Discover the Soul of Florence: Leather, Craftsmanship, and Passion. Unveil the Artistry of Florence: A Journey Through Leather and Tradition. Immerse Yourself in Florentine Elegance.

Discover the best artisan tour in Florence and experience the city beyond the typical tourist routes.

This experience combines the historical center of Florence with its authentic artisan tradition, offering a deeper and more complete understanding of the city.

Starting near Santa Croce, the tour unfolds through the heart of Florence, where you will visit carefully selected artisan workshops—real working spaces where Florentine craftsmanship is still alive.

Inside these workshops, you will observe artisans at work and, when possible, see live demonstrations of traditional techniques passed down through generations.

From leather craftsmanship to jewelry and decorative arts, each stop reveals a different side of Florence’s creative identity.

During the experience, you will enjoy a guided tasting of three high-quality extra virgin olive oils, learning how to recognize their flavors, aromas, and characteristics—an essential part of Tuscan culture.

In the 4-hour version, the experience is enriched with a tasting of two carefully selected local wines, offering a deeper immersion into the flavors of the region.

This is a guided experience: guests do not participate in workshops during the tour.

However, each location can be explored further, and if you wish, you will have the opportunity to return and book a hands-on workshop directly with the artisans.

As you move through the city, your tour leader will introduce you to additional artisan shops and hidden corners, blending culture, craftsmanship, and local traditions into a single experience.

This is not a standard tour. It is a curated journey through Florence, designed for travelers who want to truly understand the city, not just see it.
