FULL DESCRIPTION

This is the ideal trip for someone who would like to have a memorable experience in one of the most beautiful and artistic cities in Italy, while making good use of the precious time you have available. From Rome you will set off on a journey in a fully-equipped car with an English-speaking driver. Once you arrive in Florence, the first stop will be “Piazzale Michelangelo” (Michelangelo’s Square), where you can admire a spectacular view of the city. Next, we will go down the hill that overlooks Florence and cross the River Arno to “Piazza della Signoria”, the most important square in Florence. Here we find Palazzo Vecchio, a historic building center of the political city life in the 13th century. Then, you may either continue your tour independently, with the suggestions of our knowledgeable driver, or go on a walking tour with one of our excellent licensed city guides. If you like, you could continue with a visit to “Santa Croce”, the Basilica of the Holy Cross with its 16 chapels adorned with frescoes by Giotto and his students. Here the former Franciscan dormitory is now the "Scuola di Cuoio" (leather school), where you can see leather-workers at making leather goods, which they sell in the shop next door. You could stroll on to “Ponte Vecchio”, Florence’s symbol, also known as "Ponte D’Oro" (Golden Bridge) due to its numerous, historic jewelry shops. And, last but not least, a visit to Michelangelo’s world-famous David, at the Academy Gallery. Obviously, between one stop and another, we will also pause to have lunch at a restaurant in the old city center. Here we will have the opportunity to taste typical local dishes with an excellent glass of Chianti Wine.
