Art & Culture
A city of masterpieces.
And stories untold.
A historian-led walk from the masterpieces to the quiet backstreets.
The experience
Discover Florence through the eyes of a historian, from its celebrated masterpieces to the quieter streets and stories that reveal the city's true character.
Florence, beyond the familiar
Florence is a city where centuries of history unfold around every corner. Alongside your private guide, wander from the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore to the lively Piazza della Signoria, discovering the artists, families and fascinating stories that shaped the Renaissance.
Beyond the celebrated landmarks, follow quieter streets towards the Arno and the artisan neighbourhoods of Oltrarno. Along the way, Lorenzo shares the little details, hidden histories and local perspectives that make Florence feel less like a museum and more like a living city.
