Additional Information

Ever been curious about that statue on the street corner, that unusual rock in the square, that peculiar street lamp, or the discrepancy in the name locals use to refer to a particular street from the one on your map? Those, my dear, are the intriguing tales of our splendid city that only its inhabitants truly comprehend. These narratives, passed down through each generation, paint a picture of FLORENCE like no other - one not found in any book or folklore. We will explore not only the city’s highlights but also its concealed gems where you will experience things never revealed in any tour, and hear the City Stories that aren’t recorded in any of history’s chapters. My knowledge may not extend to the officially certified or detailed HISTORY that is readily available online, but I promise to share with you the stories and legends of this city that only we, its people, know and narrate. Additionally, I’ll provide you with my personal recommendations to gain access to special privileges at my favourite local spots in Florence during your visit.
