Itinerary
We could dedicate days, even weeks to this square for all the details it contains, but we will focus above all on one person, Cosimo 1st de'Medici, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany, we will know him through some of the statues in the square and we will also take a look at the frescoes he had made in honor of his son's wedding.
This cathedral represents the most important place in Florence, we will talk about it in detail, we will see how it was made and we will also focus on the dome, a masterpiece by Filippo Brunelleschi.
One of the most beautiful bridges in the world, after 800 years is still standing and amazes visitors with its charm and its medieval atmosphere. But why are there all those jewelers? We will find out during the tour.
The magnificent square once used for the race with chariots, like in Rome. Why we had a race like this in Florence? Wi'll find it out here.

Alone with the guide. Only happiness. A walk of about 1 hour in Florence with stops at the main sites.
Vincent was a great tour guide! He shared a lot of interesting facts that kept the kids and adults interested. He is knowledgeable and made the tour fun! We recommend this tour 100%!
During the tour we encountered beautiful scenery everywhere we turned. The guide provided us with great information about the culture of the city.
The knowledge of my guide, Vincenzo. He was affable, energetic, and knowledgeable in every aspect of the tour: history, architecture, art, politics, AND he even gave me some Florentine culinary recommendations; not restaurants, but dishes to try. I lucked out to be the only one on the tour that morning, so it was more like seeing these sights with a very knowledgeable friend. Do it!
Vincenzo was a fantastic guide. He was very informative and friendly . We enjoyed it all and liked the fact that he showed us the main sights and explained them in detail along with lots of general information about Florence as our first time there.
