Tour description

Do you want to experience the true essence of Florence, far from the tourist trail? Join us as we discover the Oltrarno, the city's most authentic, artistic, and Florentine neighborhood.

We begin in the elegant Piazza Santa Trinità, where we'll discuss powerful families, fashion, and commercial rivalries. We'll cross the beautiful Ponte Santa Trinità, rebuilt stone by stone after World War II, offering one of the most beautiful views of the Ponte Vecchio.

We'll walk through Borgo San Iacopo, between medieval towers and charming alleyways, and arrive at the hidden Piazza della Passera, a symbol of the most popular, creative, and vibrant Oltrarno.

We'll visit the Mona Lisa's birthplace, learn about Machiavelli's thinking in front of his former residence, and stop in front of Bianca Cappello's Palace to discover a story of love, power, and scandal with the Medici family as its protagonists.

We'll continue to the imposing Pitti Palace and close the tour in the vibrant Piazza Santo Spirito, the bohemian heart of the neighborhood, where a young Michelangelo secretly studied anatomy.

A tour steeped in history, fascinating characters, and unique spots. Ideal for those who want to experience Florence like a true local.
