About this tour
Spend twelve hours exploring Florence with a local guide, moving between Renaissance landmarks and food stops at a relaxed pace. You'll depart Rome early, arriving in the city centre to uncover architectural treasures and taste regional specialities alongside fellow travellers. The itinerary balances guided insight with breathing room to wander; your guide handles logistics so you can absorb the history and flavour without consulting maps or queuing alone.
Highlights
- Renaissance architecture explained by someone who knows the city
- Tastings of authentic Italian food and regional wines
- Free time to explore neighbourhoods independently
- Transport from central Rome accommodation included
- Group experience with minimum four participants
What to expect
After pickup from your Rome lodgings, you'll travel to Florence and meet your guide. Expect a mix of walking tours past major buildings and planned stops at local food vendors or trattorias where you'll sample dishes and drinks. Your guide provides context—historical detail, production methods, neighbourhood stories—but won't choreograph every moment. You'll have gaps to slip into a side street, linger at a café, or revisit a spot that caught your eye. The day moves at a conversational pace; this isn't a rushed tick-box exercise.
