Tour description

Join us for a fascinating walk in the heart of Florence, through alleys rich in history and iconic squares. We will start from Piazza Santa Maria Novella, elegant and lively, to immediately immerse ourselves in the unique atmosphere of the historic center. 

We will stop in front of the Colonna della Croce del Trebbio, a silent witness to ancient city feuds, and then reach Piazza Antinori, where we will admire the elegant baroque facade of the Church of Saints Michael and Gaetano. 

We will continue towards the pulsating heart of the city: Piazza del Duomo, where you will be enchanted by the majesty of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Giotto's Bell Tower, and the splendid Baptistery of San Giovanni, with the famous bronze Gates of Paradise. 

The tour continues in Piazza della Signoria, a true open-air museum, dominated by the imposing Palazzo Vecchio and animated by sculptures that tell centuries of power and art. 

Next stop: Palazzo Davanzati, a jewel of 14th-century Florentine architecture, to discover what life was like in a noble Renaissance residence. 

We will conclude our journey on the romantic Ponte Santa Trinità, from which we will enjoy a breathtaking view of the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno, ending the tour with an unforgettable look at the most evocative Florence.
