Embrace the heart of the Renaissance!

If you’re looking for the perfect introduction to Florence, search no further. The Treasures of Florence Tour will give your family a broad overview of one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. See the world-renowned historic Duomo, hub of ancient and modern Florentine religious life. See the picturesque squares and marketplaces, classical architecture and winding ways of this capital of the region of Tuscany.

With an expert English-speaking guide, your family will enjoy a relaxed and informative walking tour. Learn about the historic buildings, their styles and functions, as you stroll through the very center of the Italian Renaissance.

Visit the political center, the Piazza della Signoria. Here the imposing Palazzo Vecchio houses a noteworthy collection of Renaissance statuary. Learn what inspired their creation, and their importance to the people of Florence.

No visit to Florence would be complete without a walk over the Medieval Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence. Your kids will love the story of this “stinky” bridge of old. You’ll give thanks to King Ferdinand I, who in 1563 decreed that no butchers could set up shop along the bridge, due to the health hazards of rotting meat. Jewelers took their place. Be sure to put a coin in the mouth of Il Porcellino, the little pig statue, for good luck. Rub his nose to secure your return visit to Florence, city of beauty and wonder.
