiers invested substantially in grand mansions to supersede their narrow residences, all whilst generously funding the embellishment of churches. Florence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a mesmerizing treasure chest filled with centuries-old artwork and architecture. It's enchanting and romantic, and the result of its beauty is stunning. You can discover the marvels for yourself and be sumptuously enhanced by the splendor. Admire the Piazza della Signoria, and take cues from your guide as you soak up the beauty of the Palazzo Vecchio. The bell tower, famously called the Tower of Giotto, and Duccio's sculptural decoration are visible from here. Revel at the magnificence of the Baptistery's gold paneled "Gates of Paradise" located beside the Cathedral - Florence's pride and joy - known as Duomo. This enchanting visit extends on to Santa Trinità Church, and finally to Orsanmichele.
