Exploring Florence and its ancient and artistic squares.

Ciao! Are you visiting Florence for the first time or do you live there and want to get to know it better? If the answer is yes this is the perfect visit for you. I will show you the most important places in the city walking through its main streets and crossing its ancient and artistic squares! Highlights: We will start our visit in the square of Santa Maria Novella, famous for a now forgotten tradition, the race with wagons. We will also admire the beautiful façade of the church, the work of the genius of Leon Battista Alberti. Our visit continues in the religious center of the city, cathedral square, the famous cathedral surmounted by the majestic dome, by Filippo Brunelleschi. We will then continue towards the square that is still the political center of Florence, Piazza della Signoria, where we will get to know Cosimo I de' Medici better through the statues he wanted. The last part of our itinerary will be dedicated to Ponte Vecchio and the river that flows under it, the Arno.
Afternoon Street Art Tour

Tour for art lovers with a special eye to contemporary developments. This tour starts where the morning Street Art & Food tour ended but attendance to the morning one is not necessary to understand and fully appreciate this visit. Please note that this tour will start with a minimum of 2 participants and a maximum of 8. We will explore the Oltrarno neighborhood and cross to the other side of the river to end in Santa Maria Novella. Through off the beaten streets we will discover the lively and active world of local artists. The tour will end at the Street Levels Gallery, one of the key centers for all of the Street Artists living or simply passing from Florence.
