One of the city's oldest religious structures, the Florence Baptistery is an architectural marvel renowned for its octagonal shape, striking green and white marble façade, and the iconic bronze doors known as the 'Gates of Paradise.'

This landmark embodies the rich tapestry of Florence's religious and artistic heritage.

Piazza della Repubblica

A testament to Florence's evolution through the ages, Piazza della Repubblica stands as one of the city's main squares.

A prominent arch, the Arcone, bears inscriptions referencing the square's layered history. The Piazza is a perfect backdrop for photos, casual strolls, or simply soaking in the vibrant Florentine atmosphere.

An emblem of Florence, the Ponte Vecchio is the city's most illustrious bridge, arching gracefully over the Arno River. Distinguished by the charming shops, primarily jewelers, that line its edges, this medieval stone bridge has a rich history dating back to the 13th century. Once a passage for dukes between palaces, its characteristic terracotta and pastel shades against the backdrop of the river make it a favorite for photographers and romantic souls. Walk along its storied path: the ambiance, views, and its unique construction make the Ponte Vecchio a must-visit landmark in any Florentine journey.

For centuries, this L-shaped plaza has been a focal point of political and social activity in Florence.

Rome to Florence day trip

Published on Dec, 2024

Very smooth. Mateo met us at Cafe Trombetta at ~7 AM and gave us our round trip train tix. He gathered the group together around 7.50 AM and took us to our platform. After arriving in Florence he gave us basic instructions and handed us over to a local guide, who gave a nice tour of key spots of central Florence including a view of the Arno river. She subsequently gave us a tour of the Uffizi Gallery. After the Gallery tour, we were on our own. We met Mateo at the station close to six. He ensured we were on the return train to Rome. Overall a good and beautiful experience, especially given the Christmas season.

This was a well organized...

This was a well organized tour with professional and friendly guides. There was plenty of free time as well. This was a great introduction to Florence.

Train trip to Florence

Published on Oct, 2024

Was a great trip. Long day lots to see. Guides were great. The only thing we got picked up at the hotel in the morning would have been nice to be taken back to the hotel afterwards.

Wonderful Florence

The entire day was wonderful. Gabriele, our main guide for the tour did a great job. He was accommodating and had so much to point out. He made us feel like family. We also had an additional local guide for the museum who was incredibly knowledgeable. We had plenty of alone time to explore the city. Simply an amazing experience. Recommend.
