Itinerary

Meet your guide in Piazza di Santa Croce, one of the most lively historical squares in Florence, overlooked by the Basilica of the same name.
Ponte Vecchio is Florence's most famous and oldest bridge, dating back to Roman times, crossing the Arno River. It's renowned for its picturesque views and unique design, with shops built along both sides.
Dominated by the towering Palazzo Vecchio, the square has been a center of power for centuries. It features stunning sculptures, including a replica of Michelangelo's David and the Fountain of Neptune.
The Porcellino Fountain is a bronze statue of a wild boar, affectionately known as "Il Porcellino." Visitors come to rub the boar's snout for good luck and toss a coin into the fountain for a wish.
Piazza della Repubblica in Florence is a vibrant, historic square at the heart of the city. Surrounded by elegant cafés and bustling with street performers, it's a hub of social activity.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as the Duomo of Florence, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, dominating the city's skyline. Its iconic red-tiled dome, designed by Brunelleschi, and the elegant facade of white, green, and pink marble make it a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance.
The San Lorenzo Market in Florence is one of the city's most vibrant outdoor markets. Located near the Basilica of San Lorenzo, it offers a lively atmosphere where visitors can explore stalls filled with leather goods, clothing, and souvenirs.

My kids and I loved this tour! They are 10 and 14 and they get bored pretty easily, but Bruno was amazing at capturing their attention. We all had a great time!
